| Happy Thanksgiving to All! What?? Thanksgiving was last month. October 9th. 🤣 But best wishes all the same. | |
| Interesting video on cables That was a fascinating video. It's hard for me to comprehend the amount of engineering and execution that Apple has put into a $130 cable. It makes the long video Cardas produced to show how they produce their speaker cable, seem somewhat unimpr... | |
| Ideas for Pre/Power $9000? @lfromsalem Might I suggest you look for a used Hegel H390. Should be able to find at half you budget? Beautiful integrated amp with very good DAC. IMHO | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning @lnitm I use an ultrasonic machine with a tank of Distilled water, a cap full of Spin-Clean washer fluid MK3, about 2 drops of Mr. Clean and a 1/2 cap full of Kodak Photo-Flo 200. The photo-flo causes the water to sheet off without any spotting... | |
| BEST little know Jazz Album that you ever heard? There are so many, but for Chet Baker fans, the double CD "Blue Room". Recorded in Holland in 1979 but as far as I know, only just released in 2023. Chet's playing is superb and the recordings are excellent. IMHO one of his best. | |
| The Intricate Dance: Loudspeakers, Human Hearing, and Room Acoustics I know Foley is selling a product, and his views are not shared by all. Having said that, I've always enjoyed his short presentations and feel there are lots of good take aways in his presentations. Would I build an entire room based on quadrati... | |
| Amplifier Specification questions @curiousjim You got to love the way Hegel answers our questions. 😆 | |
| magnepan When I bought my panels from SoundLab, it was four months of orders in front of me. They must be going out too. 🤣 | |
| Help! Vinyl Pressing Defects? And that's why I like Amazon. Returns with no questions asked. I can't count the number of new LP's I've sent back due to poor pressing. At today's prices, I will not accept any clicks & pops on a new LP. | |
| Accessing Audiogon securely. @czarivey I use Express VPN and have no issues connecting to Audiogon. Also had no issues using the ProtonMail VPN. | |
| Advent Christmas music ranges from ubiquitous elevator to bespoke. What stirs your senses? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRXG8xoeXXk Joe Satriani playing Silent Night. 7:22 of pure brilliance. IMHO | |
| Steely Dan UHQR @drmuso I was only repeating what was said in the interview with the guy who mastered the original LP. No idea if it's correct. Cheers. | |
| Steely Dan UHQR I listened to the entire interview, and while there was a reference to TT's, I don't believe he was saying they tuned down the quality due to poor quality equipment. He said they didn't go to extremes and produce a groove that was only readable b... | |
| Steely Dan UHQR "He talks about how they had to modify the sound of albums in the past so they would play on crappy turntables" Really? That sounds like a lot of marketing BS to me. We didn't have quality TT and cartridges when Aja was recorded? Color me cyni... |
