| what is good sound ? 9 out of 10 dentists agree; music that's free from error is a critical part of good aural hygiene. When considering two speakers, always ask a dentist. Marco | |
| what are your most favored recordings ? El Cant Del Sibil La / Jordi Savall & Montserrat Figueras (oh my god, that voice! recorded in a church and really captures that environment)Le Pas du Chat Noir / Anouar Brahem (Haunting. Inovative. I never tire of it)Swordfishtrombone / Tom Wa... | |
| what is good sound ? It doesn't take an expert, or a seasoned concert goer, or an audiophile who changes their amp as frequently as their underpants to be able to judge a stereo system. The convincing illusion of a musical sound, or a human voice does not require some... | |
| what is good sound ? The problem I have with the idea of this question is in the title. The word "good" implies there is a human being making a judgement based on whatever the heck it is you guys decide is appropriate, for instance ('good" and 'bad' do not exist in na... | |
| Sugden A21 AP or Pass Labs Aleph 30? I got an ELS3 for my in-laws non-audiophile system, but also tried it on my own. It's an OK speaker for the money, but I think you can do better on the used market. A pair of Soliloquy SAT 5's would be a better choice IMO for just a bit more money... | |
| what is good sound ? for me, the closer i get to the sound of an instrument in a live setting, the happier i am.Then spend more time listening to live music. You're subject is the reproduction of that music by an artificial means. First off, what music sounds like in ... | |
| what is good sound ? It is most certainly all subjective. The idea of "High-Fidelity", or being 'true' to some objective concept of what the music is "supposed" to sound like is both absurd and contrary to what the enjoyment of music, or any art form, is all about. Mo... | |
| your most memorable component Quicksilver 300B SET prototype mono amps - I'd never known that kind of seductive presence, and dimension where the music becomes almost tactile. Marco | |

| Discovering New Music..... If you like Julie Miller, and I do, DEFINITELY check out Patty Griffin..."Living with Ghosts", "1000 Kisses", the live album "A Kiss in Time" actually has Julie Miller and her husband, Buddy, backing up Patty...Great stuff!Marco | |
| Life is complicated, lets keep it simple. There are several options for a computer 'remote' that utilizes bluetooth. The new MacBooks incorporate them, but I've read their interface is not that good. There are others, perhaps someone else might suggest one. I know there are a few Palm Pil... | |
| Life is complicated, lets keep it simple. At risk of sounding like a broken record (pun intended), go the Apple route most are advising here. I'm not crazy about the wireless Apple Express solution though. I ended up liking the sound of a hard-wired (USB) direct connection, rather than wi... | |
| Klipsch RB-51 vs Epos ELS-3 for a small room? I helped my in-laws out, purchasing and setting up a pair of ELS-3's in a small room. Not bad, but I think you can do better. They don't come up that often, but see if you can find a pair of Soliloquy Sat-5 monitors. I have those in my kitchen and... | |
| Discovering New Music..... Absolutely, try Pandora. It does Amazon one better as long as you have the time to listen. From the list you've shared, here are a few artists/albums that come to mind that you may also enjoy:Damien Rice, "O"Tori Amos, Too many selections to pick ... | |
| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. I do not have any "Absolute Sound" or "Hi-Fi" mags around to compare to but I am sure they would make even more improvement.I have some rare NOS Sears Roebuck catalogues from the 1960's that I was just about to list here on A'gon. Ping me off the ... |
