| Blind Power Cord Test & results Quick switching is used to determine if a difference is audible, not which of a or b you prefer.If the difference is enough to be audible, why not stretch out the session and decide if it's worth investing in?.Who cares what wins the A or B test. ... | |
| Blind Power Cord Test & results Albertporter...I don't want to get mixed up with the power cord thing, but perhaps you could explain why you think (pronounce actually) that, in general, a long term listening comparison is better than a quick A or B. In my experience long term co... | |

| Blind Power Cord Test & results Many people who consider aftermarket AC cords snake oil are those that cannot (or will not) justify the difference the investment makes. If that is the argument, I am in complete agrement. Many tweaks in high end audio are a poor value when compar... | |
| Would Audiogoners be interested in this? Ben, I responded to your idea by email in a very positive way, as you already know. The new music site is beautiful and the reviews I've read were very well executed. I wish you every success, you deserve it. | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth Sorry Warren, the danger of suggesting music to people we cannot listen with. You probably won't like Cocteau Twins either, they have more tracks on the "This Mortal Coil" album than Lisa Gerard .So, my suggestion would be to listen before conside... | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. I am primarily listening, buying tape at EBAY and where ever I can find it. Calling around today to several suppliers I found out Quantegy will resume operations after they get their finances reorganized. Stock is supposed to resume by the end of ... | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. I drilled, filed and installed an IEC male in place of the convenience outlet on the Technics 1520 power and ground panel and then auditioned three power cords.The first was the original cord with a IEC female added, the second was a Belden that c... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth Warren. First would be This Mortal Coil, "It'll End In Tears" as mentioned in my first post.Next would be Cocteau Twins where the voices are mysteriously intertwined and very melodic set to off beat timing and phasing. I have half dozen from this ... | |
| Dead Can Dance's Into the Labyrinth The mysterious voice of "Dead Can Dance" is Lisa Gerrard, the same voice heard in the motion picture "Gladiator" and "Whale Rider".Her first album is simply titled "This Mortal Coil," produced in 1983 and available in the USA on LP in 1984. It's a... | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. Too bad you don't "hate" all those half track tapes, what a nice library that would be.......400 tapes. It would take awhile to spin those. | |
| Outputs, Technics 1520 Reel to Reel. I know that is true, however it is difficult to find a machine that will play 3.75, 7.5 And 15 IPS in quarter and half track with single ended and balanced in and out.Other options were a highly modified Studer from Filmco in Canada for quadruple ... | |
| Review: Porter Port AC Outlet Customized Hubbell 8300 Tweak Thank you Larryb, your results are what I experienced in my own system. This may now be long forgotten, Porter Ports began as a personal project to avoid paying retail for the outlets I needed during construction of my listening room.I sourced un-... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER So Ntscdan, you have NEVER heard an LP cut from a digital master that was better than CD? Guess you don't have a copy of Alison Krauss, "Forget About It" because the vinyl KILLS the CD. I too am a vinyl guy and have little use for digital. However... | |
| CD v.s LP - When comming from the same MASTER Pabelson, are you speaking from a theoretical point of view? I ask, because had you made the comparison with a high end turntable and CD, you would not make that statement.All of my recordings from digital masters are better on LP than CD, but the... |
