Rolling Stone snubbed Rush for almost 30 years....

One guy didn't like it when I used "Godlike" as a descriptive for the sound of a "mere" technics sl-1300 TT. I never mentioned it being "the best" or "holy grail" but I did violate the audio snob...

No. Outlaw audio RR2150. $699

RRHOF has to be the biggest collection of imbecilic bastards on earth. Rush already sold millions and sold out arenas 10,15,20 years before fractionally talented bands were nominated. RRHOF is a...

Ok there I was... staring at a $10,000 LINN LP-12 setup. Required occasional maintenance, which means aligning with an o'scope. Required my nitty-gritty record vacuum cleaner. Required ever so...

I would stick with basic speaker cable setups: I'd avoid things like analysis plus or other "exotic" cables. You won't necessarily damage speakers, you will hear unusual rippling and noise if the...

The Nakamichi Pa-5 and 7 licensed stasis 1 topology from Nelson Pass. the problem with it, is that the amp could be unstable at times and oscillate with exotic speaker cables attached. Otherwise: ...

This thread is nothing short of an all-out storm of ideas and craftsmanship. I know there is no way Polk could have offered the speakers at a reasonable price had all these touches been incorporated...

I can remember infinity (vaguely) from the late 70's. They were the first "transparent" speaker I listened to. All the mass market stuff bose, jbl, klipsch seemed far too colored/inaccurate by...

Just scored a pair of Sl-2000 tweeters for $64 shipped. Ordered 2.7 ohm precision audio resistors.

Scomp, you pollute this place. You need to get over yourself. You should not even be here. Hardcore snobs like you consider polk pedestrian midfi anyway. You should go hand out in a snobs only...

The monitor 7's original black tweeter was made by Peerless. I have a pair of 7's myself with that tweeter.

Arnie Nudell is a GREAT designer!

Ok there I was. Downtrodden because a VERY NICE set of Monitor 10's would cost way too much with shipping to be cost effective. I am not going to pay $100-$200 more than they are worth....
...

Well Scomp, since I am not caught up in audio snobbery, I can use Godlike anytime I wish. It sounded GREAT, blew the $20K wadia cdp into the dirt in terms of <giggle> "PRAT" and midrange. I just...

This table isn't what I consider expensive. Pair this with a $300 cart and it makes Godlike music, the likes of which my SACD SCD-1 could not achieve. I had to hold my wallet in my pants and back...

I was in a high end stereo shop not long ago. Components ranged from modest to painfully expensive like Wadia and Krell. The owner had access to CD, dvd, blu ray, sacd and so on. I asked him what...

The QS were sold over 6 years ago. Sorry.

I agree that tube rolling is a money pit. I waded through that swamp for years. I don't care for mushy amps. But as Mike stated: "Who cares what other people think as long as it serves YOU." I...

I have a hakko and it's everything I need.

I am negotiating for some monitor 10's right now. My 7's should be getting a new veneer in a few weeks.

ohh... nice blast from the past! I used to love the military exchange AAFES catalog and used to just read the ink off the page in the polk section, and the polk brochures....as well as magazine...
