Mackie 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) Nothing new in terms of information. Even our youngest member in this forum can write a meatier and more in-depth article than this one.

lekguan 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 Ok but this is something more "official" because people don't believe cordless are that bad. And it gives a little insights to why to and not to choose headphones. (Basically people as rich as bill gates or so would prefer to have speakers since at the amount they can afford, the speakers should beat most, if not all headphones.)

Mackie 0 Report post Posted September 24, 2003 (edited) Jokes aside, I wouldn't say the statements on any hifi magazine as "official" as there's always the business element which promotes a certain degree of bias. What matters most is the consumer has to make an effort to audition any audio equipment before commiting in a purchase. On the issue of loudspeakers and headphones, I conclude the former is superior but both has their own caveats....more so for speakers setup than cans. In terms of simplicity, price, room space etc....headphone setups provide a good insight of what audiophilia and hi-fidelity is all about. For all U know, Bill Gates might be using only cans as he's always expected to be on the move. To him, R-10s are what ear buds are to us.

Rameish 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2003 (edited) The name of this magazine should be What Hi-Fi? Hang on that's their name. Hmmm...:-) Just in case: think in terms of ambiguity in the name. You'll get the drift. Edited September 25, 2003 by Rameish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekguan 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2003 wait, usually newbies who ask about cordless won't quite accept what we say, and still insist on getting cordless. So if we use this article, its something to support what we mean, and only then will these newbies think we make some sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hm from what I know, Bill gates has the most state of the art theatre built in a concrete shell underground and it is a 400 seater (IIRC). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
