| ...and now a word from your anti-sponsor... Chadnliz - I believe so. I'd love to hear it and it should be easier to reproduce on recordings, on some level, since it's source is speakers and you can purchase every speaker model that they use. | |
| ...and now a word from your anti-sponsor... If the intended comparison is between recording a live sound and the sound produced by a synthesizer then there can be a huge difference between the two.The live sound, though recorded, is from the original instrument and therefore the complete so... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Personally, I wouldn't ever lie to my wife about a purchase, but she was very supportive when I did some major upgrades last year. At this point I'm probably finished making expensive purchases and I think she'd rather that I just spend a few hund... | |
| Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system Slikric3000 - I wasn't comparing the Definitive Technology speakers to mine that are a much more expensive speaker. I was specifically thinking of the StudioMonitor 350 & 450 and also one of the bi-polar floor standing models that was either t... | |
| Music to soothe the mid-winter soul Legends by Phil Coulter and James Galway. It's excellent celtic listening. I have it on CD, an excellent recording, and don't know if it's available in an analog media format. You can pick it up fairly inexpensively on Amazon and it'll be worth ev... | |
| Decent Power Conditioner in the $ 300-$400s? I have an APC 15 that I picked up for $238 to my door on a Black Friday deal and have been very happy with it. I didn't notice a significant change with it, but it certainly didn't degrade anything. One nice feature is that it has two outlets spec... | |
| Setting up monoblocks Nsgarch - I appreciate you taking the time to actually look up the amplifiers and getting to the bottom of the story.I made the assumption that a monoblock amplifier would be intended to only run a single channel and the use of a rear channel set ... | |
| Setting up monoblocks If it's a monoblock and not a stereo amp then your setup should be the following:Preamp to left and right monoblocks to left and right speakers. You'll need additional amplifiers for rear channel speakers. | |
| $6 Million Dollar Man? I'm thinking that he could greatly improve his sound by upgrading his speaker cables?Did the story say anything about how much effort/research was put into choosing the gear/setup or did he just want a bunch of speakers?The odd thing is that most ... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Sabai - After reading a few of the previous posts I went back to read your original post in this thread and it seems that you're taking this comparison far more seriously than you should be.It seems that comparing multiple pieces of gear in a sing... | |
| Possibly the Ultimate Audiophile Album? I purchased a Paganini box set with some of my Christmas money and have a new appreciation for this recording. The most difficult song (Variations on God Save the King) is by far the most musical sounding version that I've heard on a decent record... | |
| Will I hear a difference with these cables? Here's my fisrt impressions of my new DIY speaker cables after a few hours of listening.I am convinced that my system has never sounded better, but that's very different that saying that sounds better than it ever has.If I were forced to describe ... | |
| Will I hear a difference with these cables? Agreed, I considered going without a connector at the speaker, but in an attempt to do some A/B comparisons I wanted it to be as quick and simple as possible. Also, the back of my receiver is nearly impossible to get at so the banana plugs are a l... | |
| Will I hear a difference with these cables? Trust me when I say that I wouldn't purchase anything that I didn't like, but as an example I was very torn between the 816v and 836v Focal speakers. There was about a $1,000 price difference and I wanted another opinion on the difference in sound... | |
| Will I hear a difference with these cables? I have a friend that has a much better ear than I do and is also an EE so it's always interesting to see what he thinks. I always try to get his opinion before making big purchases. He visited the hi fi store with my wife and I to help me choose b... |
