| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- Note that reviewers live in a world of allegedly quantifiable differences as they have access to myriad items that the great unwashed do not. That said, and having said that, your and my ears hear different things and I for one have proven to myse... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? You not only MUST upgrade often, you have to come here and tell everyone ad nauseam what you bought and how great it is so others can see how smart and sensitive you are. I do this, and everyone thinks I'm great. See? It works! | |
| What selections do you play when showing off your system to others? Nobody who doesn't already care about great audio really cares about how cool you think your stereo is. They simply do not give a damn generally, and may say something complimentary to be nice...kind of like "Nice train set," or "Nice tiny doll ho... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- Many reviewers post all of their own gear...would a photo make it sound better somehow? Because in either case you ain't gonna hear it. | |
| Best way to keep REL sub from “hopping around” at high volumes I've used REL subs for years and they've never moved an inch on their own. This entire thread is tawdry. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Why hasn't KEF thought of something like this?...wait...uh... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- A few other things should be mandatory: What does the item smell like? How many total parts does it have?

Always...there is no technology from any speaker designers that will track where you are and adjust itself. Consequently, a stereo mix that's well done always sounds better from the ... | |
| New Dennis Had amps Had lists his amps on Ebay generally and fairly often. His prices have gone up but are still a relative bargain for a world class hand made amp. I emailed him (his Ebay address) when I first bought my amp and he was surprised that the last guy had... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? The rare friends who are audio geeks already know what things cost, and those that aren't don't care. | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention When I decide to get a $9,000 cart, please shoot me. My $500 Ortofon Quintet Blue is keeping me unshot. Or so it seems. By the way, is MC ever going away again? Just wondering. | |
| New Dennis Had amps I've owned a Had Firebottle HO (allegedly "high output") for years and it's brilliant, and handles pretty much any power tubes of the "KT" variety with aplomb...most recently KT66s for some inexplicable reason. Got it barely used for around 1100 b... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live No sarcasm backtracking...deduct 9 points. | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live Possibly the weirdest and now my favorite Atmasphere post ever...yeah man! Reviews of my Klipsch Heresy speakers often say they sound like live music. I don't necessarily agree but it's comforting to my fragile ego...I've been in the live music b... | |
