| Record sleeves? I may still have a link to a supplier in Gt. Britain who has genuine rice paper sleeves but at last quote were .87 cents each. I did not think it worth mentioning at that price. | |
| what the THX ? Slappy, you presented some time honored excellence too, at least in the way of a fun post.I think I like your story better than mine. One question though. Where does Bill Gates fit into all of this? You must have a story about him. | |
| what the THX ? The initials stand for Tomlinson Holman's eXperiment, so dubbed by George Lucas.The name and number associated with this is an interesting thread that runs throughout Lucas career. Way back in 1967, Lucas did a student film titled THX 1138 and the... | |
| Aesthetix IO vs. Manley Steelhead vs. The Groove Frank, (Fmpnd)Thanks for the compliment. I stayed out of this thread as everyone already knows how obsessed I am with the Io and Callisto. I am pleased that your Goldilocks syndrome has ended and without the risk of dealing with bears.A member of ... | |
| Deep bass response of Audio Note 2.1x Balanced DAC Mama, I dont necessarily disagree with your assessment of DACs in general. All are compromised due to the limitations of the format.However, the gentleman ask for solutions for a problem with HIS particular Audio Note, for which I assume he paid... | |
| Record sleeves? I want to bring up a point not yet discussed in this thread. The term rice paper is a misnomer, as there is no paper actually made from rice. The term generally refers to fine Japanese papers, often the acid free variety which are excellent for st... | |
| Deep bass response of Audio Note 2.1x Balanced DAC What tubes does this use? I ask because tubes have a distinct personality and I might be able to suggest a substitute. Isolation is a big deal on the Audio Note DAC. Have you tried Still Points or Symposium Roller Blocks under it? I also suggest p... | |
| Nagra vpa monoblocks. which speakers would suit b In several discussions Ive read, these were matched up with Sonus Faber Amati Homage or Verity Audio Parsifal Encore.Since the Nagra uses high voltage 845 tubes in push pull, you might get by running the big Soundlabs in a small to medium sized r... | |
| if i were a carpenter... Here is the link to the hit at AMG. Johnny Cash did that song on so many albums I dont think you want me to list them all.http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&uid=UIDMISS70312090215050866&sql=H616182If the link is damaged or is ineffe... | |
| SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel Jadem6, I remember a late night channel 13 television broadcast where the PBS interviewer spoke with a Jadem6.This boy broke down, revealing the tragedy of his younger years and the difficulties he faced as a musician.Is it possible that you are t... | |
| Treating records with LAST preservative My experience is identical to Sdcampbell. Of my (approx.) 6000 LPs there are only a hand full that are not treated with LAST.I like the product and in comparisons with Groove Glide, preferred LAST. | |
| What cable caused you to become a cable "junkie" ? Peterson Engineering, put in my system in 1978 by Steve McCormack who would soon be of Mod Squad fame.I couldnt believe that a new cable could make such a difference, after all I had brand new Belden RCAs, fresh from the blister pack. Today my... | |
| Absolute must see at CES this year? I will definitely be visiting the Convention Center to pick up a CES flier, handed out by the beautiful young females in white shorts.This is ONLY for the flyers mind you.......not an attempt to gaze at the young models.Depending on the literature... | |
| Anyone's opinion about VTL amps? Sorry, I have not heard the Audiomeca Mephisto so I cannot know if that is the issue.I assume youve tried various feet under the Audiomeca, such as the Symposium Roller blocks? The source end of the system, particularly the CD player and preamp h... | |
| Anyone's opinion about VTL amps? If the driver tubes affect the sound of the 450 as much as the 750, I would suggest swapping the original Sovtek tubes for something with less distortion and wider bandwidth.I have not completed my testing, but Brimar and Sylvania Military grade i... |
