| Isn't it really about quality of recording? @ghdprentice Thanks for your insight. Actually I own an all ARC Ref system. Good recordings sound really good on it. Crappy recordings sound like what they are. | |
| Isn't it really about quality of recording? A good system will not make a bad recording sound good. In fact, the better the system the more it will reveal the flaws in a bad recording and pinpoint what those flaws are. | |
| I have a feel good story.... Thanks for posting this and I'm happy your issue was resolved without you having to go through the hassle and down time of returning the unit for repair. Party on! | |
| Turn down the Volume! The volume knob is the only 'tone control' I ever use in my system. | |

| What are we objectivists missing? I just completed the work on a device that measures sound quality. I call it the SQascope. Send me your money, lots of it, and I’ll send one with directions to you in a plain brown wrapper and you can measure all your cables and the cables of your... | |

| gryphon amps Of course Gryphon is the best amp. So are all the others. | |
| How important is spending time with your gear? I am a part of my system as my system is a part of me. What's a wife? | |
| What's with all the new colored vinyl? @has2be I have some of the Clarity releases and, yes, they are milky white. But I also have some LPs that are colorless (clear), you can see your hand through them. Chet Baker "Cool Cat" on Tidal Waves Music is one that comes to mind. 180 grams a... | |
| What's with all the new colored vinyl? @noromance Thanks, but I wasn't referring to vinyl from the '50's. I asked about all the NEW colored vinyl, and why we are seeing so much of it lately. |
