I have a Rock Lite for sale approximately 8 months old and a Princeton 1500 DVDO Iscan Plus v.2 a little over a year old. Both in good condition without heavy use. Rock Lite 1095 Princeton 350 PM if interested.
To me the question is hear or think they hear? To explain "think they hear" means science needs to develope further in the science of psychology. If I think I hear something but in a controlled study I can't prove it-did I really hear it?
I have in my main audio/video room a B&K Ref 30 and B&K 7270 amp. In my second room that I use mainly for TV, records and some recordings, I have a Pioneer 811 used as a pre with a NAD phono preamp for records, Outlaw 750, and NAD for the seven channels. Mainly got the 811 to see how the newer...
Money was a consideration on the 950, but there was also a lot of controversy on the 950 and I thought I could always get one later and sell the 811 if I didn't like it-much smaller investment. I also felt that the decoding on the 811 was similiar enough to the 950 that I wasn't really missing...
I bought the 811 after I decided against the Outlaw 950. I am using it with an Outlaw 750 amp for 5 channels and a NAD amp for the back channel (which I have split into two). I think it sound great and the processing is very quiet. I have no complaints. Before I hooked up the amps above I used...
There is no question that they have a long history "in the industry." I am sure they have a lot of knowledge and industry contacts but I am not sure that qualifies them as "engineers"-designers maybe. I think Kevin was not "seeing the arguement" and there may not be one, but this is what I see...
This question is best answered by John Kotches as he is "in the industry so to speak" but anybody that knows is welcome. The question is how many engineers does Outlaw have and what is their composition (electrical etc.).
The Audio Critic has had some relatively bad reviews on speakers-some of which have been highly rated. The problem is that listening to speakers is pretty subjective and as soon as someone says something negative, someone else comes unglued.
I've been out of town and very busy but this thread is remarkable in that it hasn't been locked. It seems to have got very personal but at the same time really entertaining. By the way, what side gets you flamed?
Charles, This review has been discussed here and the author is going to revise his article. There were several technical inaccuracies that were pointed out. They have a forum over there where a vigorous debate has been going on.
Th author posts over there and they have a nice discussion going so if you have any interest in taking him to task, he probably would enjoy it. I do think they make mistakes and he said in a later post that some of his article was definately subjective. You do seem to disagree with him with...
Aaron, This was posted in their forum yesterday. Is this what you read? Greetings everyone, There are many good responses to our Article in this forum, and I appreciate all the feedback. There is indeed, a weight discrepancy in the article and I apologize. It will be updated soon, and...
quote: Yes, Audioholics did claim that. They also said that the 4ES is 7 lb lighter than the 5ES, but according the the specs I have, it is 7 lb heavier. The 4ES was intended to hit the market at about 25% less MSRP than the 5ES. I have read a lot of stuff on audioholics, and as a result of...
Whether it is true or not, I don't know but a dealer told me (and the other forum-avs) is saying they are being bought by Jade Industries-an OEM manufacturer.
Lee, That was a poor choice of words on my part. I was really just referring to the supposition at the start of this thread when it came to the high end. I am aware that most high end amps etc. are designed and engineered here. I know some are supposedly heavily modified. Sometimes I have a...
Thanks, Chu. I was just trying to get a feel for how big some of these companies "engineering staffs" really are. What I am interested in is what is "form" and what is "substance". I know this is not right on point, but it appears that not just in the high end is the market really driven by...
