| Vote for the best center speaker here IMHO, the best center speaker is no center speaker. | |
| HOW LONG DID YOU HAVE TO WAIT TO GET.... garfish is right. i've been at this 30+ years and have a system most folks would classify in the "dream" range. as for me? i'm about to upgrade my pre/dac and entire analogue frontend. -kelly | |
| How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own? ~2,000 cd's~5,000 lp's 4 dvd-v's (just bought my 1st dvd player and 16:9 dtv in the past 2 weeks).--kelly | |
| avalon ascent to avalon eidolon shubertmaniac: i appreciate your thoughtful post. while i agree that eidolons need high quality electronics, cable and ic's to bring out their best, i think your $100k assessment for a system that includes them is a bit high. even if you bought ev... | |
| Kharma CE1 LE vs Avalon Eidolon if you're really compelled to keep your set amps and have the means to afford speakers in the $20k range, i'd suggest you listen to the tannoy churchill. not quite up to eidolons but you can drive em' with damn near anything and place these monste... | |
| How important... it's true, of course, that any high output amp will drive most subwoofers. the quality of the sound you'll get from your subs will, however, be affected by the quality of the amp you use. it is especially important in choosing an amp for bass/sub-... | |
| The Band remasters i have all the band remasters done thus far (more freebies from my older son). i find them to be very uneven and only slightly better sonically than their original cd counterparts. i was especially dissapointed with "rock of ages." "big pink" seem... | |
| avalon ascent to avalon eidolon i've owned 3 pairs of avalons over the past 10 or 12 years: eclipses, ascents and eidolons. i've also listened extensively to the radian and several other avalon models. before purchasing my eidolons, i did several weeks of critical comparisons be... | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? ADDENDUM: to be complete, i should have added that the system i described in my friend's sound room used tara the zero and the one for cabling and ic's, respectively. -kelly | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? meta: fatherly, eh? well, i'll take that as a compliment. to be honest, i've not played the original (american) rca/bmg lp for some time. i'm in the midst of an analogue frontend revamping, so most of my lp listening over the past few months has b... | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? albert: as always, you've seen the forest, while the rest of us have been lookin' at the trees. how right you are about the centrality of music to all our lives and, more importantly, the way that interest is seen and appreciated by our kids. my s... | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? meta-man: i've bought a handful of simply vinyl releases and have been disappointed with each and every one. just be patient and go only for the proven best. who knows, once i sort thru my lp's, i might find yet another hidden treasure among trini... | |
| VeryOldHeardIt All-SACD Rules-SayethGOD yes, i've heard the same as drubin re: bruce. BTW, it's the same concert set as the one now available on premium cable (which, coincidentally, is the same set i was treated to at the pepsi center, denver). this my push me slightly more towards sac... | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? i have 5 different versions of the trinity sessions that i can lay my hands on, 3 on vinyl and 2 on redbook cd. (i just got my cd's organized a couple of weeks ago; need to get more shelving for the couple of thousand lp's in various boxes scatter... | |
| "Tweaks" vs. Audiophiles you're nearly there, jeff, but not quite. drills and spanners, soldering irons and blow torches are obvious necessities. it's only when you appreciate the need to rent a ditch witch for 48 hours that marks you as a tweaker's tweaker. or so i've he... |
