| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? The audition that I mentioned wanting to conduct ( posting of April 10 ) happened yesterday. My friend and his wife brought their Sony 777 ES for a test against my Sony 9000 ES. Part of this session included a regular from my Tuesday night group w... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? My sincere thanks to Redkiwi and the others here that are as obsessed with the music as I am. I was afraid I would open this thread tonight and see a big bloody battle again. It is SO nice to see familiar names and sensible data posted on this sub... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? 702, you are obviously coming from different side of the business. Our request for you to discuss your choices in equipment is to determine whether you actually listen to music. If you are blessed to hear exclusively live performances, then that i... | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? Dekay, I never met her, and would gladly trade about a half dozen of those (in rock and roll) that I have met in trade for your experience. She is one of a handful of artist that I have never grown tired of, in spite of the many changes she has en... | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? Dekay, I run Joni's voice through my speakers all the time, and can verify the purity of what your oscilloscope measures. The one thing that you and I can appreciate that the oscilloscope cannot, are the vivid images she constructs. They may not b... | |
| White Audio Labs B2 or A100 Amp. Opinion Can anyone tell me why my truthful experience ( I was first to reply to this post ) earned me negative votes? I gave a very positive description of this product, and made a suggestion as to the possibility of repair options, should a problem arise... | |
| White Audio Labs B2 or A100 Amp. Opinion If the A100 is the amp I am thinking of, I heard it several times on several systems. I am slightly fuzzy on the details, as this was quite some time ago. It ran very hot, and sounded incredible for it's size and price. The only complaint I ever h... | |
| Music trivia anyone? Oh, forgot to say. I gave a +2 for both of you for your expert answers. This was promised in the rules set by David 99. | |
| Music trivia anyone? Rcprince, correct on Cindi Lauper for Peewees Playhouse music. And Estrnad, very observant! Yes to Clockwork Orange on Heaven 17, a wonderful film by my favorite director, in "2001" and every other year. | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? I remember his amazing release in the 1960's summertime. I was day labor, painting buildings to make money for college. "Like a Rolling Stone," the first single release to be aired that ran for more than about two minutes. Each time it came on, we... | |
| How to magnetically shield a speaker???? Texas Instruments makes a heavy metal material called TI shield, it is designed to do just what you are asking about. It is available from Mike Percy audio products. If I remember correctly, I paid less than $20.00 for a one foot square section of... | |
| Deflex Panel Impressions and Experiences Totally agree Sean, and accurately stated. | |
| How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own? I have at least 3, 600 LP's, but only about 250 CD titles. I had well over 2000 CD's when I was trying to make it the reference format for my system. I have until recently, continued to sell off the CD collection, retaining only the ones I cannot ... | |
| Deflex Panel Impressions and Experiences I installed the Deflex panels in a pair of sub woofers manufactured by Fosgate. These units employed the LE14 JBL drivers, and were designed to be downward firing. I was using these with two separate transistor mono amps, rated at 200 watts each. ... | |
| amp and speakers break in Acoustic Energy speakers will probably require 100 to 150 hours minimum, before they are as smooth, extended and dynamic as they need to be. I don't know on the amps, but would be surprised if they don't require at least as much as the speakers, p... |
