| $$$ vs music enjoyment "In fact, many suggest that, if there is such a thing as decline or death of the high-end, it is partly due to the fact that audio industry has never marketed its products as status symbols like the high-end watch or jewelry makers have always don... | |
| Suggestions of integrated amps You won't get what you are looking for with the Naim. I had the 5i and was very disappointed with it. Its definately not going to be warm. You won't be mistaking it for a tube amp. The best way to describe the sound is that its not clean. When I s... | |
| Amp Recommendation If you have a TT, I don't think it would make sense to get a digital preamp. The whole point of analog is to get away from digital. I know you want the room correction, but if you take the time to match and setup your components properly, you shou... | |
| flac player question What made you pick VLC for music? There's no question its a very good video player but I don't like it at all for music. To me, at least, the highs are very bright/harsh. Up to this point, I haven't noticed much difference between most of the play... | |
| What are the differences in Tweeter materials? Mezzanine,I'm glad you posted. My comment about the secret pricing structure, I hope, was taken just as some light hearted humour, and nothing more. Someone always seems to be complaining and/or joking about the high cost of some equipment, I just... | |
| win7 music player Wildoats,I'm not sure what you mean by jumbled everything together. If you mean that you get 1 big file instead of a seperate file for each individual song, I suggest that you try a very small free program called Medieval Cue Splitter. I find it t... | |
| What are the differences in Tweeter materials? "Something I said in my post that offended you? Do you really have to respond in such a rude manner to a normal question I asked? "I have no idea why you would say that. What part of my post offended you? | |
| Amp Recommedation Upgrade your preamp first. It will make a much bigger difference. Tube or SS is fine. Use whatever you like better. Definately go with a preamp first, though. | |
| What are the differences in Tweeter materials? Mezzanine,How come you didn't include camel hair tweeters in you list of soft dome materials?Kijanki,I think you just P**** Off quite a few speaker companies. Looks like you just cracked the secret industry list price multiplier formula. | |
| Classe ssp 25 & Classe ca-150 vs. Nu Vista M3 As long as the MF was made in the UK, I think it will be a big step up in sound quality. I had an SSP-25. It was OK for movies but nothing special for music. | |
| Best "Giant Killer" Value Cables For... I understand what you are asking but I don't know if you are going about it the right way. The first thing you need to consider is what type of components you own. If you have an entry level system that doesn't have the highest resolution, it woul... | |
| Digital Or Traditional Preamp? There are a lot of different, and valid, choices. It's really going to depend on how good the components are and how well they mate with the gear you already own. For me, the most important part of a system to get right is the preamp. Most people ... | |
| Help me find my Weak Link. Can you list what you like and dislike about your system. You'll get much better answers that way. | |
| Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp "If you are referring to me, you do not know what you are talking about. I have had very good 2-channel systems for over 40 years, and some very good surround-sound systems for the past 10 years. And, I sold hi-end hi-fi for 3-4 years. So, I kinda... | |
| Best AV receiver to use as an AV pre amp If recommending a 2 channel preamp for 2 channel stereo makes me a bigot, I'm completely fine with it. People that don't have any clue as to what they are talking about always get mad or become nasty when they see or hear something they don't unde... |
