Aloha!

If two speakers have the same frequency response, yet one is more 'detailed,' what measurement do you think would be most appropriate to try and explore the phenomenon of detail?

Hola.

For any given pair of speakers, are you more of a 'straight on' kind of listener, or a 'toe in' guy?

I ask 'cause I've been fussing with some speaker placement and I'm thinking I am sort of a non-toe-in guy. I like my imaging further back. I think a more stright ahead speaker set up tends to give me that.

Do you have a proclivity is this matter?

I know speakers vary, this is meant as a general kind of question.

I have asked how a poorly constructed piece of dung like a computer could produce a data stream as musical as a good transport and have been reassured repeatedly that all that matters is the data stream, the bits the DAC receives. Build quality and cheesy computer wiring do not matter.

OK, having been told this by a lot of folk I respect, I took it one step further. If a junky computer produces an acceptable data stream, why would not a junky CD or DVD player acting as a transport do the exact same thing and have the same result when played into a good DAC?

This one is for John Marks:

Heh.

My favorite is Radiohead's "Creep." Life-changing song.

Will this make a nice combo? Most of my music is going to be played from my computer (thankfully over half of it is lossless).

Anyone here have any experience with the e.One S300iu?

So I brough home my Def Tech Mythos ST's yesterday and go 'em all set up. Was tired and went to bed and woke up this morning ready to get everything hooked up to my Yamaha RX-V2095. Hooked everything up, and the Yamaha won't even turn on. It turns on for a brief milisecond and then immediately shuts off. I tried unplugging the speakers to see if it was a wiring issue that was causing the receiver to shut down automatically, and the same thing happened: It powers on for a milisecond and then immediately turns off.

So now what???

Seeing people who weren't into Tom Waits ask about which albums would be good starter albums to check out was cool. Heck, it warmed this old jaded audiophile to the cockles of my heart.

Actually, deeper than that. Maybe way down into my sub-cockle region.

Anyway, this week is Van Morrison week here in exile, so...I thought I'd see if we could get some back and forth going on Van Morrison.

So, how about it, favorite Van Morrison albums?

Limit three.

I'll even go first.

Hello, everyone does anyone know anything about ESS loudspeakers I searched the net and only found a measly amount of information on then any information will be helpful. thanks
