| Is audio a kind of spiritual journey? Why Elizabeth, I think you've stumbled onto something without intending to.:-)fetish:1) an inanimate object worshiped for its supposed magical powers or because it is considered inhabited by a spirit.2) a course of action to which one has an exces... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Amazing just how short it takes to go into the weeds. And flounder there. Hopefully, this thread will have a short life.Personally, I've found that there is a difference but the differences pale in comparison to the price the higher up you go.Tobb... | |
| For the sound, or????? I still have the Classic 6.1 from Pacific Valve sitting on a shelf somewhere. Not a bad unit at all but not quite as good as my Burson PI-160. In the right system (speakers with a dome, or textile tweeter) it would sound quite nice. HiFI tuning fu... | |
| What is your take on Mapleshade products John, Sorry I missed your post and that it took so long to get back to you. After experimenting with the power strip in and out of the loop, I found that the CDP sounded slightly better directly into the wall.If I had to use it to satisfy the need... | |
| Is audio a kind of spiritual journey? "The Church of Audiology" LOL.The hobby itself is nothing more than that, a hobby. However, as one furthers themselves in it, beliefs take on a dogmatic vein that borders on religion. One need look no further than here to realize just how we corru... | |
| For the sound, or????? I've not heard the Bada but was interested in it as well. They are one of the good makes out of China and it's their second version, made to Pacific Valves specs and said to be a much better version.If you haven't gotten it yet, you might also che... | |
| First favorite tune "Autumn Leaves" by Nat King Cole. I liked music before hearing it but that song really grabbed me. I just sang it over and over.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Has anyone tried the Speaker Match Plus ? If I remember correctly from what I was told, it helps to block out RFI and the like. I was also told that it works about half the time depending on your speaker. It seems if your speakers run a Zobel type crossover, it won't have much affect at a... | |
| Has anyone tried the Speaker Match Plus ? I've tried the Speaker Match and it did nothing more to my system than the old Dakioms I use. It was so close as to be a draw. And I've been taking the Dakioms in and out to see if I really need them anymore since I've changed my cabling back to M... | |
| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life Zot45, you must have been the envy of the neighborhood. I knew this guy at work who was about 10 years my senior and when he was a kid, he and his friends used to watch Steve McQueen work on his cars on his driveway. He even let them sit in them. ... | |
| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life Old is cool. How else could one live so long? | |
| Another audio dealer bites the dust One can't blame the internet for all things, just most things. :-)Consider that any big box store like a Walmart doesn't pay anywhere near the taxes they should as they bargained away that source of revenue for the honor of being there. Also, all ... | |
| Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life Steve McQueen was cool. So was Paul Newman, Grace Kelly, Kim Novak, Cary Grant, Audrey Hepburn and others from that time.Nowadays it's really hard to put the cool label on people as there is so much hype that surrounds them, and hype doesn't go wi... | |
| USING SPEAKER TECHNOLOGY TO KICK OPEN DOORS Plato, I could have sworn I heard angels laughing at that one.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Odyssey Cyclops vs. the Exposure Integrated Amps There's a Electrocomaniet DCI 4 for sale right now, here on A'gon, used for what you're willing to spend.Some nice gear comes up every once in a while at your price point. They're scooped up rather quickly so patience and persevere my friend.All t... |
