Kids, Dogs, and Speakers No joking but how about the idea of large bubble wrap covers that you could slip onto the speakers when not in use. If the cat took a liking to them (scratching), the breaking bubbles would be a deterrent. The kids would have to be taught to stay ... | |
Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question Two things; You are not annoying! This forum belongs to all who play by the rules. Secondly, CD and SACD players are now a buyers marketplace as not so many people want them as they once did. A DAC that used to sell for $6000.00 I think just sold ... | |
20 Years? Times fun when you're having flies! I joined early on. Before that it was the newsgroups and another site I can't remember the name of. Before that it was classified ads in Stereophile and two different bulletins that used to get mailed monthly. O... | |
Starting a Classical Vinyl Music Collection If you go to thrift shops, Readers Digest has made some compilation sets that are highly regarded. If you're lucky, you will find some sets un played. | |
Help with speaker selection How about the Paradigm Persona 9H? I heard them at Capital Audio Fest. Are you buying new or used? I see a pair of these out there for $19.000.00 End game speakers! | |
Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? For me I need to get any piece of gear home before I really know if I like it or not. Demoing gear is frustrating. Just like buying tickets for a Broadway show six months in advance frequently I'm not in the mood come showtime! The best thing in t... | |
another rookie question - preamp or or power amp You'll never regret having the best preamp you can afford. If you aren't passing the best signal though a decent preamp the best amp in the world won't do you any good. I've found amps that were better than I though all because I'm using a PS Audi... | |
Martin Logan vs. Everything The only answer to the dilemma of "what's best" is to have at least three main systems! Now that I'm single again, that's the goal. I have a hard time going to audio shows let alone an Audio Salon. I need to get it home and listen when I'm in the ... | |
The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! The Magico S3's are on my dream list. I thought they stole the show. | |
"The Ultra High-End Speaker." Thee most magical sound I've ever heard coming from any speaker was from a set of Snell Type B's It has yet to be bested. Joe | |
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I sure miss my Snell Type A V5's. They had the 18 inch woofers. They had impact when needed. I 'll be at the CAF looking for something to compete with what they offered in a slightly smaller footprint. | |
Anyone else suffering with Qobuz tonight Never an issue for people like myself who decided to stick with physical media. My Cd's and albums are never down! | |
Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts Most of these arrogant people wouldn't have the guts to say the same thing to your face! | |
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? I own a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll. I may sell depending on how my divorce goes. Joe | |
Integrated Question I had the Modwright 225i. It had a nice midrange sound but NO bass to speak of. I had to crank it up to 80% volume to get anything out of it. The speakers were Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark 2. MAYBE I could have kept experimenting with different spe... |
