Basement well... basement. With books, fireplace, B&W's, etc. Yes, lots of books.

Electronics Electronics ------------- a) the Problem The current situation is merely the meeting point of about 6 vectors. While one of those belongs to the "best sound possible, regardless" family, the remaining 5 are WAF vectors. Let's see the latter: 1) Only 2 loudspeakers, no subwoofers...

Thanks all for the warm welcome back ! During the weekend I'll post some pictures with the outside + view, which is not really spectacular as it used to be, but the house is twice bigger and much better built. I'll also go through the few new electronics. Many of the old ones are now in the...

Hi guys, long time no see... many things have happened in the meantime, but let's say that it all boils down to : - new house - new furniture and... - new Logans (Ethos). Here are some pictures. Seating is Ekornes Stressless TV furniture : Spectral cocoon

it's a pleasure to see that after 4 years somebody still reads it and enjoys it to the point of leaving a feedback behind. (I'm not dead, just not a ML user anymore... for now. But one day...)

Eknuds, maths are simple. What I stated is: In order to make a sensible, audible and enjoyable difference between redbook and SACD you need to fork out at least $5000. I am still supporting this idea. spend $ 1k on a cd player and on a sacd player, no difference. spend $3k on a cd player -...

Ths $5000 I mentioned are not eur translated into $. And I was probably too tolerant, $5000 is too little. Of course you can listen at SACD's on OPPO's... but if you really want to beat the CD format and what a good CD player - or a good player + DAC combo - can output, by using the SACD...

No, I don't thin k so. Ok, so we're in discount territory right now, everything goes ? I thought we're on a Martin Logan forum, the holy grail of most loudspeakers in the world. Denon, Pioneer and Martin Logan not only do not belong in the same sentence, they do not belong in the same...

you don't know sheet about communism...

You can preach sinergy only if you put your room into the equation. If you don't, you are merely talking about it.

Jaw dropping from a panel of 70+ year music listeners and enjoyers is not common, but this CD will do this and more. Believe me. Please do. and if you still don't, read here: http://www.hyperion-records.co.uk/details/67569.asp HYPERION CDA67569
