| Am I in the minority? I found it funny that as you described not wanting to listen to music via the computer nearly as much as versus the CD player, I was thinking to myself that I feel the same way about listening to my CD player versus my turntable. (And then wrote t... | |
| What speakers have best bass for hip hop, and rock Hey Chas68,I too used to own the Revel Studios, and I am mostly into Rock, (but not rap or hip-hop though - Sorry, but "Yuck"!) ;-)(FYI, I also listen to a fair amount of jazz and vocals, as well as a bit of classical.)The Revel Studios are very g... | |

Hey Kenny,Cool website.I find this one page particularly interesting.The tonearm/tone arm/tone-arm Page In one paragraph, they refer to the "subject of our discussion" as:TonearmTone armTone-armCovering all the bases there, huh?!;-)I am getting th... | |
| Question: Is it "Tone Arm" or is it "Tonearm"? Hey Bill, (Audiofeil)I just happened to be checking out your website, and I saw the pictures you had of the Dynaudio Sapphire speakers you have for sale.Dynaudio SapphireWow, is all I can say. These are some of the most beautiful speakers I've eve... | |
| Question: Is it "Tone Arm" or is it "Tonearm"? Hey Kenny,Now that I have started researching this, I am not so sure it has always been "Tonearm".I am beginning to think it may have started as "Tone Arm", or possibly "Tone-Arm".Check out this link discussing a phonograph from about a century ag... | |
| Question: Is it "Tone Arm" or is it "Tonearm"? Rrog,I did try to figure it out online, but it works both ways.(See link below.)List of definitions, both ways And Google apparently has it as two words.Interesting, huh? | |
| Starting out- a Beatles question I have heard, (whether true or not is still up in the air), that the newly remastered Beatles catalog will be mastered from digital copies. Given this, and the cost, (which will probably run around $30 a title), it makes getting the box sets on CD... | |
| Tyler Acoustics my experience Samzx12,Happy Fourth back at you!(Hopefully you're in a State that actually lets you celebrate with fireworks, as opposed to (most of) California, which bans pretty much anything fun, except for marijuana!)BTW, you wrote:He has been a member since... | |
| Tyler Acoustics my experience Samzx12,Perhaps you should relax, take a chill pill, and go back and re-read my post.I have never heard Ty's speakers, or met the man, so I have no axe to grind either way. I was merely offering some constructive criticism to help Nokmuay present ... | |
| Tyler Acoustics my experience And what kind of music do you listen to mostly?And what size is your room?And what other speakers have you tried before?And, how much is Ty paying you to write this for him?(I am kidding about this last one, but since you just popped up with this,... | |
| Aftermarket feet for ARC ref 5 I am reposting a portion of a post I wrote about the differences between the Ref. 3 and the Ref. 5 from a year or so ago.I should also point out that the Ref. 5 does benefit, (albeit very slightly), from being placed upon a inert shelf. My friend ... | |
| Want new phono amp, what should I buy? My recommendation would be the ASR Basis Exclusive phono stage. It is a battery powered unit, that will accept up two cartridges, (with separate gain and loading for each), and will allow for balanced inputs as well.It is extremely quiet, (with vi... | |
| Any experience with the Thiel CS.5 No problem, glad to offer my input.Actually, I forgot a couple of other problems he had.A used Counterpoint preamp he bought went belly up after a few months, (not too uncommon for that company, as Counterpoint was always prone to problems, but st... | |
| Any experience with the Thiel CS.5 My brother-in-law has them, (bought used a few years ago for $600 as I recall). They sound pretty good, albeit, as you might expect, a bit light in the bass response. Resolution is pretty good, as is the imaging and soundstaging. They are rather s... | |
