| Do we believe in Machina Dynamics? Amazing how that additional 21st chromosome you have makes you laugh even when you have been taken to the tune of $1000 for some $5 worth of wooden sticks. I would have been really angry at myself.RegardsPaulI looked at the Machina Dynamica ads he... | |
| Shorter or longer ICs? Does anyone remember the Walker table review, where HP had to run a 3 meter IC from the table to the phono. No bass. Anyone heard the Walker? I don't think it has that defiency. My vote goes for shortest IC and longer speaker cables. Most amps gen... | |
| Review: Acapella Triolons Speaker Thank you Brian, I will absolutely look you up in Denver. I already have my plane tickets and room, I would not miss this show. | |
| Shorter or longer ICs? Agree with the two posters that recommend long interconnect and short speaker cables. | |
| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? Jim, I knew Bob fairly well, he and I spoke on many occasions and I even negotiated with him for a Blowtorch when I was moving from Counterpoint and searching for the ultimate preamp. A mutual friend of Bob's was Fred Crowder who also lives in Hou... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Zaikes, it's a cartoon. I watched it with my kid and actually laughed at a lot of the stuff they do. Or maybe it was just because I saw my kid enjoying himself :^).http://www.adultswim.com/shows/spaceghost/ | |
| VTL 2.5 without stereo output Wendell, at least it's fixed and that's good news. | |
| What kind of outlet wall plate do yo use? Jea48, what did you expect? Everyone knows door knobs "turn" the sound. | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Sorry Slothman, your post appeared after I pressed the button at my end. I agree with your assessment of "Yr" (see response above).Have you ever heard the actual original on Frammis records? There were two versions, a day sky and night sky cover f... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Marco,I do not have "A Man About a Horse," this release always came off as more of an "ambient" work when compared to Tibbetts early stuff. I would almost call it shallow compared to his older and more spontaneous work. Some of this may have been ... | |
| What's your latest "Discovery" Not my latest discovery, but great music worth looking into.Steve Tibbetts "Safe Journey" and "Yr." albums. Steve is an ECM artist, a creative guitarist who pushes the bounds of rock into a sort of an organic fusion of sounds. He appeals to my lov... | |
| VTL 2.5 without stereo output You have a puzzling situation, perhaps call VTL and ask for help. I'm not coming up with anything else. Hopefully an Audiogon member with your same preamp will chime in. | |
| VTL 2.5 without stereo output Maybe a dumb question on my part.That VTL preamp has two pair of RCA outputs. Any chance you were swapping interconnects and accidentally plugged into both left channel or both right channel jacks? | |
| Most PRACTICAL, yet good sounding REEL to REEL ??? Johnnyb53, have you or others here ever made a comparison between the Tandberg and Technics 1520 (balanced) open reel machines?I have the Technics, which mechanically is excellent. It wraps tape so perfectly it looks like a block of machined plast... | |
| Roger Sanders is back I'm good, wondered what happened to you and pleased that you posted again. It's been far and few between since you began this thread.Are you still with HP computer ? (Or is my memory wrong on that subject?) |
