| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? True, there's tire kickers of all ages really. But, I am still curious to know if the 20 and 30 somethings are actually buying the equipment, or are just aspiring to. If they're not, that doesn't help the industry too much. Another argument is, ju... | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? Thanks for that, Ozzy. Keep up the good work! | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Thanks! My original looks to be a first pressing. It has the Crowley messages and the mastering info in the dead wax. Plus, it has the old Atlantic address on Broadway printed on the label. It was pressed by Monarch to boot. Anyway, the new reissu... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge haha good one! | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 I read the reviews, but I went and bought 'III' anyway based on what I heard at HDTracks and Spotify. I like it better than my original. I am very surprised at this, really. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? That's really cool, Jafox. But how many of these people in their 20s and 30s are just looking at the equipment instead of buying? That's the $64000 question! | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Labtech, I no longer read 'The Audio Critic.' It's very hardcore objectivism, and it's not fair and balanced. Same old crap; "all amps sound the same," "a wire hanger is good enough for cabling," and "measurements tell the whole story." Maybe you ... | |
| What preamp between Burmester and Krell? I have yet to hear anything by Burmester, but I look forward in doing so. From what I've heard and read, it is head and shoulders above Krell, Levinson, etc. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I like many hear am a sucker for good sound, so I find high end audio interesting. What better way to waste time than talking about what is high end or not. :^)I do too! I've been into high end audio since the mid 80s when I was a teenager. Sure, ... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? I see your point Frogman, thanks for that. I basically agree with it as well. | |
| The Emotiva Challenge It's ALWAYS been a direct correlation to sound quality.*sigh* You know, I used to be an objectivist. I read 'The Audio Critic' with a zeal, and felt the same way you do.Anyway, that's hogwash. Measurements are important, but they only tell part of... | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? Kids today don't want to fuss and fight over mm or mc or this power cord or that philosophy how to achieve the best sound i.e. tubes or s.s.Meaning what? | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Many Emotiva buyers have a tendency to believe everything is snake oil after a certain price point without having any validation.Exactly. | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Yeah, Labtec, cool your jets there. And sure, there's *some* high priced stuff that isn't much better than Emotiva...that's the stuff I stay away from, personally.I agree with Dayglow in that measurements are not a direct correlation to sound qual... | |
| Pass Labs Amp X350.5 or X350.8 anyone compare? Dave 72, First impression. Pretty good...Deeper soundstage, better bass and treble. Even at this early stage, I'm sure its a keeper.Thanks for that, Ozzy, it definitely helps me out. I look forward to your full review... |
