| good listening/bad listening My system sounds better at night when the lights are just right. It doesn't sound as good when bright sunlight is coming thru the windows. My wife and I both agree on this phenomenom. We know it's not "true" but it's real to us. This is why I susp... | |
| Totem Arro review in TAS??? www.avguide.com has every TAS review in PDF format. | |
| OUCH My Dynaudio's have crashed.... Am I missing something? You love the Dynaudio's, your room likes them, your gear likes them and even your wife likes them. Why would you even consider anything else - you've found it! Get a used pair of 2.8's or their current equal and be done wit... | |

| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch What do you mean exactly by "slow"? | |
| DAC Recommendations Where can you buy a 500gb hard drive for $150.00?Almost anywhere. CompUSA, Best Buy, etc. | |
| Am I Bad Listener? Many thanks for your responses. I have learned a lot through this post. I'm not sure I will get completely off the upgrade/tweak merry-go-round but I will likely try to limit it and find more good recordings that bring out the best in my system.Th... | |
