| Funniest sales pitch Yes, that type of advertising never gets old. Though for a second, I wasn't sure what they were selling. At first I thought it was some sort of acoustically inert thong that your girlfriend or wife could wear to reduce standing waves and that sort... | |
| Funniest sales pitch Nope, found a new one today. Black Mountain Cable. Girl in a thong bent over with cords draped across her back. Never heard of the company, for some reason I just want to buy some... A picture really is worth a thousand words. | |
| Funniest sales pitch My new favorite: There's a $50,000 pair of speakers on here that the owner is calling "Giant Killers" | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro The Proceeds are out of my price range. I actually just purchased a sunfire cinema grand at a price that was too good to pass up. I imagine this will be so far ahead of the Onkyo that died that I will love it. If not, however, I can always resell ... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Ok, I'm still mulling this decision. I had pretty much decided on picking up an AVM 2 and then I came upon this page here which compares the avm 2 to the avm 20 v1 and v2. I've heard from some who moved from the avm2 to the avm 20 that, sonically,... | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM I'm using an M audio Firewire Audiophile. It sounds quite good, but it has some quirky volume problems. They are supposed to address this in a future firmware upgrade, but until they do that, I can not recommend it. | |
| Audiophile USB to PCM I read about the Sutherland and it was panned as basically an expensive piece of junk (looks pretty cool though). If you can run a digital out from any external soundcard into your DAC, you would already be way beyond the Sutherland. | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Thank you all for your responses. This is where I stand right now: It's still between the AVM-2 and the Soundstage for the processor. I'm leaning toward the AVM-2 because, while the reviews are glowing for thw Soundstage, I've run across the occas... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro I never considered the sherbourn, thanks, I'll check that out. I kept reading about processors and now I'm considering the Aragon Soundstage. It seems to get incredible reviews for it's two channel sound in particular and it has 5.1 analogue input... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Well, I'm about to commit the cardinal audio sin--buy without hearing first. I figure I'm buying used and could resell without too much of a hit. It looks like the avm2 is what I'll try.However, I'm still looking for a 5 channel amp. The Powermast... | |
| USB DA recommendation needed Very odd, M Audio is known in the pc music world as having the most stable drivers. That, and the sound, is what drew me in. I've been using the firewire audiophile for a few months now with no crashes (on a PC though--A REAL computer:) I would al... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Great responses, I've been doing a lot of reading and I've now ruled out B&K as an option. I did some reading on the MCA5 and did not like what I read. It did not seem to strike reviewers as a musical amplifier at all. The AVM-2 is a possibili... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Thank you for your responses. PrPixel, I've heard very good things about the sound of the AVM2, do you know if it has multichannel input for SACD? I'd never even considered the MCA5 and know nothing about it. I'll start researching it. Could you c... | |
| Can Anyone Please Walk Me Through This? Haha, love the comment about brass cones and mahogany cones:) When stated that way, yes, I am in complete agreement with you.Also, in your defense, I have not been able to compare APS and APX as extensively as you on multiple systems so I'm quite ... | |
| Have A Great Summer Everyone Yes Ed, please buy the Sirius satellite radio for your trip. I own the stock and it's tanking... |
