Audiophile Crap

[lurch70]

Now to buy my new speakers. Im conflicted though. I can buy em used for cheap but plain jane. I can buy them new, personalized with my own veneer choice or auto finish but I will lose lots of money if I ever decided to get rid of them....but that is what I am trying to avoid. I want this shit and stick with it. It seems like it will be the shit, but who knows until its all set up in my home. I can buy the used plain jane, if I LOVE it, go with the personalized and upgraded caps from the designer with the money I have extra even with the used speakers in my home. Selling/shipping is a pain in the ass though. Maybe I can live with plain jane.

Now onto the amp....

Oh, and on a different note, I ran across these today: http://www.zvoxaudio.com/ Looks cool.

get the used ones first and try them out ... you can always dump them and recoup at no loss.

the new stuff on the other hand ...

[lurch70]

[Krilons Resa]

[lurch70]

[Krilons Resa]

The rapid charger I purchased is supplying enough juice to my playbook, by the time I arise, should be back in business.

[Krilons Resa]

yessir.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

Ken, can you really tell a difference in sound from these high dollar amps???

 

[Krilons Resa]

In comparison to what? Different designs sound different from one another too. It's all about synergy between the speaker and amp though.

Short answer...absolutely.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

from the standard Pioneer/Sony... receiver and standard assembly line speakers like say, my Polk Monitor 70's
I have 0 experience with the badass speakers and whatnot

 

[Krilons Resa]

night/day

stay where you are though.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

night and day huh? hmmm
yeah, im happy where im at.
90% of the time im at the computer listening to stuff anyways.
So if anything I need to upgrade my computer speakers.

 

[Krilons Resa]

do you have a good soundcard/dac? just remember, shit in = shit out. there is some really great affordable computer/desktop speakers around these days.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

na, soundcard is integrated I think

 

[lurch70]

I am afraid to ask what speakers you have on your PC Ken ...

 

[Krilons Resa]

I use a laptop exclusively now so I don't listen to music from my cpu.

Frank....look into the squeezebox to play your computer harddrive through your stereo via wifi.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

well I listen to my music on the computer. stereo is in a different room
