| Where to audition Totem, Epos NYC Daimbert salesmen bad now? They used to be much worse. You can try Audio Connection in Verona NJ for Epos - John Rutan is pretty cool. Also they sell Proac which IMHO is far more accurate tonally that Totem and still lush and musical. Spendors als... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? ""Audiophile" recording techniques work best on acoustic music, so it's unlikely that many "audiophile" recordings of hard rock, hip hop, R&B, or rap will be produced. These are the kinds of music that appeal to the largest segment of the publ... | |
| Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars. Used Epos M12 (not newer M12.2 with rising response curve - sound bright to me). You can go FAR beyond NAD with the Epos and hear thesonic improvments.In Living Stereo sells Epos and fine tube gear. Also Totem speakers but I like Epos bette YMMV. ... | |
| The last 5 ????? Marco's back! Angelina Jolie? Well I'd just settle for no more foot fungus :).Boa2, sigh; I guess I'll never get there but the journey is fun.Jadem6, my system is currently a Denon UDM-31 micro system, Marantz CDR-500, and single driver Tang-Band ... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? "explanations can sometimes bog things down, so to speak, rather than help anyone"Yup, reality sure can be a bummer. | |
| The last 5 ????? So what is "100%"?How will you know when you get there?How do you know you're at 95% now?Is this 95% for this system or on an absolute scale?I ask not to be sarcastic but out of interest in how you got these numbers. Since audio is largely a subje... | |
| 3-Meter vs. 10-Foot Long Speaker Cables Ahhh, the problem with analyzing something which is a totally subjective experience with (ultimately) no way to define "good" or "bad".I don't have the calculations in from of me but electricity flows at the speed of light through wire and a 2" di... | |
| 3-Meter vs. 10-Foot Long Speaker Cables So, would it cause any sonic problem if I were to use a 10-foot speaker cable pair for the mid/high drivers and a 3-meter pair for the bass? Three meter is 9 feet 10 inches, so it is 2 inches shorter than 10 feetNo. Enjoy your new cables. | |
| New Digital Switching Amplifiers Thanks Ar_t.Bob, I don't think there is any sound you can hear over 20k but purely subjectively, it gives me a headache. Just don't ask me to DBT my experience. | |

| New Digital Switching Amplifiers So for a 10kHz signal to the speakers, the amp sends out 510 kHz? | |
| Cables for B&W Nautilus 802 Aw shucks, Uriah I think my face is turning red.My advice is to get James Brown "Universal James". Listening to it now. That guy is craaaaazzzzzyyy!!! | |
| New Digital Switching Amplifiers Also forgot to mention the specs were done with a steady 8 ohm simulated load. Real life loading would probably bring out the switching noise even more.For an interesting read see the paragraph on "The Quest for that Old-time Religion " section:Ha... | |
| New Digital Switching Amplifiers I'm glad we could bring back this thread which was on its way to oblivion because it is an interesting topic.Ar_t, maybe I didn't understand your question. I was refering to filtering the HF switching noise the amp itself produces.Tvad, even the o... | |
| New Digital Switching Amplifiers Ar_t my question exactly. From the tone of your question I'm guessing you have something else on your mind :-).If you get Stereophile, check out Aug 2005 page 114 for Channel Islands D-100 specs:"But you can see from this graph how the ultrasonic ... |
