| Review: Running Springs Audio Haley AC filter JohnThanks.I figured you'd like that combo of the Elrod Sig III + a RSA unit. I sure do.... even with SS... as now I've got the Odyssey plugged into the Haley via the Elrod and I'm using a Taipan helix to fuel the Haley itself. I put another Taipa... | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons Johnnyb53 Actually, no, I wasn't really. I was pointing to the less than wide spread use of HDMI on likewise components from makers such as BAT... EMM... Cary... aero ... etc. or any such firm which makes devices that could use HDMI to some degree... | |
| Non-current limiting power conditioners Some definition of 'reasonably priced' might help here.I've posted several reviews on inexpensive power line filters/conds... among them my exp with the RSA Haley has been best in so far as using a lesser seemingly so, restrictive unit. Albeit, ev... | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons I agree with the above statements on HDMI cabling NOT being superior due to pricing or the lableing on them... and true that, online and print mags do seem to side step the direct comparison reviews between them... So what's that say? They've been... | |
| Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment The only cabling I've heard Ayre products run with is Transparent... it wasn't bad, but surely nothing to jump up and down about... so you might want to forget about Transparent wires. Dry and overpriced. ...but then, if you like that sort of thin... | |
| Merle Haggard Album Recommendations I suspect major lables will provide their top draws with top flight recording and mastering gear. Capitol, Columbias, RCA, and others did pretty well with the recordings I've heard from them and going back a good ways too..Try some and see. | |
| Quality Cheater plug?? Maybe... maybe not.I've had a couple balanced systems, and in two completely different homes... one old, one brandy new.going balanced in the old home didn't help. Going that way in the new one was better, yet not dead silent.Another way to quickl... | |
| Review: Bel Canto Design e One DAC III DA converter I sort of figured that actually. I feel however, unless their DAC is one which upsamples, or over samples, perhaps that path is redundant and serving little or no purpose.I'm hard pressed to believe the clock within the Lynx or another sound card ... | |
| Merle Haggard Album Recommendations Beats me. hag is one of a select few for whom, the content is as important as is the fidelity of the recording to me. Usually, I lean towards the well recorded aspect of music over content, save for artists such as Merle... and others of course.In... | |
| Review: Bel Canto Design e One DAC III DA converter I thought about the Lynx ... just not very long. $700 - $1000 is a waste if I've got a DAC worth over twice that amount... and it does more for me than would a sound card.A couple hundred or less? Well, I can justify that more easily... and I need... | |
| Quality Cheater plug?? I simply lifted the ground inside the outlet... it's the green wire. Proceed at your own risk. ... and turn off the braker beforehand to kill the power to that ckt.!!My exp? Done it for years with no probs... usually it stems from the cable/satell... | |
| Merle Haggard Album Recommendations I'm not sure what you mean here.If you mean do the remasters sound good or better than the original LP versions? In general I 'd say so. Country music followed more closer to jazz and pop levels of excellence. yet zs with any genre, there are alwa... | |
| Review: Bel Canto Design e One DAC III DA converter Drubin... yes, yuou are. yes, I have a PC. Two desktops and one Vista laptop. Waht I was wondering was what sort of power cord you had on your DAC (s). The thinking was perhaps that might be accounting for the 'plasticy' sound... beats me. I just ... | |
| Interconnect cable upgrade disapointment I'm not a fan of using a CDP to run in wires with. Not at all. Something with moving parts, especially my main source? Nope. I use the cable box, or my 400 CDP unit, and alternate between the two.I figure why waste the main source? there's only so... | |
| Merle Haggard Album Recommendations there are plenty of somgwriters in this world, some are special indeed. then there are songwriters' songwriters. Dylan, Prine, W. Nelson... and Merle.merle Haggard has to be a songwriters' songwriter. No question. Despite the constraints of the 'c... |
