| HiFi dealers & audiophile wife problems Thanks for the advice Carl. I have heard Sennheiser is one of the better manufacturers - in fact the only company that doesn't make headphones you can buy at Walmart!!! Ironically, the better independent Hi-Fi shops in Dallas don't carry headphone... | |
| Best disc on DVD for audio? Thanks for the feedback, I need to check that Police DVD out. Almost all the concerts I have are on LD and I've haven't heard any "music" DVD's yet. Anyone heard Sarah McLachlan's "Mirrorball"? Was the recording any good? | |
| HiFi dealers & audiophile wife problems My wife and I were arguing about my latest purchase of some audio gear. I explained to her about how I enjoy the music, it's my hobby, etc., etc. I must say that she got the better of me (a first) when she said; "Why don't you buy a great pair of ... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! That guy that did "Ricko Suave". PATHETIC! Ricky Martin is a big lip-sync no-talent too! | |
| Challenge Audio Magazines I too share the opinion that Audiophile magazines leave a lot to be desired. In my many years of reading Stereophile, Audio Review, The High-End, etc. I can never recall a BAD review. Even crappy stuff gets some positive comments on "how great the... | |
| Best female vocals on CD This is a pretty good thread. There are so many great singers out there, each with a different style and genre of music. I think some of the standouts would be Holly Cole (Which - to "Inscrutable" - does have a CD out titled "Don't smoke in Bed" -... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century My first pick would be The Chairman, Sinatra, for his style of phrasing - the best. My other vote getters would be Justin Hayward (Moody Blues), Paul McCartney, Mel Torme, Gordon Lightfoot and (I'm cheating a little) Simon & Garfunkel, which w... | |
| MFSL CD's - Are they worth it? Thanks rec, I agree with most of what you say. I do have the Moody Blues (all of them) on MFSL CD's and I think they are better than the current remasters out there. I also have the MFSL DSOM and that sounds way better than the current remaster - ... | |
| The BEST Audiophile System under $5k... I know this thread was started with NEW equipment as the guideline. Sorry 'bout that. | |
| The BEST Audiophile System under $5k... This thread is about as subjective as it gets! I'd say MY system. Some of these pieces are a little older and not made anymore but is all less than 8 years old and can be had now for even less! Snell CV speakers($1900), Hafler 9270 150Wx2 amp ($80... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst There was a chain store in the Dallas area several years back called Highland Superstore's. That now defunct franchise used to have a dedicated Bose listening room. In this torture chamber from left to right was a wall starting with the BOSE 901 a... | |
| Hi Fi Car Audio HiFi car audio. Now there's an oxymoron. I've heard a lot of supposed HiFi car systems - no stage, no image just LOUD! It's great to park w/ the doors open, crank up and drink a cold one but NOT for any active LISTENING! | |
| Proportional Allocation to Total System Hi, I'm not one for numbers either, but upon thinking about where the money is in my system, I'd say it breaks down this way. 1)Source 2)Speakers 3)Amps 4)Interconnects/speaker wire 5) Pre-amp 6)Other tweaks (isolation/power line cond., etc.) The ... | |
| Picture problems on TV from CD player It sounds like you're experiencing RF interference from the CD player. You can try two things: 1) Ferrite clamps on the cables of the CD and TV AND 2) Moving the CD player to a different spot in the room and using a different wall socket. As to th... | |
| BEST classical guitar.....CD! It isn't "classical" but is accoustic and an EXCELLENT recording - "Thunderation" by Dan Crary. |
