Martin Logan vs. Everything The only answer to the dilemma of "what's best" is to have at least three main systems! Now that I'm single again, that's the goal. I have a hard time going to audio shows let alone an Audio Salon. I need to get it home and listen when I'm in the ... | |
The Hidden Gem at Capital Audio Fest (CAF) 2023! The Magico S3's are on my dream list. I thought they stole the show. | |
"The Ultra High-End Speaker." Thee most magical sound I've ever heard coming from any speaker was from a set of Snell Type B's It has yet to be bested. Joe | |
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound? I sure miss my Snell Type A V5's. They had the 18 inch woofers. They had impact when needed. I 'll be at the CAF looking for something to compete with what they offered in a slightly smaller footprint. | |
Anyone else suffering with Qobuz tonight Never an issue for people like myself who decided to stick with physical media. My Cd's and albums are never down! | |
Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts Most of these arrogant people wouldn't have the guts to say the same thing to your face! | |
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives? I own a pair of Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark ll. I may sell depending on how my divorce goes. Joe | |
Integrated Question I had the Modwright 225i. It had a nice midrange sound but NO bass to speak of. I had to crank it up to 80% volume to get anything out of it. The speakers were Acoustic Zen Crescendo Mark 2. MAYBE I could have kept experimenting with different spe... | |
Music that has a hold of me beyond understanding Someone already said it though I can't remember who: To completely understand something would be to unravel and lessen the beauty of it. Something like that anyway | |
TRAVELING TO JAPAN! Recommendations for shops for cartridges? Thanks a lot Sammy! Now you have me all amped up to want to go to Japan. I'm afraid it'll never happen unless we all charter a trip there. I've dreamed of going to Japan for a long time. Keep us posted on your success and details. Joe | |
Amp to pair with Dahlquist DQ30i speakers The room is 22' X 17'. Used for sure just like the Dalquist. Mostly looking for good clean power, not features. Budget? Maybe $3000.00. Joe | |
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". It's all about what we listened to when we were young. I'm going through a divorce right now. Last Saturday, I went down to Godfrey Daniels coffeehouse that I used to frequent when I was young. MANY of my friends were there whom I haven't seen in ... | |
How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions? Sometimes, good looks can earn a product more respect than it deserves. Some of the Japanese receivers from the 70's commanded a lot of respect due to their good looks. The sound was FAR from great though. IMHO | |
Recommendations for a shipper If you're looking for something turnkey, you're in for a surprise. The more you can do yourself, the better. I just shipped a pair of Snell Type B's from Pennsylvania to Oregon. I did not have the original boxes. The speakers were heavy at maybe 1... | |
Does it make sense to "ignore low ball offers"? Sometimes peoples expectations of a given price is unrealistic. Years ago I made an offer to a guy whose response was "go to hell". After a month or so he realized my offer was actually more than fair. He wanted to accept it. I told him that his "... |
