| Stereophile Audio Glossary Truly a pearl to be shared in the A'goN palace, Buckingham -- thanks to this reference, I comprehend now that that inarticulate listener, when hinting at the chalky yet ballsy bloom, was pointing out congestion, the vertical-venetian-blind effect,... | |
| The Future of Recorded Music Flex, with Bomarc's grace and goodwill, to clarify:I was simply trying to say what selection between some of life's apparently banal little options ultimately --and cumulatively (as a consequence of many selecting whatever option)-- can mean.Selec... | |
| How Many??? If the Q'n is just motivated by curiosity, hopefully an industry insider will be able to post something directly helpful.Don't giggle, but if the Q and especially the A is "mission-critical", you can put a price on it at google A's. Some of the re... | |
| The Future of Recorded Music I can scarcely begin to express my contempt for the idea of any essentially profit-driven entity succeeding in becoming a leading repository of any media, be it music, images, text, or whatever, in virtue of information storage in proprietary form... | |
| Do Transports Matter??? I cannot resist. How about a high end low ball? For a cd transport some have got very positive results with well-built old tech costing a mere $$599 in the 90's, now costing pennies on the dollar. Compare its performance with any dvd player or mid... | |
| Best small speaker Finding the right speakers depends on persistence and chance. Persistence in arranging auditions and listening to candidates first hand with sources which one knows intimately. Chance because the dealers one visits may carry speakers one would nev... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? 1. Due espressi (can't listen if asleep, but if asleep induces somnambulance). 2. Single? Oban (Lagavulin nipped/meditated upon in silence). 3. Often green tea. 4. Or mineral water (with #1). 5. My suggestion for sweet listening (etc etc) a deux: ... | |
| The Future of Recorded Music This is not the future of recorded music. Those who download want to download for free, legal or no, and with freedom, i.e. platform independency. You are an Apple user, so you naturally see things in an Apple light. But Apple is a sideshow (to wi... | |
| Decent starter cables? I will recommend the obvious. Any reputable recipe for DIY cables should yield decent results and will keep you on budget. | |
| What's under YOUR turntable? For now, as this thread approaches the venerable age of 24 hours finding calmer waters in the Audiogon archives, a big THANKS TO ALL thus far posting. | |
| Why vinyl? As many may already know there's a nice web page out there entitled just this - Why Vinyl?For analog experts, it might only be of peripheral interest - as a non-expert, indeed beginner, I found it helpful and informative. | |
| Run Thorens Run ? Hi Bombaywalla, indeed the analogdept is a great Thorens site. A big kudos to Clarke & Cie (I already downloaded a manual for the TD150 MKII [pdf] - good stuff!) BTW, I very much enjoyed reading your *first* impressions of the Bluenote Bellavi... | |
| Run Thorens Run ? Gregm, thanks for your eminently sensible comments, the quest continues. Actually it was a review plus the plethora of web resources addressing Thorens tweaks that put me on to this. (There also seems to be a broad selection of phono stages nowad... | |
| Run Thorens Run ? What's a bog standard cartridge? (Don't forget I don't usually set up TT's - hence this thread.) | |
| Test tones on redbook cd ??? Here's a discussion about using a piece of software named Digital Signal Generator; it seems it can be used to generate a file which can be burned directly to CD using, say Nero. I have not used the software (besides Nero) or test CD's personally. |
