| interconnect choice KCAG has the same wire in both balanced/XLR and unbalanced/RCA versions---all three legs of silver in both versions. Balanced/XLR and unbalanced/RCA Silver Streak, on the other hand, are different from each other. Balanced/XLR Silver Streak has tw... | |
| Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses. "It's how the wire of the conductor is manufactured that determines it's sonic directionality"."Obviously unless the cable manufacturer keeps track of the directionality of all wire the result will not be satisfactory"."All wire is physically asym... | |
| BARNES & NOBLE HAS VINYL!!!!! BUT IS THE QUALITY UP TO AUDIOPHILE STANDARDS ???? The poster/posting assumes and implies that the LP's sold at Barnes & Noble are unique to B & N. They are not; the LP's in the B & N racks are the same as those sold at all other retailers. B & N doesn't get LP's pressed expressly ... | |
| QUALITY AND SECURITY OF "LITTELFUSE" PRODUCTS Thank you Roger! John Lennon: "Just give me some truth. All I want is some truth". | |
| interconnect choice If the cable is balanced with XLR's, Kimber's Silver Streak is as good as KCAG. The SS uses silver for both positive and negative legs, and copper for ground. The single-end/RCA version, on the other hand, has silver as the positive leg only, copp... | |

But let me point out that the op's request was for suggestions of "acoustic Folk inspi... | |
| Technical question on phase inversion. To complicate matters, the drivers in many loudspeakers are wired in various states of inverted polarity relative to one another. Vandersteen famously are not, all drivers in them being wired in the same polarity and crossed-over with 1st order fi... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music The line between Folk, Hillbilly, and Bluegrass is not real clear. It's hard to know what someone else is thinking of when they say Folk. At one time it even included Rev. Gary Davis, Leadbelly, and Mississippi John Hurt. | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? Ha! I watched the documentary Anderson Cooper did on his Mother, Gloria Vanderbilt. Her second husband was conductor Leopold Stokowski, and there were some pics of him on stage, hair flying all over the place. I think that look was very common amo... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music Tift is so relaxed and comfortable live, isn't she Slaw? Saw her at the Troubadour opening for Lucinda---good show!One guy who "went" Folk after being in a Power Pop/Garage Rock band I liked a lot (The Plimsouls) is Peter Case. T-Bone Burnett prod... | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Ah, the great Louis Jordan---good one Marty! He and Big Joe Turner were playing Rock 'n' Roll in the late 40's, and is what Elvis and the rest of them Southern white boys were listening to alongside their Hillbilly 78's. I played in a Jump Blues/S... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Yeah yeah, Mink DeVille! I saw him live once, also at The Roxy, and he was really cool---lotsa style, great voice. I love his version of Moon Martin's "Cadillac Walk". |
