Wow are things ever quiet around here!! Now that everyone is back from holidays and going to be locking themselves into their sound rooms for the winter...
Some of my favourite products, at least from the 70's, were built by Luxman. They are still around and I found this link to a North American distributor, just...
Sound by Singer is an amazing store - when I was a "senior teenager", I went into their store in Manhattan,they could see I didn't have any money, but were...
Wow - you were there? Very exciting. Here are a couple of more links. As I noticed that it has been very quiet on the audio front, this will at least provide...
I was there about 28 years ago... I think that the audio industry needs to come up with a standard line,and a "luxury line" - kind of like Honda/Accura or...
Thanks for that info Rene. I checked out the site on the web, very nice! Ken ________________________________ From: toronto-audiophiles@yahoogroups.com ...
So... are these products in any way effective, given the impressive endorsements? ... From: Roach, Ken (GE EntSol, Security) <ken.roach@...> Subject:...
I don't necessarily agree with everything that Peter has to say, but it is an interesting read for sure... "Absolute sonic transparency is a concept innocent...
Did I read correctly? Amplifiers sounding the same? If this is what Mr. Aczel is asserting, then he in one pathetic man. ! Anybody with half an audiophile hear...
Personally, my views are in line with Mr. Aczel's. The arrival of The Absolute Sound and it's disdain for measurements within equipment reviews was a landmark...
I think that what it is saying, is that everyone has an opinion about what changes sound and what doesn't. Certainly does not mean he is right. I just found it...
Aczel has been a lightning rod for controversy, to be sure. But he is certainly not pathetic, or uninformed. I'm sure that the owner of a $5000 solid-state...
I can't believe this is such a huge thing. The main thing to think about when buying an amp is what do you listen for!? Do you want your music to sound "good"...
"It does not mean that a $5000 amp sounds mystically better then one that costs $500." In the market, a $5000 amp does sound better. I don't know why you...
I'm sure that the owner of a $5000 amplifier would be smarter than me and me and not even dignify Mr. Aczel's with a response...for he would know that this is...
thank you Kent "the guitar guy"............. there is a believe out there that the more dollar you spent the better it is. allot of it is just about image and...
This always brings me back to the "a perfect amplifier should look like a piece of wire with gain" theory. If an amplifier is built to mirror this phrase, only...
I found this... http://www.soundstage.com/synergize/synergize021998.htm These kind of remind me a bit of the style of cable that Song Kim used on the Cecilia...
Very cool looking cables. Now this puts what I last posted into perspective a bit. $20 worth of parts for a cable that would cost you $2000 in stores. Just...
Interesting tautology: If $20 worth of wire parts assembled into a cable are as good or better than a $2000 pair of store-bought, then $200 worth of amplifier...
Well that may be true for you and any forays you may make into audio- land, but many boutique audio manufacturers outsource to machinists for cases, to custom...
Hi group - I was thinking about a new(er) turntable purchase, but don't want to break the bank either. Here are my criteria: 1) Must be reasonable price - we...
I find that Pro-Ject turntables offer great value. Bay/Bllor Audio has some Pro-Pect turntables. The salesman even preferred them to higher-priced brands they...
