| Recommended recording Sd - I've taken many of your recommendations as well. Thanks. I read about this CD in Stereophile and it sounded great. But, I'll buy it now for sure. | |
| Not happy yet My vote: replace the CD player and improve the room environment - forget about the cables and power cords (you've got bigger fish to fry!).First, the CD player. You don't have to spend thousands of dollars here. There are a host of really good pla... | |
| Any DIYer s out there ? Sean, my primary DIY project is being a single parent to my two young kids. However, when time permits, I'm working on an extensive room acoustics project (one of the advantages of being divorced is that I now control the remote and the room it's ... | |
| Anyone has Marsh amp ? Ryllau, I've got a Marsh 400 and I love it. I can't speak to the Odyssey, although it sounds like a good deal. But, I do love the transparency and neutrality of the Marsh. I'd stack it up against some very expensive gear - I have, and it sounded g... | |
| TACT RCS 2.0 Users Group Guys, great post and feedback! I've been considering buying a TacT and this is great information. Thanks! | |
| Will Internet Distroy High End ? Audionut, I'd watch out. I've heard this type of confidence from many of my customers and watched them go down in flames.First, I don't believe the internet will destroy hi-end. Where ever there is money (perhaps too much) and passion there will b... | |
| Best speaker in nearfield listening I've got a pair of Harbeth 7ES's and they are terrific at nearfield listening. I don't think they will "seem" as airy as an electrostat - if you want this try the Red Rose, the ribbon tweater is great. But, I find the Harbeths very accurate and se... | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? Like most of the posts above, I have a general skepticism of these magazines. With that said, I think some are better (TAS) than others. For me, though, the key is finding reviewers with like-minded ears and sensibilities as you (I can't relate to... | |
| Three best speakers for my budget. Supakit, have you considered the Red Rose R2's (or maybe it's just 2's)? They are less expensive than your target ($3,500), but they are very life-like without being as bright as the B&W's. Also, you might want to consider the Harbeth Monitor ... | |
| Spendor S3/5 that good? I like the Spendor S3/5's. They are very musical and "sexy" sounding. Like some of the other BBC speakers, they are terrific for female vocalists. They won't push a lot of air like some speakers and they don't over-articulate the music (so it may ... | |
| Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers? I thought that one of the advantages of these user-groups was avoiding our domestic reality. I've got two kids, and your much further on the curve than me (my are 6 and 4 - love them lots, but woooo). So, let's not confuse reality with our passion. | |
| Positioning and Listening distance Hiflyer,How did you treat the wall behind your speakers? Sounds like we have similar issues.By the way, you might consider auditioning a BBC speaker like the Spendor or Harbeths. They were designed for nearfield listening, and they are very good i... | |
| Best DIY Sound Dampening Materials? Tom nice,Thanks! I'll definitely get those two books. From my perspective, this is a relatively low cost way to signficantly improve my sound quality. I'm surprised more people don't manage this side of their listening experience. I'll email you f... | |
| What is your OTHER passion? Sorry, I've got to stop drinking so much caffeine in the morning. What I meant to say was spending time with my girlfriend. | |
| What is your OTHER passion? Food, wine & sex. |
