Hi Nick, I recently sold my reference system. This is one of the systems I just bought: Pioneer 578A Panny SA-XR50 Hsu VT-12 Ventriloquist system Hsu SFT-2 Sub It sounds pretty good. gb

REALLY FUNNY! But they forgot some: The "Lame Anthemic Singers Ipod", which features the latest hits of Michael Bolton and Celine Dion. The famous "Last Tour Ipod" featuring the vocal stylings of Cher. The "I Can't Read Music, but I am a Great Composer, have Great Hair, and Get...

A question for you M902 owners that also have HD600s/650s. Does the supposed neutrality and truthfulness of the Grace balance nicely the smooth nature of the Senns? (I don't want to say un-exciting nature of the Senns, cause that would be too easy for you Senn disliker's ) Thanks from a very...

Quote: The Wright WPP100C is no longer made; it has been upgraded (??) with the WPP200C. I haven't found the WPP100C on the used market, either - I guess those that purchased it don't want to let it go! Yup. I'm with you guys, I think $600 for an 834P is a pretty good deal...

Quote: Originally by Endus: the only thing I would say though is that not having a concrete, understandable system for returning personal property which is confiscated by the government is an unacceptable flaw in the system. Yes, you are certainly correct. If an item is not clearly on...

Hi all, You know its kinda weird, but not long after 9/11, I posed the question here at Head-Fi about the possibility of mint tin amps being confiscated and no one had yet thought about it. Now it seems to have come true. GS, I like everyone else here am very sorry about the loss of your...

I don't usually make recommendations about gear I've never heard, but from what I know of the Scout and the 834P from some savy audiophiles, there should be a big difference between the Creek and the 834P. Do remember however that you are unlikely to hear the EAR at it absolute best without good...

Howdy all, I own the George Wright WPP100C and step up tranny. I absolutely love the sound. The L/R gain controls are a nice touch, but they are hard to set due to their size and not being stepped. I don't really need the Step-up tranny with the medium output MC Cartridge I use, but it sounds...

Quote: Has anyone seen or tried the Sonos? I saw it Popular Science and it looks pretty sweet but is pricey. Jefemeister, the Sonos guy was doing some posting a while ago at Audiocircle I think (coulda been AVS), and the system does indeed look cool--and pricey. I think it is a very...

Quote: I don't see the need for multichannel, but then I don't see the need for stereo either. Hey CSMR, you only need one ear for mono if you're listening to headphones! I have had some really good stereo equipment in my home and I have to say that when properly set up...

Howdy all, I am also a happy Squeezebox user. I am connected via toslink to my Yamaha DSP-A1 and use a Niles switcher to play music throughout the house. I can't really comment on the quality of the sound vs. a high-end source, but I will state that I think it sounds pretty good through the...

This is exactly why my presence is needed at Head-Fi. You guys need some levity in your lives. You are so dreary and downtrodden. Thanks for the fun day, it was special! gb P.S. Howdy ToddR, How's the Cary? Good I hope. Yup, I've sold the whole farm except the piglets. I do have an...

Oh my, what a tangled web I weave, wove, woven... My world: 2 years Bizarro world: No years Dog world: 21 years Real world: 3 years Duh, I flucked spelng two... Cheers to all! Gary Note: No Headphones Were Abused During The Making Of This Post!

I've been a member exactly two years today. Yippee!!! Oh, how time flies! You guys are so much fun, I just couldn't stay away. I'll be here more often from now on as I have decided--bad ears or not--I love headphones! Ok so that is a little over the top...I REALLY LIKE HEADPHONES...

Howdy, I'll weigh in here. I've never heard VonSchweikert speakers, but I can recommend a few amps to check out. I would have to agree with the McCormack DNA .05. I owned one and had it upgraded to rev.A and it was simply terrific. I wish I had never sold it. The Blue Circle CS...

Hi all, I have had my squeezebox about a week, but it took me a couple days to get the wireless gear set up. I know, I know, but I am not a computer expert! It appears very well built, and works like a charm. I ended up getting a Wireless version and added a wireless access point...

but I guess I have to post a link before this gets buried in the archives of Nevertobeseenoforheardofagain Land: [URL=http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue15/supra.htm] Who's got my baby now? Cheers from a Headfier with no gear! gb

Wow! This is a little like starting out as a newbie in audio. No he does not currently have any pedals, and I guess I have a lot to learn from the info you guys have thrown me. Armed with the info you've all given, I'll do a bit more sleuthing. My kid is almost 18, plays several wind...

My answer to your question will tell you a lot--I don't know. He would like to be able to have distortion effects similar to those available on the solid state Marshall amps. The Music Man amp has reverb and phase controls but I think that is all. I know, I know, I'm not much help...

Yes, I need lots-o-help! My son has an Ephiphone Les Paul and a 1980's vintage Music Man guitar amp. I would like to buy him an effects peddle for his b-day. I have a budget of $100 or less. Is there anything worth buying for that much dough? Thanks, gb

Ok shapman, you win. I am not "wireless" enough to go through all that hassle. I should know by now that nothing with a computer is as simple as it seems. It all sounded good in the beginning. So a wireless squeezebox and a wireless access point with an ethernet connection to my existing...
