| Earmax Pro tube roll....help a lost soul Agree 100% with Tomcanale - some of the regulars over at head-fi have tube rolled practically every head amp you can think of - but the correct URL is www.head-fi.org | |
| Opitrix vs. Walker Audio Vivid? From the archives here, there was a thread on this recently. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1038597829&openflup&3&4#3Not many responses, but those who have tried multiple products seem to favor Walker Audio Vivid by ... | |
| 5 most recognizable voices in American music? The word "today" has me hung up a bit. Recognizable today? Many of today's ears have never heard the King, the Boss, JT or even MJ! The good news is that some of them were fortunate enough to have missed Madonna and Cyndi Lauper (for years, I thou... | |
| In-Wall Speakers I'm afraid I can't contribtute much to your conceptual questions, although I've often wondered the same things myself and agree that most in-walls are lacking in one respect or another for 2 channel listening. The sound stage is usually compressed... | |
| Best Portable CD Player There are lots of fairly decent pcdp's but nothing that will really compare to good home-based cd players in terms of the DACs used. Try a Panasonic SL-CT 470 or 570 if you can find one on Ebay. Both have excellent line outs but they're now out of... | |
| Overrated & Underrated Don't forget the "The" in Ohio State (i.e., The Ohio State University). It seems to be important to the people who find bragging rights important. | |
| Why I am Selling I bought it at Tweeters for $399, and... | |
| Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question Thanks, Jond. I'll try both and report any differences that I'm able to hear. What else is an audio nut to do? | |
| Burnin CDs? Sound loss/degration question Jond, I've just gone to the terrapin site and am thinking about buying a couple of spindles of 100 Mitsui discs for use with my Tascam CDR-W 2000. Any noticable sonic differences between the silver ($52) versus gold ($80) discs? | |
| who makes a good set of headphones Try a search of the archives here at Audiogon, which you can access by clicking on "more chat" at the bottom of the "forum topics". Several sites are devoted to headphone discussions, the best of which (in my opinion) is at www.head-fi.org As with... | |
| Where have the long-time regulars gone? Hey, I'm with you Sean! In fact, I just read your most excellent and detailed (as always) post tonight concerning the Phillips SACD1000. I can understand the burnout that a lot of you old pros must face from time to time. Yet, the individual and c... | |
| Mission 780 good value? Wow! At $299.99 for a new pair on Audio Advisor, that is a fabulous buy! I bought a used pair (mint really) for $400 about a year ago for my fiancee's system and felt they were a great value at that price. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to d... | |
| Single wiring bi-wireable speakers I tried the Newforms last night with the stock gold plated jumpers and the Kimber 8TC connected to the top binding posts. These were not the same speakers I remembered when they were in my reference system several months ago with bi-wired Tice 416... | |
| Rare Music? Strange how the mind works. This thread got me to thinking about a band by the name of Klaatu. I didn't even know how to spell the band name, but Google sure did! There now is an official Klaatu website (of course). The first 2 of their 5 albulms,... | |
| Why I am Selling Myran, this is lovely! It's destined to become a classic piece of Audiogon literature... but given that your unit is now 3 days old and the seal has been broken on the original packaging, don't you think that your asking price of 88% off of retail... |
