| Behringer DEQ2496 - worth using in hi-end system? You might want to try using it between transport and DAC. Actually, I know you can't do that, Grant, so use it between transport and preamp. Don't forget to order the microphone. | |
| What are the specs of a full range speaker? I've heard speakers that are rated at +/- whatever from 30-20K that do not *sound* full range to me. They reproduce deep bass but without the *weight* I associate with truly full-range speakers. Perhaps Room Lock and Room Shudder describe that exp... | |
| Zu on Zu People who listened to one cut of an album or less usually didn't get it. Listeners who lingered for a few, usually did.That is certainly believeable. But, earlier you or someone else suggested that it could take weeks or months to "get it". That'... | |
| Audiophile Electrocution Amazing story, armstrod. So you think the shock changed your metabolism? It sounds like it was for the better except for having worn out your thyroid too soon. Hmmm...I'd love to have more energy and could stand to lose a few pounds. Think I'll tr... | |
| Ani Difranco I saw her at the New Orleans Jazzfest a few weeks ago. A great live act...terrific energy. She's almost more poet than songwriter and really lays herself bare in her lyrics. Very powerful and moving to hear live. Her band, including Mr. Sickafoose... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? Take a look at Henryhk's discussion of his Magico audition, which appears in his virtual system. | |
| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Question to Macrojack: Does the 1/5 of MSRP refer to COGS alone? What exactly is included? Before we can declare that his margin is 67% (12k/18K), we need to consider such costs as warranty expense, shipping (not trivial on Wilson speakers), sales... | |
| Zu on Zu Smeyers, did you ever solve your tonal problems with the Zu Tones? | |
| LA Show Report I have often noticed that the rooms that get the press are the ones with the best soundI don't know. First, the statement products are no guarantee of good sound. Audiophile press reports alwasy include several mentions of the modest rooms that go... | |
| Audiophile Electrocution Any long-term effects, tireguy? Run faster? More virile? Able to predict the future? See through doors? | |
| Zu on Zu It took me several weeks to understand the Zu sound, but once I did...kck, can you elaborate on that a bit? Just for the sake of stimulating discussion, let me put this question on the table: If the Zu's sound like music, if they sound "right", wh... | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Mini? I believe they are $20K while the Wilsons are $28K. | |
| LA Show Report The Joseph Audio and Moscode rooms were exceptions to my observation, and there were others. Kudos to them. | |
| LA Show Report Yes, I think manufacturers (and retailers) miss an opportunity at these consumer-oriented shows by playing mostly their top-end gear. The typical configuration has huge monoblocks on the floor connected to multiple sets of gigantic speaker cables ... | |
| Volume and Bass levels at LA HE Show I didn't find all that many rooms playing too loudly (MBL was too loud everytime I went in, however, and I would bet that their speakers will absolutely kill at low volume....so they are missing an opportunity). But I did feel that many rooms soun... |
