| high end audio insurance? I used a close up lens on my 35 MM camera and photographed the edges of my entire LP collection. 4X6 drug store prints and the original negatives are at the bank. This is an easy way to record every album without having to manually enter them into... | |

| Your favorite obscure ECM album Ben, I was hoping someone else would respond to your question as I am uncertain how to best describe the ECM sound.Forced to choose one description, I would say abstract Jazz. This sort of fits all, but does little to describe the difference betwe... | |

The entire outer surface would act as a giant radiator or loudspeaker. For this to work, it would req... | |
| 2 channel Preamp or Pass on the PRE??? You're going to get honest answers from people who prefer the sound each way. The direct drive method, (no preamp) operates your system without any additional circuitry and connecting cables. There is certainly good argument for less is more in th... | |

| What percent of your system cost is for cables? How are you getting sound Kelly, by connecting the center pin of a high end interconnect to a gold filling in a rear molar? I understand if the filling is particularly large, the listener can tell if the radio station is playing regular CD's or th... | |
| Cryogenics: accomplish what and work how? The points made in the Jena Labs document is exactly why Purist Audio has a contract with NASA to treat it's products. NASA has mainframe computer controlled immersion tanks that are more precise than what is typically available for commercial use... | |

| Component video cable problem Component video is the RCA type with multiple connections. Check the color code and be sure the plugs are in the right place. It is also possible the wires are marked in error. As a test, using only one of the plugs at a time, go from component ou... |
