| How Much Time do You Surf on Audiogon? about 90 min of a 60 min lunch hour (yep you read that right) and about 15 minutes every hour while I'm at work. About 1-4 hours after work during the week and 4-6 hours a day on the weekends. (this is audiogon and audio asylum combined). I guess ... | |
| Tube power amp - keep on continually? This is just my guess, but if left on 24/7, I bet you'd chew through amplifier output tubes every six months. With normal 1-4 hour listening sessions then leaving the amps off when not in use I imagine you'd get 2 years out of a set of output tube... | |
| Home brew cleaning solution I'm with Photon46.If I could make stuff that makes vinyl as quiet as RRL fluids for a fraction of the price, I would. I tried some DIY and tried some of the various commercial fluids, and none of them gave me vinyl as quiet as RRLs. My $0.02. It's... | |
| The music companies do something wrong No such thing is 'copy protected' CDs. nearly all of those should be referred to as 'playback restricted' since that is what they really are. Also you can't really call them 'CDs' or 'compact discs' or redbook anymore since they are a different be... | |
| Best JBL's you have heard ditto, old hartfields. | |
| "I am there" vs. "They are here" How do you fit a symphony orchestra in your listening room? Same thing with overloaded marshall stacks? I strive for the "you are there" thingy myself. I echo milkman's sentiments. but in reality what you get is a window into a larger recording ve... | |
| Correlation: Money and Good Sound No way. I do not like the sound of NAD amps. I would rather have something else used, (tube gear) for 2-3 times the price of NAD equipment, like you state. but in general I get the 'jist of what you are saying. But why the rant today? Just curious... | |
| Which CD side to touch the plastic sleeve? I never let the originals leave my listening room, and they always stay in the jewl cases. That seems to be the best way to insure that they stay near mint. But when traveling or in the case, I use burned CD-R copies in those plastic & cotton ... | |
| Whats is 'tube rolling'? Keep on rollin' baby .. you know what time it is. | |
| KT90 experience? yep. sound with KT90s in my quicksilver silver monos is more punch, solidarity, better bass, leaner, more neutral - and yes feels like more power. I've only compared them to chinese valve art KT88. It wsa my first KT88 tube roll and I have no reas... | |
| Universal Remotes for hifi components? ROTFLMAO at the thought of an audiophile using a weemote on a high-end stereo. I think I understand your concern! | |
| EMM Transport V. Meitner Phillip Transport Ah, trying to determine if the CDSD and DCC2 are the 'be-all-end-all' of digital front ends and linestages, are we? ;-) I'm not sure the stereo world is quite there yet, but the at least we are ever inching closer. | |
| Seas' Thors kit up N runnin gallo nucleus reference, the older two or three ball affair. not sure about the 75 pound weight though. will have dynamics with 26wpc SET. maybe less. | |
| What tubed preamp that is not too fussy ? transcendent grounded grid. | |
| Universal Remotes for hifi components? Theo - check out the home theather master MX-500. It's very similar to the marantz rc2000. i had the rc2000 mki once. roommatehad a mx500. it was pretty good. i preferred the black lighting, battery life, and IR signal strength of teh mx-500 over ... |
