| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Mr. Tennis: I think he acknowledged that only the buyer knows what sound he likes.Funny, unlike you, the more educated and knowledgeable I have become over the years in any pursuit, whether it is law, cars, hi-fi or whatever, the more I realize ho... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put Bifwynne- before the Internet made it so easy to 'chat,' buy equipment and research stuff, people used to get together in hi-fi clubs, and I suppose some still do. And the regular meetings were just a part of it. You also met others in your area, ... | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? But tape hiss from an older recording is not really about the 'noise floor' of the system. | |
| Blackness - how quiet does it need to be? It may have been covered to some degree by your discussion in the context of digital, but to me, i think it goes way beyond hiss- it is the resolving power of the system to pluck out the nuances of the music or voice against the background at low ... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Very informative post by Josh. (Josh, btw, are those your refurbished Tympani that are for sale, to be delivered from Magnapan on completion?) | |
| Do you believe in Magic? NoNoise- No doubt. Musicians can get the gist of a recorded performance over a crappy boombox, because they are listening to the song or performance for artistic reasons, and not the fidelity of reproduction. (Not to say a musician or songwriter c... | |
| Why has Avantgarde Quality Slipped ? I've owned my Duos, new, since around the time I started posting here, 2006? Nary an issue, but everytime I reached out to the company directly, I received a response promptly. I'm not going to raise doubts about the OP, but whatever is going on, ... | |

| Manley Chinook What speakers are you using, Stevecham? | |
| Do you believe in Magic? My problem with storing records vertically has nothing to do with sonics; unlike a book, which is usually wide enough for the printing on the spine to be legible to me, trying to read the printing on the edge of a record jacket when stored in line... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Geoffkait: For what it's worth, I am in the early throes of thinking about my next room, though I don't have a new house/building locked down yet. Apart from acoustic help, and sorting basic things like power and quiet AC, I'm looking for a large,... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? By definition, # 17 on Audiofeil's list is impossible. That's what makes this interesting..... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? I''ll bite. As annotated below:1. Removing all telephone books from the house. I don't see this, unless the telephone books are blocking the speakers or air vents on the equipment. But, if you are using them for isolation under equipment, or to si... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Interesting thread. I have enjoyed Bryon's postings elsewhere on the Gon. I'm actually surprised this one has gotten as acrimonious as it has, since I thought Bryon started with the proposition that some of these 'tweaks,' for lack of a better wor... | |
| Magnepan Service HORRIBLE??? Wolf- I gotta say, apart from the substance of your post (which i tend to agree with), you are pretty funny. |
