...and now a word from your anti-sponsor...
....but the audiance can't really tell if half the sound is coming from a tape recording- so it must sound real.? 
Your best chair you listen to your gear
"Your best chair you listen to your gear"... is good for the ear and easy on the rear !! LOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOL 
Has anybody heard the new Audio Research LS 27?
"ARC may come out with new products every few years,but how can one criticize when the continue to push sota forward?"Personally, I think the state of the art was maxed out years ago and now they are just offering products that are more complex an... 
How do you judge your system's neutrality?
You can record the sound over the air with a two channel pro recorded like Nagra and then replay the rerording in your system. Then compare to the original recording. This should help reveal any colorations and distortions if the recording is good... 
XLR cable for basic beginner
I agree with others that suggest using pro studio cables. I use Mirlin (sp) (not the same as the speaker company?).They are very high quaity pro cables with Neutic XLRs (dont forget those too - dont use any other brand.) I noticed this is what Alb... 
Hearing Damage over 20khz?
Might damage your dog's ear. :) 
Shindo Cortese - First Impressions
Why would someone want an audiophile amp to sound like a humbucker - muddy unclear mids and no highs? Single coils all the way for me for full range clean sound! :)I think the tonal imbalance you describe (high bass- low treble) may be traced to a... 
Legacy speakers and what amps?
I had the Coda idea too. From what I understand, Coda used or uses legacy speakers at the factory. (no first hand exp. though). I would have first hand exp. if Coda had some dealers around. I live in the same town as Coda (sacramento) and have nev... 
audio research REF 150
Why dosn't ARC's website mention any of this? Any REAL reviews yet? 
electronics graveyard ?
My area does that too. About every six months they have e-waste collection for electronics. I beleive it is now illegal to put TVs and monitors in landfills, so they must be collected. I have seen a few dead CD players for sale here on the GON and... 
Likely culprit for harshness at higher volumes?
My best guess is it is the CD player and maybe amp. I doubt it is the speakers or room. Higher order harmonics are not genrrated by the room. You can take steps to improve room acoustics, but that is more like icing on the cake and no way to fix b... 
Does anyone know what I saw ?
After reading E's responce, I'm 99.99% sure what I saw was NOT pig tails. I did, at one time, buy some interconnects that had, at one end, the normal male RCA and a second connector plug that was like a female mini plug jack. The store owner said ... 
Does anyone know what I saw ?
This was years ago, and it was an ARC LS2, so not too anemic and never to be confused with a Bose product.Elizabeth, I think item #3 is the closest. These were speaker lamp cables spliced into the preamp outputs (one each channel). It was some typ... 
who makes auto biasing tube amps w/200 wpc
Wolcott P220 monos. (not shure if they are still made?) 
small companies making today's best products
Large or small, I would trade off a small amount of sound quality for superior build quality, long product life, good resale reputation, good dealer network, and reliable service (that hopefully will never be needed). Of course, it very hard to ju...
