| Mid-Fi, Hi-Fi or.....? Dude, I run what would most definitely be defined as a "mid-fi" system (as I myself typically describe it): Parasound P5 preamp Oppo BDP-93 Denon DVD-2900 Marantz SR8015 AVR Rythmik F12G (sub 1) Miller & Kreisel K-10 (sub 2) Magnepan MM... | |
| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. And why the two grandfather clocks? Note the mirror placements of other objects in the room (speakers, tables, lamps, dog figurines, floor rugs, etc). Anal retentiveness to the Nth degree. | |
| He spent his life building a $1 million stereo. The real cost was unfathomable. Wow. I mean..........wow. What a tale, almost worthy of a Shakespeare byline. I venture to say that, sadly, he suffered from an obsessive disorder that clearly prevented him from maintaining what most would consider "normal" relationships with ... | |
| Robert Plant As I get older the acoustic version of Going to California on How the West was Won is stil one of my favorites. Absolutely +1000. I believe that performance, IIRC, was at Earl's Court. Probably my favorite Jimmy Page acoustic performance of a... | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described Be patient. Being the holiday season, EVERYTHING is slow. | |
| Do you adjust your subwoofer If I'm on a Tool jag and want to send ripples through my sternum, I bump my sub to about 1 o'clock or so. Typically it's at about 11 o'clock. All other adjustments stay the same. | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 +1 for the Rythmik F12G. That's what I paired my Magnepan MMGs with (very, very well I might add). I later added a small M&K K-10 in an opposing corner just for kicks to help fill out the room. The Rythmik subs are highly adjustable, appea... | |
| Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One. Man. TOP'S "BTO" is a great album, no question. So is ABB'S Fillmore Concerts. Really good choices. As is Floyd's ubiquitous "DSOTM". But for me? When it comes to this list? Santana's "Moonflower" typically holdsat #2 to Steely Dan's "Aja"... | |
| Rediscovery but I also have a multi CD player (Onkyo) which I load with a lot of music which I enjoy... Same here. I picked up a Pioneer 300 disc "jukebox" CD/DVD carousel to insert into my office system. I drew up an Excel spreadsheet with the CD names,... | |
| WHY IS THERE SO MUCH HATE FOR THE HIGH END GEAR ON AUDIO GEAR? | |
| magnepan Is the United States out of business? Close… Nah. When you owe the bank $100,000, the bank owns you. When you owe the bank $100,000,000.........you own the bank. | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? Charlie Haden "The Montreal Tapes with Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell" (one of several "Montreal Tapes" recordings). It's essentially the Ornette Coleman quartet without, well..........Ornette Coleman! They pull it off on a well-recorded piece that... | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition I have a friend who plays guitar that will probably like to fool around with it. A lesson to read carefully. I play guitar as well, but never learned to sight read despite knowing the notes, the musical staff, etc. I wish your friend ALL th... | |
| Equalizer in a Hi Fi system Funny that some think having an EQ isn't "audiophile" or that it adds something unnecessary to the audio chain... On the contrary, I'm inclined to DEFINE an "audiophile" as someone who, among other things, recognizes the utility of an EQ. | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please I found some good sterling silver tubing from an online source to use in my Magnepan MMGs. I don't listen overly loud and I don't listen to music that could be considered "challenging" for this speaker (as in, primarily, anything heavy metal or r... |
