| The best audiophile "gag" gift for X-Mas Teajay, what you needed was the IBC (Intelligent Bovine Chip).......After 10 times on your digital, you spread it around your lawn.I tried it on my CD player, didn't get better sound but afterward, the grass WAS greener on my side of the street. | |
| The Debate's Not Over I know Qdrone, mostly directed at Marco, we have a history of making trouble together with Gunbei.Besides who can argue with anyone (you) who has posted more on music threads than all his other topics combined? Obviously your motovated for the rig... | |
| Tuner fading out how to fix. Just a wild guess, perhaps when the antenna was inside you were running in mono due to low signal level. Move outside and the tuner grabs for stereo which requires even more strength.Also possible that signal is blocked where you live and there wa... | |
| The Debate's Not Over Marco, you can count me in. Might I suggest you bring the deluxe version of The Perch as sub for the dance pole (your extra long version), and I think we need to establish early on, we prefer dancing over "flapping." Now if we could just get Debb... | |
| What new music did you get for Christmas? (1) Jack Johnson "In Between Dreams"(2) Mino Cinelu "Quest" (45 RPM)(3) Ernestine Anderson "Never Make Your Move Too Soon" (45 RPM) (4) Louis Prima "Strictly Prima" (With Sam Butera and The Witnesses) Mono.All my purchases are LP but are available... | |
| SEEKING A QUALITY CDR Joey, I buy them in 100 packs but suspect the product is the same. Probably smarter to buy the 25 pack and give them a try before committing to big quantities in case they don't please you.I have discs that were burned several years ago on my old ... | |
| The Debate's Not Over Yea Marco, just dont fall bottom first onto The Perch when you land...........Unless you have the Valium and Vodka first, then maybe it would be OK. | |
| IC's between Power Amp and Pre Amp Jena, Purist and Cardas are all for sale here at Audiogon in that price range. In fact, you could buy one or two brands at that price, try them and resell at (probably) no loss except for the ad fee of $5.00. | |
| Dedicated Lines and Wall Boxes I have both methods of wiring in my rig and honestly, testing between them I find no difference in performance.I do like the rather inexpensive plastic receptacle boxes from Home Depot. Non magnetic, unbreakable and non conductive. | |
| The Debate's Not Over All I know is this thread is worth it's weight in gold for this line alone.....Blondie vs. Bjork - I just made this one up. Bjork would karate chop Ms. Harry and sample her brains.I love Blondie but adore Bjork, funny quote. | |
| SEEKING A QUALITY CDR If your attracted to the best quality gold discs, Mitsui CDR are the best I've used, although I admit in my case it's to archive images.The Dutch government did a test two years ago and published some surprising results. Some silver CDR's develope... | |
| Proac D25 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig If I had to take a wild stab based on your previous speaker preferences, I would say the Vandy 3A Sig. The Dunlavy is pretty dynamic for it's size, much more so than the Proac and although the Proac is coherent, the Vandy is probably a bit more so... | |
| Best speakers of the group? Your opinions please I've heard all those speakers and several are absolutely world class. Regardless of comments (including my own), speakers are a very personal choice that basically comes down to choosing the one with errors that disturb YOU the least. While I agre... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD What your asking is difficult to answer. I am absolutely an analog guy but will try to comment without too much bias on the subject.A dear friend of mine who worked for JVC for several years was heavily involved with the Xrcd stuff. He worked with... | |
| Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies There is sub sonic material on some movie sound tracks that make it difficult for any sub woofer. At one time I had two 14" Fosgate THX subs (JBL LE drivers) with a high end 1000 watt mono block transistor amp on each. Even with all that power and... |
