| The End Of Big Iron? I had a Class D amp. I didn't care for it and it ran out of gas early and overheated. To be fair, it was a mass produced Onkyo, and it's probably not the ultimate in Class D design. Right now, I have an A/B amp; the sound is good, but not phenomen... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl That's nothing compared to this company called Interpunk. I bought the Sex Pistols reissues from them, and they were clearly warped to Hell. I then reordered thinking I would get new ones. Wrong. These cretins sent me back the same goddamn ones ba... | |
| The End Of Big Iron? I'm into monster Class A amps instead of A/B; Accuphase, Pass Labs, etc. Class A just sounds better. :D | |
| Phase Linear 700 & 400 series II That's fine. But, you're qualifying the PLs as something great, and the reality is, they're just ok, imo. And the McIntosh model I was referring to was the MC2300. Anyway, we agree to disagree. I'm tired of arguing about this, thanks. | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? I auditioned the Divas with Krell stuff back in '88, it was one of the best auditions I have had to date. Which leads me to believe that audio hasn't really progressed all that much since that time. Anyway, I picked up a pair of Stages a little wh... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? However, I have no idea what the sound recording engineer actually recorded or how that person intended the recording to sound. So, I am using my judgement in listening to the recordings. But, it would be interesting to have the acutal recording ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Dave_72 you already know about expensive mistakes, I have made a few mistakes myself, not anymore. I have a problem giving advice to anyone who has just entered this hobby and what to recommend because it will take a few years of trial and error t... | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? Thanks again, Ozzy. So I take it a long break in time is key to success. My current speakers (JBL S4700s) were like that; they were dreadful out of the box, and now they really rock the house. However, it took at least 200 hours of break in to eve... | |
| Pro-Ject turntables No more than $6k, really. By the way, I forgot about the VPI Classic 3. That's another 1 I'm currently looking at. | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? Ok, thanks guys, I was worried there for a bit, lol. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? ...and expensive mistakes have been made. I am guilty of that too. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? At best I'm trying to recreate the sound in the mastering studio which may or may not have a basis in real time musician performing.I would agree with that. However, to get the sound of the master tape, you need the master tape. Everything else is... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Just 3? I could go on for days with a list. Here are my hard rock/metal choices.Mötley CrüeKissDef Leppard | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? Hmmm...I'll have to say I don't like a subdued upper midrange and treble. If that's the case with these .8 amps, I'm no longer interested in them. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? You make the analogy of seeking ever greater audio realism with a drug users endlessly chasing a better high. There's a great deal of truth in that analogy I think.I think so too. Having never used drugs, although I have abused alcohol in the past... |
