| Why aren't all CDs created equally? Warrenh,TWL said it exactly!This is the "curse" of hi-end audio! The better your system gets, the more intolerant you get of mass-fi CDs 'cuz the more your system reveals the flaws in the CD recording & mastering process. It is true, to a larg... | |
| How to clean the exterior of an amp? I have chrome finished amps so I can use Brasso (put onto cloth & never directly onto amp). Some elbow grease & the thing shines! Previously for matt finished amps, I used a damp cloth for simple finger prints, 71% alcohol for greasier mar... | |
| Analog Guys: Why Kimber? Here's my perspective after hearing & owning some Kimber Kables:- I think that Ray Kimber produces some good cables for the money. They are reasonably expensive (!) so that the buyer feels that he/she is not buying zip cord & feels that he... | |
| Review: Plinius SA-102 power amp Hi Timchen,I have the Symphonic Line RG4 Mk3 monos. I have NOT compared them to the SA-102. I have also heard the Kraft 250 dual mono stereo at a friend's place. What I can say about the Symphonic Line amps is that there is NO grain in the mids &a... | |
| Shipping company for speakers- any good or bad one Shit guys!!!As we speak BAX Global is shipping speakers to me from CA to NC!!! What "Avguygeorge" & "Cytocycle" have mentioned is giving me a sinking feeling!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It's too late now to do anything (by pray!) since t... | |
| My Dumb Question of the Day Lots of idle chatter & smart alec remarks but no real answer until Wes came to the rescue. Thank you, Wes! Indeed, Jpharris, what you are hearing is shock waves as outlined in the turntablebasics.com website. I was going to reply to this effec... | |
| Amp for Green Mountain Europa Hello Roy,Even tho your post (above) is in the "amp recommendation for Europa speakers" can we assume that the amps & cables recommended by you are applicable to all your speakers? Or do you have some other amps & cable recommendations for... | |
| Bi amping with Tube and Solid State Gmorris,Thanks for the clarification! Sorry for assuming incorrectly. | |
| Bi amping with Tube and Solid State I suppose that "Gmorris" is pointing to my post with his 'It is incredible how people on this forum can make such sweeping, and incorrect generalizations without clarification.' statement!!!However, it should be noted that "Gmorris" has done EXACT... | |
| Bi amping with Tube and Solid State This is what is known as "Fool's Bi-amping"!! It's bi-amping for the sake of bi-amping. While it is true that you might reap some benefits, the hassles of making sure that high & low are matched is perhaps not worth the time & additional e... | |
| Top Secret Ear Tool I too thought that the answer was Q-tips or ear wax removal fluids!That is a nice chart to use giving the listner a complete set of criteria to measure/listen to. Thanks for sharing! | |
| Got Gronebergs with bullet plugs? amandarae,OK. Clear!Actually your setup for comparison is better since you don't have to plug & unplug the DUT cables so often thanks to 2 outputs from the CDP. I suppose you just switch the line input on the pre front panel & you can inst... | |
| Budget musical sub: sealed or vented design.... Hey Phasecorrect,You have made many contributions to that thread "time coherence - how important & what speakers?" & had many 1-1 with Roy Johnson on that thread so you know his engineering is sound. So, how about Green Mountain subs? I kn... | |
| Got Gronebergs with bullet plugs? Amandarae,This thread gets my interest 'cuz I own 2 pairs of Groneberg TS Premiums with the WBT-101 connectors. Just want to clarify one thing: when you are listening to your CD-TT-CD-TT-..... you are listening to both/all cables on the CD, then b... | |
| Need help upgrading speakers........ Hi Scott,Thanks for the replies, which makes things a bit easier. My speaker preferences are somewhat opposite to yours (!) so it might be hard to make good recommendations i.e. it is likely that a non-so laid back speaker will creep into the list... |
