| Recommend CD Player with Volume Control I agree with Carl. To say you don't like a product without being specific as to why contributes little to this thread. I have never heard the Resolution Audio products but there seems to be general consensus that it is an excellent value. When the... | |
| bass reproduction Hi Murphy I really don't know at what point you would have problems but that is a pretty decent sized room. I own a pair of VSM-SE's in a smaller room than that (bass is SUPERB BTY 32hz easy). I wonder if the TSM's might get lost in your room. You... | |
| Price/performance curve Michael You have asked a really interesting question the more I think about it. I will say this, that price point doesn't necessarily quantify a specific level of performance. Case in point Vandersteen 2ce Signatures. These speakers when matched t... | |
| Price/performance curve Onhwy61 Well I am getting a little off track here but I want to make a point about 20K speakers with deep bass and rooms. I don't know if you remember Lewis Lipwich a writer for Stereophile and Bass Basoonist with the National Symphony Orchestra. ... | |
| Price/performance curve Onhwy61- Your response is unclear. Are you stating that MRSP of 6-8K TOTAL SYSTEM is going to give you 85 to 90 percent of the best system available? I disagree with that assessment if that is your intent. Sdcampbell is closer to the mark and both... | |
| Bose Bashers Read This ! Say what you will about Bose products but the bottom line is that they have been extraodinarily successful at marketing if not ultimately offering the best value or less than stellar performance at their price point. I suspect more of their resear... | |
| Which Line Conditioner? The whole key point of a dedicated line that isn't mentioned is INDEPENDENT grounding as well. You will still pick up a lot of interference if you don't do this. The PS Audio product is a little different than a line conditioner filter. I agree wi... | |
| What deserves to be Remastered on CD? Kira You made my day!!! My vinyl is wearing thin on all those albums you mentioned. I have them all and multiple copies of most. They are ALL great albums, better than the earlier stuff in my opinion except Pet Sounds. Man who would remember Carl ... | |
| What deserves to be Remastered on CD? The Beach Boy's Surf's Up needs to be remastered IMHO. Problem is opinions may differ on their later stuff, I would buy it, any other takers? Actually that album has never been released on CD at all and it is an excellent recording. Just 100000000... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Well Pops I respect your opinion and taste as well and I am sure whatever you have in your listening room that can't be displaced by the Vandy 3A Sigs especially must be quite special indeed. There is no way we are talking about the same speakers ... | |
| How do VANDERSTEEN Signature 2ce's rate? Issabre You have discovered the most important point in audio period. That given an excellent recording all systems will improve. An excellent system can make the recording come alive. My first experience with a true high end system was with these... | |
| Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase? I can honestly say it has never happened to me and I have been at this high-end business for about 15 years or so. The key thing is don't buy impulsively. There really isn't much reason for getting burned in this day and age. You have access to a ... | |
| How do VANDERSTEEN Signature 2ce's rate? “Oh what tangled webs we weave when we practice to deceive” It seems old “Joe”coherent who it would seem on the surface was just trying to have a little fun with his flame throwing may have a little darker side after all. The good folks over at Au... | |
| Are Talon speakers really this great? Khrys I think Joe has the Avalon look alike, not the redesigned new version. Read his post above. Will | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Sdcampbell Just listened last night to "The King of Peace Is Dead" by Nina. First time in many years. What a concidence you mention it. It is a heartfelt performance to be sure. |
