| Ring radiator tweeters - the future? as Kal stated, this technology is old. 2ndly, I certainly hope & do not think that it will replace silk domes - I've heard it a few times now in Polk Audio speakers where they sound nearly as tizzy & incisive as the metal dome speakers &am... | |
| Does "ripping" quality improve if you......... yes, Edesilva, so far all my CDs play. I can't say what'll happen in the future. maybe being a vinyl guy helps? | |
| Does "ripping" quality improve if you......... Edesilva,"Actually, I was talking about CDs bought off the shelf. I've got several CDs that won't play in my DV50s, my Theta David, or my Sony."Now, this is interesting! I've never had this happen to me w/ CD originals bought off the shelf! And, m... | |
| Does "ripping" quality improve if you......... Edesilva,"Virtually everyone has had CDs that are unreadable or skip in even high end transports."yes, I can believe this. However, I do not believe that this is an error during data read (which is what I wrote in my post. An error during data rea... | |
| KT-88's better than EH ... I thing I've learnt: one brand of tubes that works well in one amp NOT NECESSARILY works as well in another brand of amp! Ken, if you can search the archives here or AA or elsewhere & find out which tubes best/better suit your particular amp, ... | |
| Does "ripping" quality improve if you......... I agree w/ Kjg when he says "...it isn't likely that the tweaks you mentioned will have any impact on the ripped files" but for a different reason (not "My best guess would be that because of the advantages of the ripping process...").I had a disc... | |
| No way,No how,Never will... LOL, Usblues!!I remember the dialog from Star Wars where Darth Vader has brought Luke Skywalker in front of the Darth Vader's Master. From the port hole Luke sees his rebellion force being decimated & the Master senses this & says"resistan... | |
| Nirvana SX-Ltd vs Jena Labs Symphony Ach, another Symphonic Line user! Very nice to see that & also read that you like its sound. 2 un-related questions - is your garage port always THAT clean? &, is your car, also, always THAT clean?whoever does your cleaning, send them my w... | |
| Sony scd xa777es vs scd777es one correction to Chuck's post - the SCD-777ES *has* balanced analog outputs (my friend owns one & uses the balanced out to feed a MSB Platinum DAC). RCA analog output also exists. | |
| Montana Owners NY/NJ/PA I've heard Ozzy62's setup too once w/ his orig pair of Montanas (which are b-a-c-k!) & once w/ another famous brand of speakers. The Montana SP2 were definitely outstanding in reproducing sound from his playback system. I'm happy to read that ... | |

| Where Can I Find Good CES Coverage? Audio Federation,awesome pictorial coverage! many thanks!wish (really, really wish) that you would have put a 1-line caption below each pix to let us know who the audio manuf(s) were. There are several pieces of gear I recognize but there are many... | |
| Threshold amps well, the last part of Unsound's post is correct - the new Thresold amps are made in China. Threshold is now HQ'd in Houston, TX (if I remember correctly). CES2006 coverage in one of the emagazines is where I read the manuf in China bit. | |
| Jena Labs owners- Speaker cable +/- spacing? I have more modest cables than your Jena Labs (I have TARA Labs Master gen II) which also have separate + & - runs. There is some guidance in the manual about running then alongside each other (touching) & twisting them (a certain # of twi... | |
