Personal turntable/cartridge evolution
As a teenager in the '70s (don't you love "That '70s Show"?) I had a nice Pioneer I received as a gift from a family friend.1985 The AR turntable with Shure VR15 cartridge1989 Sota Saphire, Alphason Xenon, AT OC9 cartridge2003 Micro Seiki RX-1500,... 
Who is the best classical pianist alive?
Echo Schipo - they each bring unique talents to the piano. Another to add to your list is Jauna Zayas. Her interpretation of Chopin is beautiful. 
THE POINT SYSTEM OF WAF.
Absolutely hilarious! I laughed so loud, my girlfriend kept asking what's so funny. Great post!Scott 
Myth: low-power high-efficiency
Amandarae - I like your creative thinking! Never considered the listener's age as a factor here. Since I'm over 40 (although not much), I can only interpret from your post that I'm young at heart :-) And you, too! Thanks for making my day.Scott 
Myth: low-power high-efficiency
Howard, thanks for sharing Terry's thoughts. Although I was a little confused about the subject, audio or life partners. Perhaps his sage advice applies to both!Ejlif, Eldartford, Lacee and Beavis - thanks for your input. If I understand correctly... 
Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?
Howard, that's a hilarious story! Who was that guy? :-) And I wonder how the Mcintosh will work in his system. And will his audio friends ostracize him when they learn he is using Mcintosh? I really want to know the answers to these burning questi... 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Khrys - if you mean sophist in the modern, derogatory sense, ok. But most posts are not even worthy of sophistry, they are simply naive and sophomoric. How is the Steinway? I never tire of mine. Scott(a cretinous audiofool) 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Never felt closer to a man I've never met. Rest peacefully, friend. 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Nilthepill - the quote in my thread is from Amperidian, not mine. If you want education, may I suggest that this forum is the last place on earth to find answers. Just skim the sophomoric posts :-) On the other hand, it is great entertainment! 
A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx
Amperidian - "I'm not a Wilson Audio owner or fan, but their speakers are among the few cone designs that can match horns in the frequencies where the horns excell. Not perfect of course, but they deserve some credit at least."This is so funny! Wi... 
Tri-Amping/Active Crossovers for Edgarhorn
Drdna - do you already have your Titan's set up? If so, what specifically do you want to improve? Using two or three amps still requires some type of crossover. So this will not "eliminate the colorations involved with the passive crossover networ... 
When do you know when you're done?
For me, being done is about both the music and the system. I think the music part is self-evident. It is the reason I got involved in audio in the first place. On the system side, coming to terms with this question was much more challenging. There... 
When do you know when you're done?
Rwjp, thanks for the kind words. Your system must sound wonderful, too. I hope that you find the amps you're looking for. I would love to hear the Tannoys. Nice!Scott 
Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?
As the Brits say, different horses for different courses. Based on my experience, a good horn speaker gets me closer to the experience of a live music event than other type of speaker. Given that speakers are typically the largest source of distor... 
Museatex Bitstream vs Bidat
Lush, find Alex Yakovlev here. He is a digital engineer, owns both modified and unmodified Bidats and Bitstreams and would be a good person to speak with, if you still have questions. He told me that there is no comparison stock (bidat is clearly ...
