| hearing loss from compressed music Hearhere, humans have been on earth for a very long time, remember that the automobile, television and all that we consider "old" technology is VERY recent.My comment that all sounds falling on human ears since the beginning of time is accurate, o... | |
| hearing loss from compressed music I am not overly alarmed by the article and agree there will probably not be research devoted to it. In fact, I will allow my son to listen to his MP3 files, even though I am very protective of him.I am however, a believer in the idea that "nothing... | |
| Marsh A400s or McCormackDNA225? Being a friend of Steve McCormack, naturally I suggest the DNA 225. As for sound, the 225 is a remarkable value in the world of high end audio. Add to that, there are no reliability or service issues. In case you don't already know, Steve is a ver... | |
| hearing loss from compressed music Interesting, even though I am not qualified to prove the concept one way or the other. I understand the point about data compression and losses. Certainly I hate the effect that process has on music quality. Consider too, until VERY recently, ever... | |
| Best phono pre-amp Obviously I am going to recommend Aesthetix, since that is what I settled on after much listening and testing. The new Signature version with dual supplies and fitted with NOS tubes (in my opinion), is the best there is. | |
| transport w best detail retrieval and 'weight' Good question, perhaps there are people bringing them into the county to meet the continuing demand and making a few dollars in the process. Wish I could justify buying an Audio Note and CEC transport so I could describe it's performance first han... | |

| transport w best detail retrieval and 'weight' The CEC-TL1 belt drive is magic with your converter. I know and respect several people with that exact combination. | |
| What's under YOUR CD player? Symposium Roller Bearings on top of a Purist Audio Isolation shelf. I agree with Tsrart about replacing the power cord on the Sony 9000. I got a big improvement swapping mine too. | |
| How do you store a whole lotta LP's? I designed and had built, a wall of bookshelves that run fully floor to ceiling along a section of the wall in our living room.This will accommodate my VPI machine (on roll out shelf), along with several thousand LP's, part of my audio gear and ev... | |
| Isolation Passive/Active??? The Vibraplane is commonly used for microscopes and in the audio world. They have both active air and passive air models (with and without pump). They are expensive at around $4000.00, but are highly effective at isolating components. | |
| Vintage Tuner Comments That is remarkable Viridian. I owned a Fisher 1000 a few years ago, compared it to Magnum Dynalab, Yamaha CT 7000. PSE Studio 3 and Marantz 10B. I am still more impressed with that Fisher than anything I have heard before or since.If FM had not go... | |
