| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? geofkait - sorry i missed your mentionslaw - rock & roll has many genres, perhaps you should be more specific to how you define rock & roll. it seems like you are stuck in your generation of rock - 'classic'. | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? I'm surprised no one mentioned Nirvana. They only had 3 full length studio albums, but influenced a generation and numerous bands. They have sold over 75 million albums world wide. | |

| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat 16 mats is a tad less than 10,000 dollars. Probably a hard question to answer but what is the optimal number based on cost, probably system dependent. Another way of asking is how did you come up with the number of mats to order. What should so... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? To be clear, take retail price of a very expensive components and put them together with out much thought vs. buying equipment that is great value, get it used and then spend time researching and experimenting to make sure the components have syn... | |
| Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid? Some times I wish I hadn't heard a great sounding system because it makes me a bit too critical listening to other systems, in particular my own.

| My experience after lost of 20k$ I can't help but reply - I recently heard the Mach III by Phasure, a PC streaming audio to a DAC. Absolutely stunning in sound. The inventor has made many tweaks to what a standard PC is - linear power supply, no fans, no video card, removable h... | |

| Bybee Audio tweeks. IQSE geoffkatt, i had to laugh at your reply, 'most things don't last 10 years' - hmm, you must buy some pretty crappy stuff. my speakers, amp, preamp and DAC has all lasted over 10 years. Of course that is assuming the battery last 10 years which is... | |
| Bybee Audio tweeks. IQSE I was about to buy them when I read this thread. It doesn't matter to me whether you categorize them as 'active' or 'passive', the real issue is the poor design. If you are going sell a device where the effectiveness will degrade over time, you ... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status Devilboy,I've seen Rodrigo Y Gabriela in concert twice. Their 'Live in Japan' CD is spectacular. With the MPC mods I could more easily visualize the guitar playing. This essentially the effect of when I say 'more space' and '3D'.I'm hesitant to sa... | |
| Modding Synergistic Research MPC to Galileo status I just had three MPC's upgraded by Michael. The service was top notch. As people have already mentioned I can hear more decay in instruments and space around them. The music is more 3 dimensional than before. CDs that are well recorded and have a ... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... An interesting tidbit - I brought over my 'audiophile' power cords and interconnects to a friends house who had a system composed of equipment you could get at a typical electronics chain (e.g. BestBuy) and we could barely discern any sound qualit... | |
| Which used preamp for Halo A21, under $1,000? I have the Halo A21 as well. After going through several preamps I settled on the TRL Dude. A lot of information about the Dude in Audiogon's forums. | |
