| Amp stands- Do they work? Thank you Garfish, your response was excellent, I wish I had written it. The blind testing itself can become the object of the session, especially if the goal is to prove ones intellectual superiority. I personally am interested in learning from m... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Nanderson, perhaps you live close enough to me to listen at my place. I can assure you that if you have not ever heard benefit from stands or other forms of isolation under amps, then you have an interesting experience ahead of you. In fact if you... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music I just received this today, the Classic Records Numbered Limited Edition of Jimi Hendrix Singles. They are 45 RPM, 7" singles with "printed to look like spindle adaptors" in place. They come boxed in what looks like a 11 inch tall Marshall guitar ... | |
| Amp stands- Do they work? Yes, agree with Mazort and others. My stands are several types of construction, depending on the component. 6061 Aircraft alloy, tig welded (non Magnetic), filled with silica for the phono. Steel, Sound Anchors, with Simply Physics feet under stan... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube I purchased tubes from Ned at Triode as far back as five or six years ago. Yes, Ned does indeed know what he is talking about, but at last discussion, he was unable to provide some of the REALLY rare and hard to find tubes I was purchasing. IE: Te... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Timwat, If you pursue high end audio like you do music, you should assemble a truly world class system. I have some of your choices, including Robert Fripp's work, "Lone Rino", "League of Gentlemen," and his help with The Roches. I will look for "... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music As my posting says, "why you love them. Sonic excellence, musical and emotional content, or maybe just fun and memories." And, you answered, that lately, is was more often on CD. I guess that is the sonic excellence that I ask to be reported on. I... | |
| Long Spk. cable vs. long interconnect The two responses above are correct, based on my experience. I have used mono blocks with short speaker runs for over 15 years. It makes sense to push small level signals from a preamp over long runs than the larger power levels from amps. I am cu... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Timwat, Man! What a music lover! I will have to re read this a few times to take it all in. I have Pat Metheny, Genesis, Gentle giant, King Crimson, Nat King Cole, Diana Krall, and some of Keith Jerrett (If only Jerrett wouldn't HUM along with his... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Tommy, Liked Tower very much. I did not find anything this visit, but will return again soon. I have been going strong on EBAY, they seem to always have multiple titles that I want. I just missed a T Bone Walker, outbid by .50 cents! Anyway, I jus... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Since this particular posting is about music, and not about format, it would be nice if Eldragon expanded on his comments. It appeared to me that the Mozart "Requiem" Berliner Philharmoniker with Claudio Abbado on DG label was the winner, and on C... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Carl, your a man after my own taste! That goes for Sarah, Jennifer Warnes, and Meg Ryan all three. I could hear two great voices and just looking at Meg Ryan is music enough! If you find a source of Mirrorball it would be wonderful. And, yes, I do... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music I have been looking for "Mirror ball" by Sarah Mclachlan, on vinyl. I don't even know if it exists. Any help on locating this would be greatly appreciated! | |
| Speaker break in time. The Purist Audio Design system enhancer CD contains all the sounds necessary to completely break in the speakers, wire, caps, and crossover parts. Months later, after you have forgotten about your break in problems, a "touch up" of 60 minutes with... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Last night I watched the movie, "The Insider" on DVD (with Al Pacino), and was blown away with the sound track. At the end of the movie, I read the music credits and found the name Elizabeth Fraser, the same person I commented about on 3-16-00, at... |
