| Are you too old to be an audiophile? Hope not. I'll keep trying to be one at 56. | |
| are audiophiles different than non audiophiles ? i have been curious as to what determines one's interest in equipment, sound and music. Many times, what determines an interest in any endeavor centers around an individual's exposure at an early and impressionable age. I remember many years ago h... | |
| Idol 2011 Females historically do most of the voting? My thought has been that the largest AI voter demographic is girls and young women. Therefore women contestants will sometimes be at a disadvantage in surviving these votes, and males (the opposite sex) ... | |
| Is Upgrading Degrading? or are we just experiencing different wonderful systems with personalities as varied and unique as human beings are? Marburg 04-08-11 That's just not a realistic point of view, at least not for me. When my system is "wonderful," I'll be happy and ... | |
| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? I agree Larry, that VAC does not come up in discussion here often these days. It used to. Kind of like "the flavor of the month" phenomenon that we see here. I've always wanted one of their preamps but they were typically out of reach monetarily. | |

| Plinius 9200 and The new Nola Contender I see these speakers retail for $3400. I use to own the 9200, a very fine integrated. Is it worth it to you to make a weekend of it and travel to this dealer? It's not unheard of, but may be impractical. | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... I agree Larry, nicely done. | |
| Do Mono Block amps provide better sound ?? It can go either way depending on many variables. | |
| Manufacurers I have known.... Do you know Andrew Welker, speaker designer, formerly of the now defunct Mirage? I don't think he falls in the "legends" category, but his speaker is very good and an awesome value. imo (I have their last and arguably best speaker the OMD-28). | |
| Good CD Player under $800.00 used Jolida JD 100/ Underwood Level 1 Mod | |
| Plinius 9200 and The new Nola Contender Agree all the way with Cmalak. By all means, take your 9200 and (your source) to the dealer and connect them to the speakers. This is better than nothing. | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Phaelon, " maybe Jim Nabors" that's priceless. | |
| Band with highest success/talent ratio? Too many to name but I agree about the Jonas Brothers. I have a 7 year old or I would not know who they are. They are w/o talent. |
