Paying £1600 for a DVD player is
moronic, you're just falling into marketing traps.


Agreed. I would not spend over £500 for a DVD Player.


Bloke in the big house up the street has an MC8 and an RT 12 (can't
remember what amplification) , sure it's nice kit and sounds fantastic
but it's way overpriced and the user interface is a bunch of arse. My
Anthem AVM20 sounds every bit as good for a lot less money.


I would not buy a new Lexicon. They're great, but way out of my reach. I
paid £1500 for my MC-1, btw. Came with 2 years warranty. The Anthem do seem
very good units. At £1750 could afford that, but got customs and VAT on top
(total little bit too much for me) :-(



If you're so poor how have you owned a Rega Planet,your Audiolabs AND
all the other gear you claim to have? How have you afforded to have
owned a REL Storm AND an SVS and the dozens of other things you claim to
have owned? You're a liar, puer and simple, you make stuff up to look
good - I doubt you're even 24 like you say now - I reckon you're about
18 and the SVS is your Dads' - pathetic.

You've dug a hole for yourself you little liar and when it finally gets
exposed you're gonna look so stupid.

Liar - you've never owned a Planet 2000.If you had you would have
mentioned it before now seeing as how you love to brag - you're just
saying it to try and give you a frame of reference to say how much
better than mine you think your kit is. You are the biggest liar on
Usenet - no point in arguing further with you as you have no clue and
you make stuff up - sad really.


What's this then?.....

Fantastic sounding CD P, only reason I got rid of it because the Tag DAC20
couldn't lock onto the digital audio signal (verified with another Planet
2000, which was fine, difference digital calbes, and the Marantz and Rotel
CD.p's which were fine)

SVS was about £700, so quite affordable. Most of the other stuff was bought
one by one... £475 for a CD player, £600 the the Rel etc..I could not plump
out £2000 or more for a single item in one go.

You're a liar, puer and simple, you make stuff up to look
good - I doubt you're even 24 like you say now - I reckon you're about

Nope, and Dad isn't interested in HT (although he does have a Garrard
turntable and some DIY speakers he's builts.

He hasne't a clue about subwoofers.. if he did he'll probably buy a Rel,
being they're the UK's leading subwoofer manufactuerer (and not SVS which
you need the net to find out about & read up)

Nope.

did you borrow that from your dealer then?

proof of why using an offboard DAC compromises sound quality - namely
clock issues and increased jitter.

Maybe so, for all I care you may be telling the truth (though you've
lied about plenty stuff so why would anyone believe you). Makes no
difference - you still talk utter ********.

You're a liar, puer and simple, you make stuff up to look
good - I doubt you're even 24 like you say now - I reckon you're about

I really care bedroom boy.

I care so much

If you want to know how badly your system can perform


You saying my Hi-Fi system is ****e?


It wouldn't make any difference as I don't believe you know what the
hell you are listening to. I doubt you have any musical appreciation.
You play the numbers game that's all

That is if you know how to play MP3s through your system.


Plotted a subwoofer frequency response graph... so yes.


As per normal you never answer the question that's been asked.


"Yes" is usually a reply of confirmation, but I guess being stupid would
effect every day to day conversation.

Look here..

You should be able to figure something out, that's if you're cleaver enough.

So why didn't you use a simple "yes" then? As per usual you answered a
question that wasn't asked.

enough.

I've figured out that you have a hankering for toys but don't really
know what you are doing or listening for.


I do not own the BFD, just used the site for the sine waves.



Nath March 21st 04 04:01 PM

In what language does "hankering" equate to "owning"?



I'm hankering for a subwoofer parametic EQ.. but I'm waiting for something a
bit easier to use (auto setup etc) with included calibrated accurate mic.. a
bit like Velodyne's DD range of subs in a external unit. Using the BFD with
test tones, SPL meter, correction values, then plotting, then re-adusting,
re-testing etc seems a bit too much pratting about. Basically press one
button, it'll do it's stuff- and then compare before/after.. In that case
I'll "own" one.



Nath March 21st 04 05:26 PM

So contrary to your assertion, I was correct. You hanker after your
toys.


Don't we all? :-)


This is typical of the sort of person you are. To me the gear is a means
to an end, they are just tools to allow me to enjoy music. They are the
end to you.


Good gear should produce good results. A tweak here and there increases it
(speaker placement etc) And no I don't buy porceline cable risers.

I listen to music, you listen to sound.


I listen to music.


I watch a film, you look at a picture and listen to sound.


I watch a film, and immersed in the HT experience.


It's a shame you don't realise just how much you are missing.


And for you, clean sub 40hz bass at near or below reference levels ;-)



Nath March 21st 04 05:51 PM

Again I doubt that. You are the sort to be thinking, well if I moved
that, or set that different... etc

That isn't immersion.


'tis once the film starts. Strange how I have the lights off when I watch a
film and not stare at the sub/amp/processor and say oooh that's so awesome.

How do you know I'm missing it? You only know the PDR10 isn't capable of
it, but that isn't all I'm using it is?


How should I know? Hardly said what your system is.


4 x Kef B200 drivers (in an isobarik, push/pull configuration) are more
than capable of producing reference quality sub 40hz. They can also do
it whilst maintaining multi-tonal 'textures'.


I'll have to take your word for it.
