| 3/3/2015 Another San Francisco Smash and grab "03-28-15: SchubertIf there were enough decent jobs for all paying enough to raise a family problems would be largely gone.Self- righteous comments above are about symptoms not causes."You may be right, but I think more jobs would only be a partia... | |
| Anyone use solar power? "03-28-15: BrownsfanZd, surely all natural,organic,sustainable electrons must have a sonic advantage. How can you not see this?"Because you need to use audiophile grade electrons. You can't just throw any type of electrons into your system if you ... | |
| Paragon Model 12 A against Audio Research SP-8/10 No. But I remember exactly how it sounded. Very dull and lifeless. If this is about getting something to fit a budget and not about buying vintage gear because you are a collector, I highly recommend you consider an passive preamp. There's no reas... | |
| Matching Speakers to Components "I'd hardly say reviews are worthless as long as you see the majority describing a certain product uniformly. That is a good indicator that certain attributes of the product are indeed present. But I agree that it can be used only as a gauge and u... | |
| downloading music versus cd `s quality "I have been reading a lot about quality of digital music, and the question is: can I transfer all my cd~ to my Mac, then upgrade the sound quality on the Mac , via a software program"Yes. If done right, the CD's you rip should sound just as good ... | |

| Matching Speakers to Components "Based upon reviews I've read I have narrowed down my field of speaker choices to the Wharfedale Diamond 220 which is a neutral speaker. Wharfedale Denton's which are warm. NHT Absolute One 2.1 which is neutral to a bit warm. Magnapan MMG which wa... | |
| Paragon Model 12 A against Audio Research SP-8/10 I had the Paragon and wasn't all that impressed with it. You can make a case for buying a vintage tube amp, but I'm not so sure about a preamp. Newer preamps are a lot better than old ones. I would just get something current. | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth "The Adagio's measure extremely well with low distortion so it is very hard to imagine it is the speakers introducing something undesirable."It's not so much that the speakers are introducing something undesirable, its what they're not doing. For ... | |
| Anyone use solar power? "03-27-15: TerrybbagitI am using solar and don't notice any difference in the sound when its running on the solar or on the grid."That's because you didn't get audiophile grade solar panels, along with some high end power cords to run from the pan... | |
| Is my preamp useless? "03-27-15: MilpaiZd542, don't feel offended just because you have not listed your system here.But I found this statement funny :-) Most of the stuff I recommend, I don't even own. "No one likes a good laugh better than me. No offence at all. Just ... | |

| integrated watts or amp watts Also keep in mind that no 2 companies rate power the same way. If you took a bunch of amps all rated at the same amount of power and measured them all the same way, there's almost a 0 chance that 2 or more would put out the same amount of power. S... | |
| Can't get Acoustic Zen Adagios to sound smooth There's a good chance its the recordings like everyone else is saying. I would also try it with the stock cord. Just put it back in and leave it for a few weeks. Don't be too quick to judge it. | |
| Yamaha R-S700 2 Channel Stereo Receiver "I too have the Yamaha R-S700 Stereo Receiver. I am using B&W CM5-S2 Speakers with sub-woofer, a Denon 5 CD changer and Yamaha YDS-12 iPod Dock with iPod Nano.I think the receiver sounds quite good, but perhaps a little "bright" for my tastes.... |
