| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction Good point Mapman. Here's a serious comment. Just replaced the old worn-out "listening" sofa in my basement. The new "listening" seat is a reclining leather love seat. When listening to music, I notice that the love seat picks up a lot of bass ene... | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead Thanks Wtf. Just a P.S. to an earlier post. I listed again to my recently purchase Mofi "Gold" reissue "Cars" HDCDs. Do they sound better than vinyl? I dunno know. Do they sound better than the usual run of the mill redbook CDs you can pick up at ... | |
| Anyone know anything about new VPI Classic 3 arm? Brf, my Classic 3 wand is 100% stainless steel. The wire is silver Nordost, which is fine by me. I wonder if the black shrink wrap makes much of a difference? Brf, any changes in the Classic 3 tone arm base? | |
| Ayre V-5xe pops off/Manley Shrimp Interesting speculation. I recall reading a somewhat energetic exchange of posts between Ralph (Atmasphere) and another member concerning whether a linestage or pre can leak DC. Ralph was quite adamant that should never happen. If the DC leakage s... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic Ha ha. I remember that. Jeez ... we are old farts. | |
| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction Liz ... I was hoping you'd chime in. Did you or any of the other listeners wear aluminum foil hats too? | |
| 2014 CES News: ARC Showcases New CD-6 Djcxxx, thanks for the comments. Do you think the redbook CD "side of the house" in the Ref CD-9 is basically the same CDP as the Ref CD-8? Ever get a chance to check out the CD-9? Djcxxx, unless you or someone else could persuasively convince me ... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic Hey Swampy ... , when you say toast, is that white bread toast (ala the Blues Brothers) or whole wheat toast?? :-) | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic Doug, does it sound reasonable that my Kleos stylus only shows about 10-percent wear after 1500+ hours of use. Frankly, I'm quite surprised. I always thought 2000 hours was pretty much the best one could usually expect. | |
| 2014 CES News: ARC Showcases New CD-6 Mitch ... the CD-6, like its bigger brother, the Ref CD-9, has quad chips in mono mode, or something like that. I believe the DAC 8 has a similar topology. Aside from the topology difference, the CD-6/9 can upsample and supposedly has a broader ba... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic P.S. Jonathan -- I was without my Kleos for about 2 and a half weeks. Most of the time delay related to the mails. While the cartridge was offline, I used my backup cartridge. The difference between the two was quite stark. However, after my Kleos... | |
| Andy Kim - Needle Clinic Thanks for chiming in Jonathan. You posted that "Lyra does not retip its phono cartridges - we only do rebuilds (and adjustments as mentioned in the first paragraph). If a Lyra cartridge is worn to an extensive degree and/or damaged, it will be fu... | |
| Need a warm amp for bright speakers Thanks Al. Just thinking out of the box a little. I wonder out loud if flipping the 6/8 ohm switch changes the amp's sweet spot where it is best able to deliver "clean" power (watts) under the two loads ( 6 versus 8 ohms). Frankly Al, I think the ... | |

| Can a tiny silver bowl affect music reproduction Well ... the meds help too. LOL :) :) |
