Ugliest speaker ever?
SdCampbell, thanks for the laugh, but not for bringing the "wonderful" picture to mind. 
Why didn't the DAD format take off??
"DAD" stands for "Digital Audio Disc" the 96/24 audio only discs that can only be played on latter generation DVDplayer/transports. Some player/transports could only output this signal via analog outputs making the benefit of an outboard DAC moot.... 
SS amps. Why so much power?
P.S. this same musician friend had pretty good ears. After settling down and listening he shortly there after went out and replaced his Sansui and Proton equipment with Rotel, Creek and Linn. To be fair the previous equipment he had was probably t... 
SS amps. Why so much power?
Re: volume, I once had a musician friend( trombonist) visit me, who upon walking in my door exclaimed "isn't your stereo kinda loud?" I replied that I was trying to replicate the the sound of the original performance ( a small jazz combo playing a... 
SS amps. Why so much power?
I'll admit that the following is a gross exageration but (here it goes, I know I'll be eaten alive by some of you) I find most speakers with decent bass present a low numerical impedance load. Have mercy! 
Anybody Tried this Room Correction Program?
Ezmeraldall, thanks for sharing your research. Some people seem to think that some of the newer versions of class "D" aren't so bad. It seems to me that the Spectrons, Bel Cantos and Linn have recieved some decent reviews. I understand that Jeff R...

Ezmeraldall, I might be mistaken but I believe the TacT amps to be pure digital.

Zaikesman, touche'. Thanks for the laugh. 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Sean, first let me say that I aways enjoy your posts. They are detailed yet succinct. You have the ability to share your impressions with out resorting to hyperbole. To the best of my limited knowldege they are acurate and technically sound. To to... 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
I don't think anybody is against a new better format (although there seems to be a rather fanatical analog fringe element that may or may not like the sound of analog more than the sound of live music). I think that many share a contempt for the m... 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
JB7272 just wait until the next issue when Telig completely reverses his position or at the very least modifies it to some degree as he always does. He is of absolutley no use to consumers. Between selling scam trips to where ever he's interested ... 
Why SACD,DVD-A are already DEAD
Untill Pioneer came out with players that could play both new mediums (too little, too late?) it forced the 1%'ers (consumers who must have cutting edge) to choose or buy both , in either case risking the embarssment of being suckered. For the tr...

Ezmeraldall why compromise the signal with analog at all?
