| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Thanks Slawney and Tubegroover. I am actually not very political. My actions are conservative, in that I believe every voice has a right to a turn. And Liberal, in that I try not to judge what each person has to say, particularly if I lack experie... | |
| Worst Music of All-Time Tubegroover, I did not like the song, nor did I know the answer or the history. What follows is copied and pasted from our friends at AMG. Hope this clears it all up. Starland Vocal Band dominated American airwaves during the Bicentennial summer o... | |
| WOOLCOT AMPS - Anybody heard these? I already asked Hank about other octal based tubes, such as the 6L6 and KT88, and he said that he was uncertain that the auto bias circuit would accommodate these tubes. I have a friend who is an amp designer, who said that there was an old milita... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Slawney, I hope that my system being the most perfect example of a "federative government" of components and accessories is a good thing. I admit that I don't know what that means. I do know that it works very well, but like all things, probably w... | |
| Using a demagnitizer on compact Discs? If a CD disc were so perfectly engineered, that there was not a single microscopic scrap of magnetic material anywhere in its formation, I suspect that the demag would not help. That being said, I know for a fact that you CAN hear the effects of t... | |
| Home Theatre - Hoax or Substance? I am a truly dedicated two channel guy, but would never hesitate to switch on my 5.1 channel for movies. Would I listen to music in 5.1? No, I would not. But if ask, "do you enjoy the 5.1 channel presentation during these movies?" Yes, I do! 5.1 i... | |
| Is 2hz/100khz better sound than 20/20? I may just be jaded, but I think the warning is a sales pitch, to warn (promote) to audiophiles the "awesome bandwidth" of the SACD. I suspect that the material on the recording will not be any burden to the equipment at all. Real music cannot del... | |
| Speaker Rebuilding It may still be possible to repair your speakers, using the original components. I met some of the German engineers from Kirksaeter at the CES this last year. This company built amplifiers and preamps as well, and imported into the United States a... | |
| Best electrostatic in smaller room? Please help! I agree with Jazzman about the Soundlabs (what I own), and with John_1 on the Maggies. Both are excellent choices in electrostatic design. Carl is correct about some cone speakers being excellent, but your topic is close to my heart in asking abou... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? Martin Logan is actually a very late comer to the electrostatic industry. Soundlab has been in business about twice as long, and Quad of England is the unofficial grandfather of the industry. If you wish to brag on Martin Logan for cosmetics and m... | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's Garfish, I had wondered about your post name too. I clearly remember as a young boy, when my friends and I used to go fishing. We would often see Gar in the water, just enough below the water to make it difficult to judge their actions. That parti... | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! Tubegroover, it takes courage to tell a story like you did. Your love for your other family members, including the feathered ones is an insight to your personality. I can just imagine you dancing to music you love and enjoying the birds who are re... | |
| Best Garfish, excellent posting about Richard's great speakers. When you look at the line up of two way $10K speakers that exist in the world, and then look at the design, construction and value in the Vandersteen 2 series, it makes you wonder how anyo... | |
| WOOLCOT AMPS - Anybody heard these? Wolcott amps The best tube amps? Is the original posting by Snook2, on 01-27-00. To get there you must click the "next 50" postings button three times. The last posting was on 09-03-00. Hope this helps. | |
| The best and worst Audiogon poster's I really appreciate those of you who have read my postings and consider them of value. However, opinions are like music, some pieces appeal to a large audience and some to only a few. I enjoy reading almost all of the comments from the posters at ... |
