| Listening Room Dimensions... I'm building one and need your help @bdp24 He uses it in the construction of his cables I did not know that. I don't have any Cardas cables. Maybe I should try one? | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @bdp24 I liken it to chewing foil ;-) . Yep. That's about right. FWIW it shows a Telecaster on the cover. Same on the "Cold Snap" album. But Tele and Strat have the same family relationship. I'm not as familiar with the Tele. As a drummer, I he... | |
| Listening Room Dimensions... I'm building one and need your help I agree with @bdp24 about the golden ratio though I don't think Cardas was its inventor. It goes back to BC time and is found a lot in nature. I'm going from memory now so ...You can google it | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Collins, Cray & Copeland - "Showdown"I sure wish Albert Collins had used a different amp or settings or thicker strings. The tone certainly stands out and leans toward bright. But he IS heard | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? @vegasears Ever hear of bleach? Disinfectant? Those tools in the dentists office are used in many mouths before they get used in your...of course, that is IF you go to the dentist@cleeds I would never recommend anyone buy used cartridges. I'm gla... | |
| Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!! OK, so I let the amp run several hours yesterday before listening last night. Bottom line, no strange noises last night. Everything come together nicely. I do believe these tubes are burnt in now. Sounds good. | |
| Record mishaps Bought a nice NM early pressing of Blind Faith at Goodwill many years back. I was cleaning it prior to play and it slipped out of my hand and the grading dropped to an F just that quick. | |
| Are 500 hours too many for a used hi-end cartridge? Buying used cartridges is akin to buying used record albums. You must be careful and screen both the cartridge and the seller IMO. What does the stylus look like under magnification? Does the seller have good vinyl practices? 500 hrs is on the cus... | |
| Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!! One week of break in. I've played 2-3 hrs every night. Some nights 4 or more. I'd guess I have at least 15 hrs on these tubes....probably 20. I still question these tubes. Everything is good except vocal placement is recessed but not all the time.... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @reubent I wanted to thank you for the Radio Paradise recommendation in another thread I read. Just tried it and it is nice for hearing new music. Would have messaged you but didn't see that option.arte | |
| What would you buy I’m impressed with what Rel subs do for sound. Not only do they add bass but they add a bigger sound stage and air to your main speakers. They also connect to your speaker output of your amp, making a dedicated sub output unnecessary. I can’t arg... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report I have most all their earlier albums but I’m not sure I realized how good Crack The Sky is until their "Live Sky" album. The musicianship is phenomenal. On one song they flow in and out of different melodies & time changes so smoothly as to m... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Crack The Sky - "Live Sky"What a fantastic band out of Baltimore. Best description I've heard is "Beatles on Steroids" | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report "Dot Com Blues" Jimmy Smith " Live & Kickin' " Savoy Brown" | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @nuttyNice. That was a staple back in the mid 70's. I haven't listened to that in a while. I like "Paper Money" too |
