| What mid priced receiver sounds best? At the time I was buying, that Onkyo was one of my favorites in its price range. I got a good deal on an open-box Yamaha Aventage 1020, which I also liked a lot, and having had good experiences with Yamaha's reliability, I went with the Yamaha.At ... | |
| 80s Metalheads...sleeper picks I was a metalhead back then.Megadeath, Dokken, Saxon, Iron Maiden, Ratt, Cinderella, Metal Church, Riot, Quiet Riot, Triumph, Tesla, Judas Priest, Dio, Motley Crue, Whitesnake (I like their older bluesy stuff, like Black n' Blue), Motorhead, Anthr... | |
| ATC SCM vs Dynaudio Excite I've had the x12 and still have scm-11s. I don't know when the revised ATCs will actually be available, but if it is soon, I'd wait to see what the revision does for them.That Vincent has some sock and shouldn't have trouble driving any of them an... | |
| What's a great system at these price points? What do you mean by "zones"? | |
| Am I totally nuts or just a bit off? I don't think you are nuts. I'm still amazed at the quality of some of the old recordings. Recently I was listening to some old Fred Astaire remasters in mono and the vocal presence was downright vivid. Some things to me sound better in mono. I do... | |
| Bands where U say Great responses. Lynyrd Skynyrd is another one I ponder. Don't know if they would have progressed or ended up washed up and playing county fairs, but a lot of drive and talent died in that plane crash. | |
| Music Sung with Passion Interesting topic. To be honest, I usually don't react much to Diana Krall music. I enjoy it, but I react like Schubert mentioned, like she's out of time with the band - and with me. To me, she's kind of a crooner, like Chantal Chamberlain, Norah ... | |
| Speaker suggestions?? Some others that might fit the situation: Krell Resolution 1, 2 or 3, Totem Mani 2, Tekton Pendragon, Dali Helicon and Revel F52 or Studios. | |
| All in one brand, please help Curious: Why not ask him?The Bose Wave includes speakers, not sure if that's a prerequisite or if external speakers are acceptable.What's your budget? For example, if it were me, and it has to be tidy and compact, I'd buy a Naim Uniti and a pair o... | |
| Looking for DAC to improve sound quality from iPod The HRT iStreamer is another inexpensive option that sounds quite good for the price. | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? Amphion Helium might be good in that situation also. | |
| Better sounding after 1 hour My ATC integrated is SS and like the other posters, I think it sounds better after about an hour. I read it explained somewhere that this is because the final factory biasing is done after bench output testing, when the amp is hot. Don't know if i... | |
| What's improved the most? I think it all has, digital of course has come the longest way because streaming options didn't exist 40 years ago. I didn't even have a PC until 20 years ago. Removing digital, I would say quality and availability have improved the most. Quality ... | |
| iphone music Sorry dude, sometimes I mistake someone asking for instructions for someone asking for suggestions. Just trying to be helpful, no need to take offense.Onemug and Metralla answered your question if you were looking for instructions.If I were you I ... | |
| iphone music I love the HRT iStreamer DAC for this. Everything you need for $200 except the RCA cable from the DAC to your preamp/integrated. I like four things about it:1) It bypasses the internal DAC. Sounds pretty damn good for $200. This works not only for... |
