| Most Analogue-like sounding Player 2k or less I agree with Maxgain, in fact the old ARC DAC 120 converters can now be bought for a few hundred dollars. You would need to purchase a nice transport if you do not already own one.In fact, you could buy the ARC and a Sony 9000 ES SACD player. You ... | |
| Tube Upgrades for CJ MV-52? For the 6SN7 position, the best choices are RCA black plate, very old (1940"s) Sylvania or if you can afford them, 5692 RCA ruby base.For the 12 AX7's the Sovtek is great bang for low bucks spent, better sound may be had from Amperex Bugle Boys, T... | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Statis, I appreciate and respect the parallel you have drawn between the two hobbies. Spoken (obviously) by a person of intense dedication and passion, and I am pleased that you are here with us. | |
| Have you heard Rockport speakers? Bill, If it helps any, I agree with Audiokinesis and have chosen the exact speaker (Soundlab Ultimate Ones) as my reference speaker as well.Everything he has said about them is true, and in addition, I find that after committing to Soundlab in 198... | |
| Cables that make no sense... Pbb, my only suggestion is to NOT use Energizer batteries. That damn rabbit's constant drumming is never on beat with the software in play. | |
| Enigma "Love Sensuality Devotion GH" Even better Garfish, if you have ever seen this singer on video, it would certainly enhance the listening experience. Kate Bush always did that for me as well, unfortunately "The Whole Story" has not made it to DVD from Laser Disk. | |
| Tweaks break-in period ? Maybe you overlook the obvious. To listen to the new BDR feet, you had to move the interconnect, speaker wires and power cable. Perhaps you even disconnected the AC for a brief period. All of these could be responsible for the big change in charac... | |
| How BIG is yours? Unfortunately Cornfed, yes is the answer. | |
| How BIG is yours? At last inventory, my LP collection was about 5,000. The CD and SACD's amount to only a few hundred. What is more important than quantity is the quality of the collection. If I were ask to be totally honest and remove any LP's from my collection t... | |
| Enigma "Love Sensuality Devotion GH" Is this the one that is advertised on television and offers the opportunity to order a DVD? I have seen the ads and have been tempted, as I remember the French girl dancing in old MTV videos. | |
| Which subs are best for home theater? Marakanetz, does that accomplish the job of getting the air moving?Do you find it difficult to integrate with the main course? Which direction does the main pressure come from, front or downward?Hope these questions are not too technical. | |
| What are you doing with your tax return? I owed $5600.00 and my wife let me pay it without any objections. I wish I had some stock to sell, the attack on NYC has seriously affected the advertising market, not the least of which, my airline customer. | |

| Altec studio monitors You may visit the site link I have provided below for information on this speaker. Most likely the Cerwin Vega was used as a cost savings when the original Altec bass driver failed. Neither brand driver in this cabinet will produce flat bass much ... | |
| LP storage cubes Container Store carries various colored "milk crates" that are stackable cubes, although these are very informal and made of plastic. Inexpensive wood crates were sold by LP stores such as Peaches records, that looked boxes for fresh produce. If y... |
