| I've finally lost it We have similar tastes and I confess, I suffered through the obsession for each and every component in my system. In hindsight, the agony built into the pursuit went as an unappreciated reward. Sometimes, serenity can hide inside a tortured shell.... | |
| I've finally lost it Viggen, please share your findings and insight to “serenity”.Most hobbies, as practiced with passion, remains illogical and irrational considering the costs involved. But, the journey or pursuit exists until our particular destinations are met in ... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Garyk, I agree... exceptional. Another outstanding work which might interest you if you don't have it already, self-titled Bebel Gilberto. Enjoy. | |
| Best female vocals on CD Jackie Allen's "Love is Blue" has moved her up a notch in my list of very enjoyable artists. Not claiming "best", but everything seems to click on this album for me, as compared to her "Men in My Life". Great thread! Many additions to my library h... | |
| Best table in $1500 range At about the time of the Scout introduction, I chose to go with the comparatively priced Kuzma Stabi S/Stogi S. I was looking for a high quality, plinthless, suspensionless and extremely compact unit, which is the exact description of this table.I... | |
| Muse model 9 sig CD player how good? Just my 2¢ - The Muse 9Sig was my single-component solution for 2ch redbook and dvd video front end. At the time of my purchase, the distance between mass market dvd/cd players and declared hi-end units were vast in quality and price. I think the ... | |
| 2 ch. or 5.1 amp for HT mostly for music You are describing a common situation that I would guess most here are familiar with and one that is discussed very often. Upstream or downstream, which dictates good sound to you?Sorry, I am not able to offer recommendations for "quickest return ... | |
| 2 ch. or 5.1 amp for HT mostly for music Hello Papertrail, I didn't really go away from HT. I ultimately moved toward a separate 2ch music-only system in another room. The receiver-based system remains, with exceptional digital front end and sans the 2ch pre and amp. For me here in this ... | |
| 2 ch. or 5.1 amp for HT mostly for music My experience is a bit dated considering my HT involvement was a few years ago. But, my situation and needs were similar. If your preference for listening to music is 2ch, as opposed to the trend towards multi-channel audio, then your choices may ... | |
| Comments on Magnum Dynalab MD-208 receiver I do not have experience with your Rowland, which probably deserves the high praise it receives, but imo the MD-208 will be one of a few appropriate "downscale" solutions. Unfortunately, Bemoptil123's "downgrade" statement is probably accurate. Bu... | |
| martin logan cinema with paradigme fronts ???????? I don't have direct experience with Paradigm, but I did try mis-matching speaker designs in my HT. I had an ML Logos center with AP Virgo mains. As Sdcampbell stated, I found that perceived speed was a primary determining factor of compatibility. ... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? I would imagine everyone gets off the merry-go-round eventually. Whatever the impetus, whether it is money, interest or time that runs out, the audio hobby equivalent of juggling ends at some point. There can be many reasons for the end of the roa... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? Limited exposure and imo highly gifted - Duevels. | |
| What other obsessions do you have? Needless to say, my family is the most rewarding obsession to me and everything else takes a back seat to it.With that out of the way, I always need to be involved with art and design in some form. Whether it is contemplating/sketching ideas for a... | |
| would you bother? I bothered to get a turntable and have found that I could have done without it. It is a bit of a hassle and the need to attend to it is frustrating.The reason I got my table in the first place is probably the same reason for your inquiry, it's the... |
