| Atlantic City casinos closing... As a kid our family took our vacations in Ocean City just South of AC. It was a very nice place. It has been well over 40 years since our last family gathering there. Last time I was in AC was within a few years after Resorts, Harrahs, Playboy Clu... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage First off I totally agree with Raymonda, 3d sound must be on the recording to hear it at home on an audio system. I also agree with him, at least concerning most studio rock recordings that there is little 3D effect on these recordings. Live recor... | |
| Fairpoint Convention Well we could go back a little bit further than Annie and include the Chieftains but maybe they don't qualify since they're Irish and aren't strictly folk/rock, their repertoire spreads out a bit more. How far back can this go? So far as musicians... | |
| Sold speakers you really enjoyed?... But why? "I bet that most audiophiles never get everything out of their speakers that they can. Just a guess."I totally agree with you Ctsooner. Although I haven't owned nearly as many speakers as some have I can say without reservation that I have left fe... | |
| Fairpoint Convention That's Lindisfarne | |
| Fairpoint Convention From the Leige and Leif album. I still have that album from 1969 or 1970. There was another English folk/rock group from that era that I also enjoyed, saw them at the Spectrum in the early 70's with Fairport. Remember the group Linsisfarne and "La... | |
| Most underrated Audio Manufacturers In my opinion several of your choices are not at all underated but get the recognition they rightfully deserve, at least by those in the "know". They would include Lamm, Atma-Sphere, Reference 3A and the Rega 300 of the products I've heard, owned ... | |
| What happened to Jfox I was kind of wondering about Bill in "AZ" as well Tvad. "You can't hide those suite blue eyes" | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? To Soundsreal, cynical? really. What is more cynical than dissing a manufacturer without providing any real world experience with that product or manufacturer, very unfair. Case in point Quicksilver for one. A manufacturer that has been around for... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Agreed Elizabeth. The "value" of all the responses so far are absolutely worthless without putting the choices in some type of context as to WHY the respondents think they are overrated. What is the point anyway? Too many of these type trolling th... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? "High End" is a pretentious word coined by Harry Pearson. Maybe because the word "Hi-Fidelity" lost its original intent of meaning during the 60's when everything was referred to as "Hi-Fi" or "Hi-Fidelity? Don't know for sure, maybe Harry could c... | |
| Top brand speakers Bo this one's for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaV-6qerkqIAs best I can tell this is a pretty good 3-D stage but unfortunately I am listening on my cheap computer monitor speakers so I'm not 100% certain. Enjoy! | |
| Vandersteen 2CE v NHT 2.5?? or ?? I've owned both the Vandy 2C and NHT 2.5i. Different presentation, the 2C more laid back and refined the NHT is a bit aggressive in the upper mids, somewhat shouty and a more hi-fi, "you are listening to a speaker" presentation. The Kappa 7's are ... | |
| Bill Legall-MillerSound speaker driver repair Another +1 for Bill Legall. Again, one of the nicest guys you could ever meet aside from his business practices. The guy just loves people and helping them, that's his real satisfaction. You have to meet him to know how true this is. His competanc... | |
| Monitors that compete with quality floorstanders?? I also recommend the Decapos. They are among the very best monitors anywhere close to their price I've listened to but then some might be a bit turned off by their liveliness, a reason I prefer them, among other attributes that I haven't heard in ... |
