| Bedroom System DAC Suggestions? What do you think needs to be improved besides bass? How do the highs sound, etc.? The Creek plus the NHTs are determining most of the sound of your system, IMO. So I'd first look to one of those for any real change. How about a pair of narrow flo... | |
| Mellencamp on Music Business I thought his best point in the whole article was: sing the chorus from I Need a Lover... now sing a chorus from any Mariah Carey song. I've asked a couple of people to try that and you can guess the outcome. I was reminded of the point when I hea... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years I read Entrope's response above with a smile. I just rebuilt my 32 year old New Large Advents I bought new in '77 - crossovers and refoam. I was suprised at how good they sound. I hear a little less coherence than on more expensive speakers but, y... | |
| Best amps for Totem hawks?? please help How did you decide on the Hawks over the Forest? Seems like the Hawks with lower sensitivity and impedance are more suited to SS. Is that your take? | |
| Cardas new top of the line cable How much better can it be than the Golden Reference. I have the GR and they sound quite good. No desire to change them | |
| I met Eva Manley Always had good luck with Ayre customer service. I don't know the Charles was being condescending. Sounded like he was just trying to figure out the best way to support the guy. In any case, anytime you call Ayre with Serial # they can tell you al... | |
| CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME THIS? I think both cases are pretty common. Sometimes we just get to buying stuff on impulse and after it arrives check it for damage but never really integrate into the system and decide to resell when we get around to it. I did that with a fairly expe... | |
| If you could do a blind shootout... Aerial, Harbeth, Silverline, Totem, Vandersteen | |
| McIntosh C2300 The tubes are good, the pre-amp sounds great. I use the stock tubes for a good while before I broke it open and rolled 'em. | |
| Attn: Ayre v-5xe owners I wondered the same thing myself. I.e., was it only a difference in power. The guy I spoke with at Ayre (Steve?) said there's a lot of difference, much more than just the power. | |
| Benchmark DAC A couple of reasons... they recieved a good review in Stereophile so that sold a huge amount of them. Secondly, after those people bought them, they realized that they weren't a panacea to the usual problems that plague us, mainly digital issues. ... | |
| Trade offs? I think if you play an instrument, musicality's meaning is quite clear and if given, a high compliment indeed. It's not very difficult to play every note correctly with correct tempo, following the dynamics and have a piece not sound musical. I wo... | |
| which is your favorite inexpensive stereo system? Rega amps and Spendors mate well. Don't know if you can get it below $1000 but used shouldn't be too much more. | |
| Totem The One or Dynaudio Contour S1.4 I haven't heard the Totem's but in my opinion option 2 would provide the best sound. Naim, is crystal clear but gentle and the Dynaudios are simultaneously strong and laid-back. I think with the Ayre (can be slightly edgy on the highs but beautifu... | |
| Trade offs? I think you're analogy should be putting $500 tires (and new rims if necessary) on a BMW; just buy higher profile (higher aspect ratio) tires and made of softer tread. It won't corner as well in Alps but 90% of your driving will be much smoother a... |
