Re: Subjectivity and objectivity in audio
I hope my previous post didn't give the impression that I'm dismissive of the knowledgeable and accomplished engineers who design our systems. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude. Without them we'd...

How will the audio industry change in the near future?
I'm hoping I can open this can of worms in a way that won't raise anybody's hackles, but it is partly about politics, so I'll try to tread lightly. With our incoming administration proposing to...

Re: Subjectivity and objectivity in audio
A subject dear to my heart, this. As a professional musician, my approach is far more subjective than it is objective, and let's face it, I don't really have any kind of engineering background so...

Re: Hegel H200 vs Modwright KWI200
Thanks for the replies. I missed my chance with that used Modwright but I'll keep my eyes open. One of the things that was happening in my present system is that the Proacs, though used, actually...

Re: Hegel H200 vs Modwright KWI200
Well, it appears that the odds don't favor this direct comparison, so maybe I should approach this from a different angle. I'd be very interested in hearing from any current or former Modwright...

Hegel H200 vs Modwright KWI200
Looking for some guidance here. I've owned a Hegel H200 for about 2 years now and at the moment it's partnered with Proac Response D-2s. These speakers are sort of an experiment, as they became...

Re: Speaker break-in
I bought a brand new Rel S-2 subwoofer last December and at first it didn't seem to integrate all that well with my ProAcs even after following Rel's detailed instructions about placement and tuning....

Re: Speaker break-in
My own real-world experience echoes The Professor's post very closely. I bought a brand new pair of ProAc Response 1 SCs back in 2004 (I'm still listening to them) and was deeply disappointed when I...

Sticky: Poll: Re: What type of amps do you use? Tube? Solid State? Both? Hybrid?
Solid state, always have been. I recently heard a high-end tube system (Aesthetix, though I think their amplifier is a hybrid design) and I certainly understand the appeal, it just didn't suit my own...

Re: Saying hello to the forum
Here's an update 10 months later: there have been changes to the system that have made enormous differences. Firstly, after living with the PS Audio DAC for a few months, a Bryston BDA-1 became...

Re: Recommend me my next solid state integrated ...
A further recommendation from a current Hegel owner (I have the H-200 integrated): I think you can find a used H-80 or H-100 somewhere near your price range. These have the added advantage of a...

New integrated amp from Parasound: anybody heard one yet?
I'm probably jumping the gun here, as according to Parasound's website this new Halo integrated won't ship until mid-April, but I was wondering if anybody's actually heard one yet? I owned a Halo A23...

Hi, everybody. Looking forward to following the various threads on this forum, which I found through the forums on Audiogon.com. My approach to this audiophile hobby is much more a musical one than a...
