| High End Validation ''I am not forgetting. I am criticising your behaviour'' - MetrallaLooking back on many of your previous ''contributions'' you seem to have a certain pattern of criticizing behaviours which seem to you more important than discussing actual audioph... | |
| High End Validation Metralla: If you read the thread correctly, you will notice that I did leave a posting saying that I did enjoy Mihalis' contribution and that he seemed very experienced. I never went over the line anymore than what the original posting suggested t... | |
| High End Validation ''So, the pizza delivery guy's comment today was validation that I had achieved the goal in some small measure.''No offence, but what sounds real to the pizza guy (or anyone else for that matter) is so subjective that it might have sounded ''real'... | |
| Speakers for a large room for around $1000 I suggest you give the Polk LSi 15 a try. A truly fantastic speaker for less than 1K (used) and will compete with many up to 3K. It's a no-brainer, read up on it.Good luck. | |

| Help buying a television LG 55 LH-90 series - get the biggest screen you can afford. This TV is an ACL with LED backlighting,(probably the cheapest LED screen on the market too even the review says its expensive) meaning it illuminates incredibly well and uses almost no e... | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? Jadis DA 88 ? I have owned a truckload of amps, the Jadis DA 88 being one of them. Kept it all of 3 weeks, unfortunately it was one of my worst price versus quality unit purchase. Ok sound but not great. You would think that given the asking price... | |

Now, maybe you think the ipod is also a toy?The PS3... | |
| Best System for Pink Floyd Best listening sessions EVER of this legendary recording? Get the very best headphones and amplification you can afford. The genius of this music is in the mix and little bits and bytes of sprinkled detail all over the recording. Try it with cans ... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett I know this is completely in a different direction - but watching Jarret play ( and he IS good), man, do I miss the late great Oscar Peterson. Untouchable. | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? Orpheus10. What is a ''genuine'' audiophile according to you? | |
| Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ? Frazeur1: As I have been (like many others) in this hobby for probably far too long, I of course know about the ''listen-with-you-own-ears-and-decide'' strategy.This upcoming amp is for a second system, but I still want a minimum of quality. Your ... | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Its well-made music, and well-performed too.Just like Hank Williams, or Queen, or Duke Ellington.The TYPE of music is very subjective of course, but usually, in every fashion of music, there's well-done music, and there are wannabe-pros.I don't th... | |
| Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ? One thing about the Cambridge 840A series integrated is that awfull ratchet clicking sound when using the volume control. Went to a dealer for a demo, just could not get my approval. | |
