| Unintended lyrics That's hilarious, Hack. Oh, but I do miss Jeffloistarca. | |
| Jolida JD100 better that the Rega Planet 2000? Based upon your sonic requirements--and genre preferences--I would suggest trying either the Sylvania 5751 or Telefunken 12AX7. Others can chime in with suggestions, but I think either of these will answer to your stated needs. E-mail me privately... | |
| Jolida JD100 better that the Rega Planet 2000? Nick,Here is some recent discussion on tubes for that player: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1112895895&read&keyw&zztubes+jd-100The 12AX7 is said to last around 10,000 hours in that player. When a tube goes bad, you ... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 It's like my mom told me long ago,"If the sex is good, it makes up about 2% of the relationship. And if it's not good, it becomes the other 98% in a hurry."That's my metaphorical offering for the day. Feel free to take it and run. | |
| Unintended lyrics It's pretty easy to hear the "rich fag jew" line at the end of "Baby You're a Rich Man", which was in reference to Brian Epstein. "I need a one ton tomato." How many times did I hear that Juan Tanamera (sp?) song performed on the NYC subway? I los... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Grant,Thanks for the clarification. I thought maybe you were retaliating for my snide comment about BMW's. Only joking, as I'm sure you knew.It may make no sense to others, but I give equal weight to every part of an audio system. I've found that ... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 Grant,I don't think that the power cord actually generates all of those qualities. Alex (APL) actually spoke to this process while we were auditioning his player. He said, "The player isn't going to find something that is not already on the record... | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John,I always figure why not try something out, especially when you can resell it for around the same price if not satisfied? If you are looking for natural and accurate, then I would say you have chosen an excellent player in the APL. And in my e... | |
| Unintended lyrics Honest1,Are you referring to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana? | |
| Mating power cords with APL 3910 John,As a musician who has listened to many hours of studio playback, I would say that our home system goal is to hear that replicated as closely as possible. Ironically, I think that the closer you get to that, you actually begin to hear the limi... | |
| Unintended lyrics Grunts and growls mostly, Nrchy, but I still like him. Make me laugh just thinking about all of those passages that sound like one long mumbled word, or like the first couple of REM albums. What IS Michael Stipe saying? Anyone's guess, I suppose. ... | |

| Mating power cords with APL 3910 We are using an Electraglide Mini Khan Plus with our APL 3910. Open, airy, spacious & revealing is the way I would describe the sound. Obviously, all components contribute to the finished product, but if I work backwards on this list below, I ... | |
| Good percussion Richard's post reminded me of a CD with some of the best percussion and intricate, weaving rhythms that I've heard:Youssou N'Dour "Immigres"As he also mentioned, Brazilian music has some killer percussion. Along with the artists mentioned above, I... |
