| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital >>06-17-11: Jdaniel13FWIW my "best" set up was the Scoutmaster with 9" arm<<Now it all makes sense.There are few arms that track as poorly as the JMW-9. And it rings like a bell.IMO | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End Calm down sports fans.If you re-read my posts, this is my position:There is no correlation between a vocalist's physical size/stature and his/her voice. Nothing more and nothing less.It is irrefutable.I never mentioned musical instruments which ar... | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End >>06-16-11: JdorisCould a petite person have a petite voice<<I guess you'd have to ask Celine Dion, Linda Ronstadt (in her younger days), and Barbra Streisand.Next question>>Does a mandolin sound "smaller" than a double bass?<... | |

| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? I could have you audition 10 cables of various compositions and you wouldn't have a clue if they were copper, silver, gold, or a combination. No way, no how.But nobody else could either. The conductor material plays a very minute part in the sonic... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? >>06-11-11: Dave_bpure silver cables are not the most musical choice<<Wrong.Actually the geometry, conductor purity, and dielectric are vastly more germane to the sonic signature than the conductor material itself. | |
| Shuguang Treasure tubes.... >>01-23-11: Pubul57What the heck is a PSVane and where do we get them?Shuguangs's reference line of small signal tubes. Grant Fidelity carries them too<<I just picked up a pair of 12AX7 from an alternate supplier; will fire them up nex... | |
