Listening Fatigue
Stehno,"Bombaywalla, you make some interesting points".Looks like you conceded....but in what a way!!(Man, you have absolutely NO humility! And, your arrogance is unparalleled!)  
Listening Fatigue
Nighthawk,Well, technically you are correct & thanks for pointing this out. I'm aware of this but I discarded the concept for my post because:- My post was with reference to context where I referred to Stehno's 8-27-04 post. I referred to Steh... 
Listening Fatigue
Stehno,In your original post of 8-27-04 explaining the what a "proper" line conditioner should do:(1) is the result of (2). (1) does not stand a line conditioner design objective by itself rather it is the result of successfully attaining the goal... 
Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables?
Dodgealum,From my personal experience I'd recommend that you stay away from the Kimber Hero. The sound from this cable is bloated in the bass & rolled off in the highs. The mids are average (the best represented in this cable). There were many... 
Listening Fatigue
In addition to what Tireguy wrote, I also feel that speakers contribute to listening fatigue: If the power output from the drivers is not matched correctly (due to incorrect choice of drivers &/or ill-designed xover) then one or more area of t... 
Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable
Chopsrr,The Dynavector 10X5 is also a very good cartridge from what I have read (no personal experience tho). I do not know if the Dynavector can be aligned using just the 2 screws provided for the fixed holes on the MMF-5 headshell. The alignment... 
Importance of Power Conditioner?
Stehno,WTF! I feel that you are totally out of line here! Trying to pick a fight when there isn't one. I feel that if you have nothing useful to add to Cdc2's question then don't say anything. And....if you DO really want to fight, email me off-li... 
Importance of Power Conditioner?
There is no universal truth to power conditioners (as w/ everything else in audio!). Power conditioners could make a difference in your system BOTH for the better & for the worse. It depends....I agree with Thorman: concentrate on clean power ... 
Burr Brown vs. Wolfson dacs.....
Just FYI: Integra is a brand with a 3-way collobration. Onkyo, Apogee & BAT. Apogee is very well known in the pro equipment world & they have their own site. Well known for DACs & other digital gear. So, you might find some info on Apo... 
Review: Music Hall MMF5 Turntable
No problems while I owned the MMF-5. The cantilever is springy but not very. The static compliance is 16um/mN, which puts it at a medium compliance. I have some warped records that I played on this TT but the 1012GX never "bottomed" out. The whole... 
Which Audio Interconnect would you recommend?
Coachp,No experience w/ QED but I do own the DH Labs BL1 Series II interconnect. For the $99 or less paid for it, it's a very good cable. It is silver-clad copper cable i.e. the core is copper with a silver coating. The Kimber Silver Streak is a l... 
Wadia 302 CD Player- Into power amp directly ?
I run my Wadia thru my tube pre as well. Tried it both ways - I lived w/ each (thru pre & direct) for several weeks before switching back & forth. For me, thru pre is much better.I agree with Lousyreeds1 in that digital volume control take... 
Which Audio Interconnect would you recommend?
Thanks for pointing that out Sean! Looks like I read Coachp's original post rather quickly & missed the point about his wanting interconnects for both situations. Sorry about the rather emphatic post, Coachp!Coachp, if you are willing to take ... 
Which Audio Interconnect would you recommend?
Coachp,I think that you are barking up the wrong tree! You need an interconnect for a subwoofer? The sub will be responding to deep bass from 20Hz-120Hz at the max. Probably you have it x-over lower than 120Hz. What, in the world, are you doing de... 
Threshold T400 bridge or bi-amp?
Musicman159,Altho I might not be able to give you a direct ans, here are my thoughts as a prev. B&W owner:The B&Ws require a lot (& I mean a lot) of power esp. current to make them sing. You probably have already noticed this? Just whe...
