| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Plasma; I just spent some time in the high-endaudio.com website. It impressed me as being just one audiophile's opinions and rhetoric-- no more, no less. My own opinions are more valuable to me than his, and that's the way it should be. Cheers. Cr... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? .......re "the gold rush syndrome". A statement like that in a EE mag. probably makes for interesting (but very misguided) reading for the intended audience, but is just so much establishment BS, IMO.While it's true good magazine reviews can be a ... | |
| Are Audiophiles Obsessive Nuts? Plasmatronic; I am nuts too-- and obsessive about this hobby. I'm also much more able, than the quoted EE, to select good sounding hifi gear, IMO. It's obvious that the EE that wrote the article you quote has not taken the time, spent the money, o... | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money Dburdick; your DNA-0.5 went to a good home and may see some up-grading one of these days, and as I've got a 2nd one-- maybe monos. Cheers. Craig | |
| Bi-Wire or Double Run of Single Wire ??? I agree with Dekay. It doesn't matter-- just be sure you get good contact and tight (not over tight) connections. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Digital idiot wants to KNOW: upsampling? Elizabeth; just some search tips: look under 1) over sampling, 2) Pepsi 3) What the heck is resolution Audio. It took me awhile to find a couple of these. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Best Component Ever, for the money McCormack DNA-0.5 amp and Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 pre-amp-- both used of course. | |
| Do your Cables migrate thru your system? Hi Argent; I've pretty much done what you have, and when the ICs, cables, PCs etc get "demoted" far enough, they end up for sale. However at this point, they may be good values for someone else who may repeat this process in their systems. Ergo, g... | |
| Tri-Wire Cables Bwhite; Most Vandersteen speakers (maybe all) are bi-wireable, but not tri-wireable. I did ask R.Vandersteen for a spkr cable recommendation, but he declined, just saying that there are so many and they all sound different.BTW, I ended up with bi-... | |
| Digital idiot wants to KNOW: upsampling? Hi Elizabeth; I suggest you look up the threads 1) "Up and Oversampling", 2) "What the Heck is Resolution Audio" and 3) Take the Pepsi Challenge".These were long rambling threads that contained a lot of heated rhetoric and insults, but the threads... | |
| Tri-Wire Cables Hi Bwhite; some respected high end manufactures, eg R. Vandersteen recommend against mixing different brands of wires in a bi or tri wire setup. The reasons given have to do with differing electronic characteristics of the wires. I have chosen to ... | |
| The Unbelievable Sheila Chandra... Issabre.........it's been awhile-- looks like this is one I'll have to look up. Craig | |
| true 24/96 digital output An excellent post Abstract7. I have a "new and better" understanding of 24/96 output of the Pioneer player. Thanks. Craig | |
| Eva Cassidy Philefreak; I agree with you and Beemer. I now have all of her CDs, but the one that got me started was "Live at Blues Alley", and remains my favorite.I had a thread not too long ago called something like "Music Finds for the Month", and my "finds... | |
| Rate the Audiophile Publications Hi Ozfly; I now like TAS the best. That said, I've auditioned and purchased many components or speakers that are/were Stereophile recommended, and they were all good recommendations with one exception-- which I won't mention.But when you start dea... |
