If you're an apartment dweller you probably should stay away from floor speakers and subwoofers, you will piss off neighbors in a hurry, and could get evicted. But if you own a separate home, meaning not a townhouse of condo, then to get the best sound floor speakers are the only way to make...

Technics doesn't make bad turntables, without knowing what you'll be spending but the NAD C588 is a specular turntable for the money, you would have to spend $5000 more to maybe hear a difference. The specs on the wow and flutter is only 0.01, which is extremely low, considering you can get a...

Yes, the are all 0's and they are all 1's but those values have to go through the dac and the electronics supporting the dac, and whatever company makes the CD play can warm up the sound or make it cooler. Take the Marantz 6007 and the Arcam CD5, they both use the same ESS ES9018 DAC but they...

Synthesisers are not the problem, they've had synthesizers for a long time, even the electric guitar is a form of an synthesizer, they took an acoustical guitar and electrified it adding sound effects as they went. Then they did the same thing to the piano and the organ, combined the two...

I didn't read all the responses due to time is not on my side, despite what the Mick Jagger said! I would NEVER buy a vinyl record that was done by a modern musician because all they are doing is putting a digital recorded and digitally mixed unto vinyl, that does not magically convert the...

I'm assuming you don't have a Bluetooth turntable, like me. There is a way of digitizing your records, and even cassettes if you have a receiver or a preamp type of system. Look into a product made by Behringer called U-Phono UFO202. Do a internet search and do a YouTube search FIRST to see...

My pet is a lover, he loves me like crazy, as soon as he saw me when he came out behind the door at the pound he suddenly perked up and ran to me and plastered himself to my side, where he has remained 5 years later! I never knew a dog like this one. Even my wife was shocked that this dog did...

Actually I remember this stuff, and yes they did, and they still do because most analogue masters done back in the day sound like crap on CD because they try to clean up the sound and ruin it in the process.

I bought a new 1976 Rotel RP1000 turntable on a end of the year sale price, can't recall what I paid, last cart I put on was a Empire TC400, added a Hudson HiFi Acrylic mat 3 years ago, and isolation pads about 10 years ago, and a Hudson HiFi 16 ounce weight about 2 years ago.

Idddddd I didn't make myself very clear, sorry about that. Yes, speakers over the $3,000 price could benefit from a subwoofer depending on what you like to listen to, but in some types of music and movies where sub-frequencies are not being generated, there is no real benefit to a subwoofer...

Sorry, my bad, the initials AR was suppose to be AE, thanks for catching that.

Everyone hearing is different, so based on that I think the ARs are better sounding the Bronze, the AR's seem more articulate, with a clearer sound, the Bronze sound a bit boxed in and slightly muddy though not as muddy sounding as Klipsch at this price level. However both speakers would...

When they master a recording today they do it on digital, it is then mixed on a digital board, and transferred to a digital medium...CD, when they make a record from that same recording the vinyl gets the recording from a digital master mixed in digital format. Very few artists today are...

I guess you can't read, please try again.

I agree with getting a high-quality used deck, then taking it to a shop and have it gone through. Most of these decks on the used market weren't used much, especially after CDs came out, so finding a mid-90s era deck will probably mean a lot less wear than one from before the 90s. Blank...
