| Connect dac to Music Hall CD-25 or upgrade? I just wanted to add my two cents worth; as I also use the Music Hall MMF CD-25 in my system. My set-up pairs McIntosh electronics with Thiel 3.5 speakers. I'm really glad that the power cord upgrade was mentioned above; as I will give it a try s... | |
| Transparent Audio cables I have Transparent MusicWave Plus speaker cables in my main system and really enjoy them a lot. I moved up a few months ago from MusicWave to the pluses and found that there was a more open and dynamic sound with the plus. Also, I have noted that ... | |
| What is the best DVD recording medium? Another word of advice. Though I did not mention it in my original post - I own a 13 year video editng and media duplication company. In just the past few months Phillips, Sony & Hewlett Packard have entered the DVD recording market with DVD+R... | |
| Early 1970's rock: Name some of your favorites CREDENCE CLEARWATER FOR SURE!!! - For starters Stew "Heart" Cook - the bass player in CCR was my college roommate and fellow fraternity brother at San Jose State. Doug Clifford - the drummer in CCR lived a few blocks away, and was over at our plac... | |
| What is the best DVD recording medium? Record on DVD-R for inexpensive one time recordings. Record on DVD-RAM discs if you need to re-record material. DVD-R discs manufactured by Maxell, TDK, Apple, and Sony have the lowest data error rates and best quality control. DO NOT get sucked i... | |
| Where have all the protest songs gone? To Brucegel: Many thanks for your caustic remarks about my post. However, I do stand by what I say. I think most so-called "protest songs" are in the same category with tie-dyed t-shirts, bell bottom pants, and other relics of the 1960s. I grew u... | |
| Where have all the protest songs gone? Who cares - except guilt-tripping liberals and tie-dyed people who haven't forgotten the 1960s? I'm not going to waste a cent on some songwriter's lame attempt at social protest. If I buy music, I'll buy it because I enjoy the songs - not the "so... | |
| Saddended by the death of Maurice Gibb Sad to hear of Maurice's passing away at such an early age. It's my understanding that Maurice had previously suffered a heart attack - making additional surgery very risky. I always thought the Bee Gees had a very unique sound. Although I didn't... | |
| Where are you? Do you know what your FM is doing? I live in Tualatin, Oregon - which is a suburb just south of Portland. And I might add, that I deffinately agree with many of Karls remarks above. Uncompressed FM stations in the Portland/Vancouver,WA market are few and far between. As mentioned, ... | |
| UPS strikes again Sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. Yes UPS certainly does screw things up - more often than most of us would care to admit. However - FedEx, Airborne, and the USPS are your other options - and none of them have exactly what I would c... | |
| How to Stand Up for Your Audio Setup ? Must Read I suppose I'm quite lucky. My girlfriend lives with me - but it's my home and long before she got here I had my main system set up in my living room. And I did teach her how to use the tuner and CD player - so she can listen to whatever she likes... | |
| $500 total to get into vinyl, what would you buy? I bought an MMF-5 and a Monolithic Sound PS-1 to transfer some of my old records to CD here at my studio; and the combination is really quite good. In fact, I've now got several people bugging me to transfer old vinyl for them too. The MMF-5 is q... | |
| My wife is so uncool! Ha-Ha-Ha. I deffinately got some good laughs from some of the earlier posts. I guess I'm just lucky - I'm not currently married and my live-in girlfriend likes my main audio system and plays her own CDs at various times. I think it's worth pointi... | |
| Anyone Own Gallo Due Speakers? Many thanks to both of you for taking the time to write down your thoughts about the Gallo Due Speakers. Given the favorable listening session I had here locally, I think I will be buying a pair in white very soon. Your feedback about these amazin... | |
| Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better I agree with the above posts. I am the owner of a media duplication company; and we duplicate CDs, CD-ROMs, and DVDs. Based upon my 13+ years in the commercial audio and video business I think I can say with some certainty that if you want to dupl... |
