| Exact Power EP15A/SP15A vs. PS Audio Power Plants A_hayman, what about the sound, with vs. without? Did you compare it to any other PLC's? | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Now *that* sounds like the automotive equivalent of Thomas' audio system! I just hope the system is a little more comfortable and doesn't leave spots on the carpet...(I used to own a stock Spitfire :-) | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check Rogocop, your admission that you are new to this hobby, had I known, would have caused me to somewhat temper my criticism (and I never said the dealers were blameless in your case). But neither that fact nor your further attempts at excusing yours... | |
| High end vs internet Let me throw a random item out here: two of the high end stores in my general area not only don't feature any window displays or signage about what it is they carry (other than the store name), they have actively covered over their windows so that... | |
| Exact Power EP15A/SP15A vs. PS Audio Power Plants DTM, Ljgj emailed me (and I apologized for getting his username wrong - my vision is good, so it must be my brain!) and was very enthusiastic about the early going. He indicated he was loaning the units to a friend for about a week, and would be d... | |
| High end vs internet Yes Trelja, you are correct that I was basically jes' funnin', even though my second comment about the sonics of Emh's proposal was directed toward the idea of setting up in an auditorium, not the music in question. Nothing would sound good enough... | |
| Review: Krell FPB-200 Amplifier I don't disagree with your point about supporting companies that build here in the US. I'm just not persuaded that companies taking their assembly business to China is necessarily bad for assembly workers in China. But as you imply, there are many... | |
| Review: Krell FPB-200 Amplifier Seandt, I guess I'm partly hoping that audio electronics aren't as bad in this regard as clothing might be... | |
| Review: Krell FPB-200 Amplifier I have to say (not that I know), the Xmas light story sounds pretty apocryphal to me. One could make the argument that capitalism in countries like China is what is dragging them into the modern world - yes, for worse as well as for better, but ul... | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Well, we'll see about the way I think - I've finally got my initial reply from Mr. De Lima, and am proposing to engage in a limited dialog with him about his theory. More later... | |
| High end vs internet Emh - It's a nice thought, but surely you realize that the sound would be half of the problem. | |
| Giving up on Power Race, and going SET? Yeah...I see sort of an 'Audiophile Cannonball Run' concept shaping up here...we blitz around the country in stages (trying not to get pulled), with members' houses as individual leg destinations, where we all stop for competitive auditioning of o... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check No, Jcbtubes, rest assured it's not only your opinion. You've saved me the trouble of reiterating several of your points. All I want to 'add' is to make explicit the connection between your accurately-observed comments, "All I've read are the rati... | |
| High end vs internet Emh, I'm trying to concentrate on imagining a high school auditorium hosting a high end set-up playing Eminem, but each time I get it fixed in my mind for an instant, something makes me wince in pain and I lose the thought, whereupon I immediately... | |
| Retail Buying - Reality Check Where else are negotiations supposed to start from besides MSRP? And there would be more bread in those dealers' kids' mouths had they sold you something. Far be it from me to get on anyone's case for buying through Audiogon, please don't get me w... |
