| Does a particular musician’s songwriting and artistry speak to you above all others? Pat Metheny. | |
| WHY CABLES MATTER! Cables make a HUGE difference! I get complimented on the looks of mine all the time. | |
| How tall do you like your images? Soundstage (left to right, right to left) is more important to me than the height of the imaging. Height also seems to not vary much with my system, and is generally in the 3-5 foot range when I am seated. | |
| Just got back in the vinyl community Getting back into vinyl has been hugely rewarding for me and I hope you will agree. It is work, and brings some frustration along with it, but sound-wise, it really is as good as it gets when it's right. There is also something to be said for the ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Billy Cobham Glass Menagerie and Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore. Washed both of them with my new Degritter---all good!! | |
| Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport I had a 6000CDT paired with a C53 McIntosh preamp and it sounded amazingly good. Truth be told, I upgraded to a CEC TL5 transport, but I can't say the difference in sound is dramatic. The Audiolab is great value for money, | |
| Revel F228be I am a proud owner of a pair of Revel Performa F228be, and while I haven’t heard the variety of speakers that many on this board have, I can tell you they are a wonderful pair of speakers----crystal clear mid-range and highs, great imaging/soundst... | |
| Maybe buying a different amp Did you mean MC312, or MA352? | |
| Premium Power Cable Survey: The Results Are IN I have no doubt that I would fail a blind listening test with A versus B power chords. Having said that, I did spend what I consider to be real money ($200-$300 per chord) to purchase entry-level "premium" power chords. They look good, and fit wel... | |
| Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12 I can attest that the F12 is pretty hard to beat, particularly if your emphasis is on music---it's tight, controlled, and has unlimited adjustability. Also, here's a tip---the instructions point out that the volume control does not dictate how lou... | |
| T+A Solitaire S 530 Magnetostatic Speakers Just when I thought I had a nice setup!!!! That is one beautiful system you have. Enjoy. | |
| Absorption, Diffusion or a combination of it all? According to the pro's pros, without a proper analysis of the room, you are guessing, and may make the acoustics worse. | |
| un-becoming an audiophile Look at it this way. Our systems sound so good that we’re inclined to listen to music we may not even like that much, provided that it’s well-recorded and has interesting sound effects. We would never listen to this same music in the car. The trad... | |
| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon I was out of the game for 30 years and Audiogon was a great place to get back up to speed. I basically put a system together based on the forums and it turned out better than I could have hoped for. One shame is that I was ignored by the first se... | |
| Small, Effective Subwoofers? I have one Rythmik F12SE ($1,300) between my Revel F228be speakers and it has added a great floor to my system---tight, clean bass. Rythmik is known for making great subs for music. |
