| Are modern speakers better than old speakers? More often than not, modern speakers look better than old speakers. | |
| Best HDCD cd's ? Many really good HDCD's on the Reference Recordings label. | |
| B&K St-202 vs St0202+ plus Bdgregory, thanks for the correction! It does appear as though the plus versions offer a greater percentage of power increase into lower impedances. | |
| B&K St-202 vs St0202+ plus Plus versions are supposed to be high current, better capable of dealing with low impedance loads. | |
| Projectors? Be patient. Prices are dropping rapidly. What used to cost $25K 5 years ago, can now be had for $2K. Be patient, I suspect the rate of price falls to continue, with even better picture quality, better reliability, easier maintance and set up. That... | |
| What do you do when you listen to music? Just listen. | |
| Could use some help with a tough match FYI (and to the best of my knowledge), the earlier single ended Threshold amps are cap coupled. The later e series fully balanced Threshold amps are DC coupled. Some earler Threshold amps were upgraded to "e" series with balanced inputs, but are s... | |
| Could use some help with a tough match Though I have no first hand expereince with them; Audio Research and Sonic Frontiers are reputed to work well with Threshold. Again, I don't have first hand experience, but, I suspect some lower impedance output conrad-johnson pre's would work, an... | |
| Projectors? For that kind of money you'll probably be looking at 720p. You might want to stay away from used, as the bulbs may have worn and are expensive considering your budget, dust build up and alignment issues may be a concern. Throw distance, ambient li... | |
| How Do You Organize Your Music? I organize my CD's alaphabeticly by artist, then by chronological release. Most classical is by first titled composer. Most popular music by performer, unless it's an homage or tribute to sole composer(s), then it's by composer(s). | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Besides more ultimate power, many larger (compared to their lower powered siblings) class A/AB amps will provide more Class A power before sliding into Class AB. | |
| Where's the best place for used audio gear in NYC? Wow, I have lived most of life in NYC, and though the details differ, Mezmo summed it up just about perfectly. | |
| worse entertainer or performer of all time?? My idea of torture would be to expose someone in an inescapable situation to an endless loop of Barry Manilow. Also worthy of consideration; all those (there sure seems to be a lot of them) flat female Brazilian Jazz singers, Chet Baker, Cindy Lau... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? Mapman, Have your read all the other posts on this thread?Other than the driver/cabinet orientation, the current OHM's are not very much like the Walsh OHM's. Contrary to OHM's marketing jargon or not, by audiophile standards* the current OHMs are... | |
| Ohm Speakers, thoughts? To my way of thinking comparing old Ohms with Walsh drivers to new Ohms with pistonic drivers, is something akin to comparing dynamic planars to electostatics. They may look similar and they may share some dispersion qualites, but they are still v... |
