| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? 07-05-12: Mapman"Nothing" would infer no effects from room acoustics. Is that what a high end stereo system is supposed to sound like? I am not sure about that. How would spatial queues captured in the recording be delivered to the ears accurately... | |
| Parasound A23 I own a Parasound A23. I use it for my center channel both for home theater and for listening to music in Trifield, which is a function of my Meridian G68. The amp for the R/L is a Pass XA30.5. While the A23 isn't quite as sweet as the XA30.5, it ... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? I agree with you Cdc. It should sound like nothing. At the risk of using an inflammatory word, the system should be neutral.IME, the most common obstacle to reaching that elusive goal is the listening room. No matter how good the equipment, if the... | |
| why do we argue? 07-04-12: AlmargObjectivists are frequently mischaracterized as believing that if something isn't measurable, it isn't audible... the phrase "discoverable by science"...does not mean "has been discovered by science."This is a point worth expanding... | |
| Is my Pass amp overheating? Just realized that I never reported back the listening results after installing the aluminum and copper mesh lid that I installed on my Pass amp.As I mentioned in my last post, the mesh lid DECREASED the amount of heat inside the chassis relative ... | |

| why do we argue? As Al has already pointed out, Goodwins article is a transparent case of strawmanning, i.e. misrepresenting your opponent and then attacking that misrepresentation. Goodwins Objectivist is a gross distortion of the views of actual Objectivists... | |
| why do we argue? Lacee and Mapman - Good thoughts, and I thank you for sharing them. The link in my last post was intended to make a simple point, a point I've made on this thread and others: One of the most common causes of arguments is bullying.bc | |

| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? I don't want to be a killjoy, but I think you should consider whether a $1K power cord is the best use of your funds, especially when you consider that your speakers are $3K, your amp is $3K, and your source is $2.5K.To be clear, I'm NOT criticizi... | |
| Best inwall speaker 4000$ pair I own in-wall speakers from Dali and I'm very happy with them. For ~$4k, you could get their Phantom Euphonias. Judging from my experience with various freestanding Dali speakers and from the Dali in-walls I own, I suspect the Phantom Euphonias so... | |
