| How Black is Your Background? I think it gets blacker as I age and my hearing deteriorates. Free upgrade!Really though my background is only as black as the ambient noise of the aquarium between my speakers allows. The noise could be measured but could also be subjective since... | |
| Supertramp In 1979 we lived in a cabin in the Santa Cruz mountains. One day we were blasting Goodbye Stranger as loud as the Sanyo receiver could drive the Advents. It sounded great. My nearest neighbor was far away but after the song ended he shouted down t... | |
| Upscale audio advice This certainly sounds like confusion over SE version vs. non SE. One of the things I like about my VK300xSE is that I like the sound of the tubes but I don't have to fret over which ones to run because there aren't a lot of options. I doubt that K... | |
| Speaker mash up ? I had a bud who ran a pair of pre outs to two different amps hooked up to two different pairs of speakers and all playing at the same time. All mid-fi mass produced stuff. I'll tell you what- there was nothing missing! Okay so it could definitely ... | |
| Road Trip Buconero117,While I doubt that vacationers are having a big effect on B&M stores' success compared to all of their other challenges, I do agree that if a person has no intention of buying it would be rude to waste much if any of a dealer's tim... | |
| Last Chance Texaco. Front row last night. Nice to hear from other Rickie fans. She's an original that's for sure. Like on her three disc Dutchess of Coolsville anthology-the first two discs have the songs arranged in alphabetical order. Why? I dunno, I guess you'd have to ask her. I like ... | |
| has anyone had problems with wadia service? Good thing we have many choices available. Vote with your dollars! | |
| has anyone had problems with wadia service? Paperw8,Did I say I didn't like it? I DID like the sound, the look, features, built-in headphone amp, even the brand name. Two things I didn't like: it clearly did not function as designed and the Wadia guy said so, and no response after two weeks... | |
| has anyone had problems with wadia service? They should have handled their move better and had a plan to take care of their customers. I bought a 121 that didn't work properly in my system a couple weeks ago. Called and didn't get a response to a VM in 24 hrs. Since I read about their commu... | |
| Wadia 121 Dedoding Computer? I had a 121 for a week. It had good sound quality but I didn't keep it long enough to go into detail, but detail was a strong suit. I bought it to use as an external DAC to use with my aging Arcam CD33 player. The problem was the DAC's relays clic... | |
| Vote for best speaker value under 5K$ Sometimes you don't know what you're looking for until you find it. For me in my room it is Acoustic Zen Adagios. I went through a bunch of highly rated and similarly priced speakers looking for the right ones. Took a chance on the Adagios and as ... | |
| Laying it on the line A lot of talk about pricks and peckers. | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put What else could you do if you were too tired of the equipment-go-round to shop for your own system but you needed a new one? I suppose you could ask your friends for advice but I doubt they'd be any less biased than a dealer, and I'm pretty sure t... | |
| Would you trust a local dealer to help you put I actually would trust a couple of local dealers that I'm familiar with. I do agree with Elizabeth about strangers, though. My local dealers are not strangers to me and I already know them to be "good". I would have no qualms sending someone to on... | |
| Scaling down I've had a blast downsizing. My wife decided we needed to move to a smaller house near the beach so I was forced to downsize. After moving from the big room almost five years ago I went through three integrated amps and three sets of speakers befo... |
