| Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon? Threads on both forums are prone to take off on sarcastic tangents now and then. Sometimes they are a lot of fun to read.The key is to remember that it is not worthwhile to get upset when a jest strikes you wrong. IMHO.Either that or just don't po... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio Special 25 I like the Rogue Zeus / Magnum 99 amp combination on my Confidence 3's. From the thread Goatwuss referenced, I think some of the reports of 'flabby bass' with tube power and Dyn's is more about not enough power than about tubes. They prefer to be ... | |
| HELP - Electrical / Wiring with new build of home Walkelin - Why do you think copper is better? If you are worried about impedance you can get more mho per $ with aluminum. If you are concerned about safety, that is not a concerned shared by the electrical construction industry (assuming proper t... | |
| Cats and audiophiles I've been told that they help cancel sidewall reflections if you have them stuffed and stack them about halfway between your listening position and speakers. FWIW. | |
| HELP - Electrical / Wiring with new build of home Tin plated copper looks like aluminum & is sometimes used, fwiw.Anyway, aluminum wire at the service entrance to my house, that was landed on properly designed terminals, would not bother me in the least. The small gauge stuff, and connection ... | |
| You might be an audiophile if... When someone asks you what kind of stereo you have it takes twenty minutes to answer | |
| Markering of CD Edges Jax2 - You neglected to point out that the Fred's head prismatic refraction refinement only works in conjunction with digital cables that have been soaked in Kosher Dill pickle juice and then dried at room temperature during a full moon while coil... | |
| What was/is the heaviest weight amp you herd/own I'm thinking that my Rogue Zeus is 200lb ish. | |
| Owners of "Giant Killers"? I like the stock Njoe Tjoeb (sp? 750 ) better than my 2200 list arcam fmj23 cd player and I liked my arcam better than a 5000 list unit. And, I like the acoustic zen hologram speaker cables (1000 list) better than 3 different 3000 ish cables I've ... | |
| BAT's house sound Trcnetmsncom - Hi Tom. Coming back to me with a different perspective on price to performance is fair and appropriate. My guess is that perceived value has a lot to do with how well a product matches our preferences and personal taste. Happy Liste... | |
| BAT's house sound The first two comments are on the money, imho.FWIW, would be interesting to see opinions on how the 55 compares to the 75 and the 75se.My nickle on BAT, fwiw, is that they provide great customer service and a very well built product and are a plea... | |
| Poor man's IC cooker? Agreed with others, oughts to work fine, couple thoughts tho. Twere it I, I'd probably drop the resistors from 100K to the minimum I could get by with without taxing the source and probably have the tuner sitting on a station that played music sim... | |
| What is the future of redbook players? If you mean that they are much much better now, esp. when you look at value with inflation factored in, I agree with you. If you could get something like a music hall mmf7 in 1980 for the same relative dollars, people would have found it a lot mo... | |
| What is your idea of a Perfect Album? The Concert for Bangla Desh succeeds on several different levels. | |
| Ah Njoe Tjoeb vs Marantz dv 9500? FWIW. Another option is to buy the base model Njoe & see how you like it. I broke down and ordered one a few days back & they confirmed that there is not a price penalty for waiting and then going to the upsampling chip down the road if yo... |
