| Why Expensive power Cables when Romex behind Wall? I agree that relatively nominal amounts of hifi budget may be far better spent on room treatments than on the "upper level" (in price)powercords. I think part of the reason this doesn't always happen is that it is very easy to buy a PC and swap it... | |
| Who's hip to the Nottingham line of Turntables??? Wnovinger - For the life of me I cannot figure out HOW you get your finger in the way in order to make the belt hop to the 45 groove. All it takes to get the Spacedeck platter going on my setup is a firm two inch push with my thumb across the thic... | |
| McCormack Upgrade reviews Sounds as though Steve has considering upgrades to all DNA's. Hopefully this includes the 225, which I have and love. Will post what I find out later. | |
| Difference bewteen McCormack DNA-2 & DNA-1 ?? Yep, I love my DNA-225, too. May have to call to see if Steve has anything in mind to sweeten its pot even more! | |
| Power Cord Challenge JHunter, I live 10 minutes southwest of San Jose and will bring the wine in exchange for a ducat to sit in on the event, if you ever find a taker. Of course, the wine will have to wait until AFTER the ballots are cast so as not to unduly influence... | |
| "Thumbs Up" to Kora Customer Service Sean, I will have to admit that I initially had thoughts similar to those that you post here, and your point is very well taken. On the other hand, I did a forum search for thread references to Kora both before and after I bought my Eclipse. I t... | |
| Turntable Hmmmmm Thanks again for the response. The 'Not now sounds every bit as good (and more) in this system as in the other. Love that vinyl! | |
| Turntable Hmmmmm Thnaks for the advice. Well, I did two things. I switched a couple of the two-pronged plugs AND moved my amp a bit further from the TT. The hmmmm is GONE, but there is still a most annoying hiss (instead of blackness as with my CD). I assume this ... | |
| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits If you like Knopfler's guitar and want to be blown away by two virtuosos on one recording, try Neck and Neck with Knopfler and Chet Atkins, as Egoss has mentioned....GOOD STUFF. BTW, it is available on LP too, if you look. I found one on a Spanish... | |
| Vinyl LPs To CD For me, there is NOTHING that will solve the solution as you state it, Johnny, "a sonic transfer that preserves the beauty of my vinyl LPs". That being said, there are some credible options, depending on your budget, and how picky you will be with... | |
| McCormack Upgrade reviews You guys know if Steve is planning to do upgrades on the McCormacks produced after C/J took it over - like the DNA-125 or 225? | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations I certainly did not mean to imply that the Cube was "end all". However, I have also listened to the Monolithic and the EAR, but NOT the Trichord. IMHO, the Cube beats the Monolithic by a healthy marign - I actually found the imaging to be much bet... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations I did not get the power supply upgrade for my Black Cube and would certainly defer to sdcampbell's experience in this matter with regard to improved performance. However, the Cube I used sounded terrific in its original configuration. If you DO ge... | |
| Phono Amp Recommendations I'll second the Black Cube recommendation of Deana. Sold one and kinda wish I'd kept it - given that the price IS right, it sounds terrific, and it will offer the versatility you seek. Of course, they do require either a line preamp, a passive uni... | |
| Jazz Recommendations Oh, this is one of the finest threads I have come across on any board. Not unlike the original poster, I was interested in starting a jazz collection, after having gone about as far as I could with a 2000, mostly R&R, LP collection from the mi... |
