| Song intros that really grab you? ? I am hoping to inject new life into this great thread. I'm compiling 1-2 minutes cuts of the beginning of songs to play between innings of my son's high school baseball games. Please, keep 'em coming. | |
| Categorizing records There are several DB's out there that allow quick downloading of info for CEE DEE's. Some allow filling with the stroke of a few letter via an included hard-drive database and access to several on the web. A couple (i.e. CDTrustee) allow one to sl... | |
| Tube amp upgrade/repair in San Jose Bay Area A call to Nick is absolutely the first call to make - and probably the last call you'll need. | |
| Who makes Beautiful / Attractive Speaker Cables? I had a pair of Acoustic Zen Satoris for awhile which, with indirect light at night, seemed to "glow in the dark". | |
| Your favorite versions of Aja and Katy Lied? What? No love for the Muzak versions? | |
| Your favorite versions of Aja and Katy Lied? As far as Katy Lied goes, there is really no GREAT recording in terms of sonics. The songs, however, are absolutely CLASSIC! The link below is likely old hat for Dan fans but worth a read for those unaware of the issues surrounding the recording o... | |
| Ayre V-5x vs. McCormack DNA 225 Actually, I think that is a DNA-2 DeLuxe Rev A that is for sale. Still, though, I very nice piece. | |
| Anything better than Vandersteen 3A sig for the $ Having owned the 3A sigs and now the 5's. I couldn't agree with you more, Monbile. | |
| Vandersteen 5 and 5A owners Interesting, Fsarc. I had Ridge Street Poiema XLR's between the linestage (Pass X1) and high-pass filters. Did not care for the X1 in my system and just sold it to a good home. Looking now for something else and figured to consider IC-type and con... | |
| Vandersteen 5 and 5A owners Zargon, I have followed your comments regarding Vandy speakers and they have always been rather spot-on, from my subsequent experience. What are your feelings regarding the AQ cabling on the high-pass filters and issues with pairing IC's in a conf... | |
| Vandersteen 5 and 5A owners Part of my inquiry stems from the fact that I recently had my McCormack DNA-225 upraded to Platinum status by Steve McCormack. As part of the upgrade, XLR inputs and upgraded RCA inputs were added. My Vandersteen 5's are equipped with the balanced... | |
| Can I use the BFA style plugs on Vandersteens? The 5's use spades, too. | |
| Best location for isolation cones. ..glad to hear you had some real-world pleasure from cones and points last night..... | |
| Radio Shack SPL Meter mods corrections Sean, your attention to detail and in offering this up are appreciated. A perhaps dumb question, though. If there are this many tweaks needed, why doesn't The Shack just build it right in the first place? With the "fixes", is it still a relative b... | |
| Best Used Solid State Amp for less than $5000? You said used. No question in my mind, then. A McCormack DNA-225 bought used and sent immediately to Steve McCormack for his Platinum Upgrades. And, you'll have money left for a PC and IC. A review on these upgrades soon. |
