| R 2 D 4 So many to choose from ..... so I will list some that I have never seen on anyone else's list. Steve Poltz "One Left Shoe" and Mark Lanegan "I'll Take Care Of You" - singer/songwriter/guitarists of exceptional talent - two magical albums. Jessica ... | |
| Black Diamond Cones ADVICE Interesting Mcp1. I find the #3s to roll-off the tops and deep bass if used as a threesome, and the #4s to thin and harden the mids if used as a threesome. But there is no general rule - just what I have found more often than not. I find 2 #4s and... | |
| Black Diamond Cones ADVICE Drumsgreg, I doubt that we are really disagreeing. I was making the point that any seemingly beneficial vibration control device can become detrimental if over-applied. In the case of the Walker Valid Points - I reckon they are great and use them ... | |
| Are subwoofers worth the trouble? The REL Strata is very easy to dial in, so is probably an excellent way to go if you do not have experience in setting one up. Problems usually arise when you run the subwoofer level too high because of the "if I paid good money for it, I want to ... | |
| Black Diamond Cones ADVICE I don't think you made a mistake David99. There is nothing that is perfect in the vibration control arena. And no single product does it all. Location, under-floor support, rack material/structural integrity/damping, shelf material/thickness, etc.... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... I just caught up with the Carl-bashing - sorry I missed the fun. I don't want to be like Carl, but it does not stop me beginning to like the guy. I certainly enjoy Carl's posts and usually look for them and enjoy them. He does resort to rudeness w... | |
| Sound stage To me the common emphasis on soundstage highlights one of the conundrums we face in audio. Do we seek to improve our systems down a path where at each step we find ourselves enjoying the music more and more? Or do we choose a path that takes us cl... | |
| plinius 8150 vs goldmund sri2 It must depend on what system you put them in, of course. For me the Goldmund is more true to life. The Plinius is like having a warm blanket thrown around you. This can be a good thing in a cold, bright system, and if the overall result is neutra... | |
| Black Diamond Cones ADVICE I have tried BDR cones reasonably extensively. For me, cones are a final touch. If there is significant resonance getting through your rack to the cones, then what happens is you get to hear the resonant frequency of the cones - which can trick yo... | |
| Whats type of digital cable is better? Personally I prefer the AT&T (or even better, the S type glass). By comparison the coax and balanced connections sound dirty (but one man's dirt may be another's ambience). Certainly, AT&T enjoys far greater bandwidth than coax and XLR and... | |
| SACD players. Owner progress report I, for one, am sceptical that Sony is interested in anything more than ensuring DVD-Audio is a failure - simply because they lose their royalty stream from the CD technology if DVD-Audio succeeds. If Sony manages to despatch DVD-Audio early on, th... | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Notwithstanding all the rubbish out there, I am in complete agreement that Bose deserve this title, regardless of which of their products you select, not only for their products but also for their miseducation of so many music lovers - who now bel... | |
| 2 channel high end disscussion I agree. Audio Review is a waste of time as it is full of people that put down products they have never heard, on the basis of seeing the spec sheets. I have no such problem with those who are new to audio that have open minds and are prepared to ... | |
| What are monoblock amps? Oops! I seem to have posted while someone was making the exact same points - apologies for the repetition. | |
| What are monoblock amps? Instead of being stereo amps, a monoblock only amplifies one channel. That is, you need two of them in order to drive a stereo pair of speakers. While this may seem like taking the concept of separates to an absurd limit, there are benefits to be ... |
