Audio Gear Madness

Having a love for music I know how frustrating it gets when 99% of all the music in this world can only be listened to by way of recordings and not much else. Besides which how often can you attend a concert and have the artists play the same exact way again and again for you just for you and only you, indefinitely?

I actually know of a well-to-do country and western guitarist who bought himself tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of "high-end" MARK LEVINSON gear. I m not going to be writing about that stuff here.

I honestly hope he is happy with his system (though I doubt it), as all musicians probably would one day want a TROPHY STATUS top end reference system like his, or I hope, better.

A musical system.

The gear I review here aren't exactly cheap, but they are not in the $10,000 per component (or the $100,000 complete system) price points either.

They represent reasonably priced equipment delivering exceptional (or in a few cases, exceptionally bad) sound.

Please enjoy.




A Newbie's Guide To High End Audio

Amplifiers.

The Pre-Amp.

The control unit that houses the volume controls. Modern high end audio pre-amps tend to eschew typical mass market features like tone controls.

That's right. No bass, no treble controls. None. No graphic EQ. Nope.

The Cary 300SE Signature Power Amplifier.

The Power Amplifier.

That's the beast without any controls at all. It powers the loudspeakers and is controlled by the pre-amplifier gain (volume) settings.

The Source.

The CD player or Analog Record Player, otherwise known as the Turntable.

some ole fashioned beat up thing...betcha won't sound as good as ya mp3 files.
