| 220 Volt Ciruits I think some of you may be confused. 220 from a appliance outlet (clothes dryer plug), is actually two 110 volt runs, as is the feed to your main breaker box. If you split the 220 into two runs (this is NOT a transformer, but a wiring thing), you ... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Honoluluan, for what it is worth, I was so amazed at the similarity of your response to my own experience, that I failed to notice the errors. Have you tried the Iso Bearings? They are soft like Mod Squad and other "soft" feet, but share the beari... | |
| Does anyone know if neutral cables exist In my opinion, there are no absolutely neutral cables. You cannot transfer audio signal from one place to another without altering it somehow. What you really need is a cable who's signature is neutral enough, that you are not bothered by the bias... | |
| 220 Volt Ciruits This is a common conversion with crews that need power to light for commercial photography. A converter can be made with the large 220 three prong plug on one end, and a box with several 110 volt outlets on the other. There used to be a book publi... | |
| Feelings on Napster? This issue is not all that far beyond my youth, when eager young people would wait for their favorite song to be played by the "hottest" radio station, and they would record it to tape. I realize that with Napster this goes to a new art, being abl... | |
| Viva la Vinyl!! Musikdok, I agree completely about the DCC's. I bought every DCC release of most every artist that I liked. The Ray Charles pressing's are way beyond the majority of his work on every other label I have heard him on. That is saying a lot, as he ha... | |
| Viva la Vinyl!! The newest Santana album is great music, as most of you already know. The recording and engineering is also well done, particularly for a commercial release. The cuts with Dave Matthews are better than many of his own albums, and I love the Everla... | |
| Wolcott amps The best tube amps? A delay in assembly has caused my Wolcotts to be promised late. I just spoke to Hank at Wolcott, and he says one amp is finished and tested completely, and the second amp is fully assembled and in "burn in." The hope is to ship via Federal Express... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? David99. My remark about hearing analog when you listen to real music, means live acoustic music, not the giant stereo system on stage at a concert. Although, it is also possible to hear analog from those systems as well. You can also hear analog ... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Slawney, who ever you are, your impressions of the SACD are nearly identical with my own. I did not hear it at the Frankfurt show, but did at CES in Vegas. I especially agree about the Sony people wanting to sell this to us, and the presence, or h... | |
| Walker High Definition Links Walker HD links are a small wooden box, maybe 2" X 1" X 1/2". They have two small silver wires with silver spades soldered on, and they go "across" the plus and minus lugs on the speakers, where amp connection is made. They retail for $300.00, and... | |
| Walker High Definition Links I use them, and would not take them from my system for twice what I paid for them. If you get a chance to try them, I think you will be shocked at what they do. | |
| Worst Audio Injury !! Garfish, this is the first situation I have ever heard of, where Richard Vandersteen was "foiled" in his attempt to build a speaker that was the "cats meow." | |
| Best Vanishing speakers The absolutely best "disappearing" loudspeakers are the ones that sound good, then priced reasonably, and posted for sale at Audiogon. | |
| Speakers: all-time worst I think this particular group of responses is a fine break in an otherwise pretty serious group of postings. Thank goodness Mr. Bose made so much money selling his product to the general public, otherwise, we would not have nearly so much fun here... |
