| not a charming day with snakes Cornfed, I had similar results in my system. I did not try them with my digital, but did audition over a three week period using the Walker turntable.With Powersnakes on my Callisto preamp, Io phono and on the Wolcott amps, I spun lots of LP's. Th... | |
| Anyone compare outlets? All electrical Outlets are manufactured by Arrow Hart, Schurter, Hubbell, Leviton, Eagle, Pass and Seymour, or other large electrical manufacturers. $200.00 for one of these ( regardless of what is done to it ) is absurd.I saw an entire case of "A... | |
| Girl diagnoses & solves mechanical problem Angela, I got it!! "With one of these, I can get as many of those as I want" :) You were describing a dollar bill and wishing you had pennies, right? Much like the guy who called his mother for advise during the honeymoon. "Mom, she is breathing p... | |
| SACD and DVD-A:why so negative, "guru"? AMEN, Cornfed. | |
| Recommend location and type for kitchen speakers In-wall speakers ceiling mounted are a great alternative. The space behind in-wall speakers affect their performance, with .5 cubic feet being the lower limit.Most ceilings face open attic space, providing easy installation and fewer acoustical pr... | |
| Songs & Artists NEVER HEARD on the RADIO? Happy Rhodes album titled "Warpaint." Is the first that comes to mind. It is an intoxicating album released in 1991 that I still enjoy today. While shopping for music, the store played a cut and I bought a copy on the spot. I was surprised to neve... | |
| Best tube pre-amp with remote vol. control If you have $14,000.00 to spend, the best remote control preamp (ever) should be available in less than three months. Not yet public, but I assure you, worth the wait, if within your budget. | |
| 35 and 40 ft runs-Balanced will be expensive Brand new Purist Audio Design Elementa in balanced configuration carries a retail list price of $870.00 for 12 meters (40 feet).It can certainly be purchased for less, making it very reasonable price among audiophile quality cables. | |
| Tubes in Blue Tesla offers premium E 34L tubes in both blue and red tinted glass. No performance gain or loss, simply a way to add color to the amp. Think of your tubes as having the premium color option, but without the premium price :~). | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Oh and by the way, I like the old stale crap that Chelillingworth likes, provided we are talking about JJ Johnson, Red Garland, Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson and Billie Holliday. | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? Discovering ( from this post ) that Pat Metheny is smooth jazz, I heartily join the smooth jazz group. Are Oregon, Steve Tibbets, and other artists on ECM also considered smooth Jazz? If so, I have a large library of this style music. | |
| Best/Worst sound at CES and T.H.E. Show? The worst sound at T.H.E. Show was in the second floor mens room just after lunch. Luckily I escaped before I saw who was in the stall. | |
| Anything exciting at CES? Various models of Soundlab speakers are easily mistaken. Just to set the record straight: The speakers in the Soundlab, Wolcott room were not the $ 32,000.00 U-1's, but rather the $14,000.00, M-1's. | |
| Who R U? Bishopwill. I do not know if I am among those who welcome you. Your admission of being a strong supporter of double blind testing makes me apprehensive. I do not welcome those who come here to fight for DBX testing methods.During my two years here... | |
