| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier Very informative. Thanks. I think lurking is good. I should have done more of that.FWIW, it seems to me no doubt that your experience supports the ground loop theory. I'm sure Steve Nugent from Empirical Audio would have a comment. He probably doe... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? In regard to standards of quality, mid-fi and hi-fi have improved since I discovered audio in the early 80's (except for speakers). So I'd have to say standards aren't lower. We tend to get more fidelity for the money.I'm ready to get hammered on ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Neither is the high end bug contagious. While many have found themselves in my listening room and some have made small improvements in their own systems, none have been willing to sell his/her soul for the endorphins.I'm waiting for the chance enc... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Where are you, big bad wolf? Are you listening to a live recording of Big Love and the following track on The Dance Landslide by the most underrated guitarist of his generation which features only Lindsey and his guitar and then Stevie and Lindsey... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? BTW, I think the comment on the ipod is incorrect. I think it is capable high quality audio, but most (many) people don't know it. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Really like this forum except Wolf putting me down. Glad to hear there is still creativity out there. I don't have time to find it. Would sure like to hear it on the top 40. Putting down my Fleetwood Mac?!! Now there's high end snobbery and fighti... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I would echo the remarks of Response 34. Talent has run out or is in hiding in pop music. Compare today's artists with Paul Simon, Chicago, Stevie Wonder, Fleetwood Mac. As a youth, why would I build a quality system to listen to Katie Perry? The ... | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier I'm just responding because no one else has. This anomaly hasn't happened with my system. And I'm techno challenged.The "full volume" experience sounds scarey in terms of the damage it could cause. I don't know if I mentioned here that the LED's i... | |
| Advantages of monoblocks Looked up a review of the LSA Statement which said "it's about as close to mono blocks as you can get in one chassis". So what are you missing? Virtually nothing. | |
| Advantages of monoblocks Yes in the sense that your crosstalk is zero. | |
| Advantages of monoblocks Biamping mono's worked the best for me, too--dual monos x 2. Also mono'd pre's with this system. I think if you mono the pre's you don't have the output impedence issue. I just used two identical stereo pre's but used one pre for each channel.Of c... | |
| Advantages of monoblocks Channel separation with dual mono is a real treat. Goes to comment by Noromance. | |
| Review: Harman Kardon HK990 Amplifier Cool. Good info. | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Thanks much, Martykl. I'm waiting for the reincarnation of Terry Kath. Will pursue your lead.I'll throw in The Doors LA Woman. SQ isn't too bad. They kept the recording simple back then. Not so hashed. | |
| Album which you have listened to most? Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago's first album. Terry Kath, guitarist, is the best I've ever heard. |
