| Can you get great analog sound from analog tape? I get great sound daily from analog tape, playing back anything from production master dubs to factory pre-recorded reels. There are various factors that determine sonics with reel tape, such as: head gap, head quality, tape speed (of course), ele... | |
| George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch Theatre The studio had Wilson's and MIT cabling, the last time I was there. We sat in the theatre briefly, however I'm not sure what speakers were used there. | |
| Do power cords really matter? Many of us do believe that power cords make a difference. Some of us believe that they make a huge difference. My suggestion is that if you are truly interested in knowing/hearing the difference, try borrowing power cords from a few of your audiop... | |
| Outlet shoot out I agree with Garfish. It is impossible to call any one outlet the "Best". I have a combination of FIM outlets and Hubbell outlets in my system. As component changes occur in my system, so do my choices of the combination, making me believe that ou... | |
| Fraud alert Fair warning to Audiogoners. On behalf of all at Audiogon, thank you Glreno, for your valuable information. We all benefit knowing that there are such scams taking place. They show their obvious deceit and intent. Kind regards,Brian Weitzel | |
| Why JVC XRCDs are so expensive? Then again, JVC has a certain reject ratio, based on error rate of CD's produced. They reject those that don't meet their standards. Sounds logical for a company catering towards audiophiles, doesn't it? They also use a higher grade blank than mos... | |
| FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard I've compared against the Acme and found the FIM superior. Tonally, it added great resolve in the bottom end, the richness that Garfish also noticed, while increasing dynamics (both micro and macro). After instaling the FIM, I also immediately not... | |
| FIM 880 AC Outlet-- Best tweak I've ever heard I feel the same, having used various other "audiophile grade" outlets, the FIM is the king. In the event of a fire, I'd save the Wife and Kids, the bottle of Balvenie, then the FIM outlets. I'd definitely need the Balvenie if that happened ... | |
| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? What are the odds? | |

| Amp recommendations to drive Martin Logan Prodigy? I'll second the Tube Research Labs. Aren't you driving Sound Labs with your Tube Research, Kirk? Aren't they a tougher load than the Prodigy? | |
| Non Audiophiles are funny people What's that? A ham radio transmitter? | |
| Maplenoll Mailing Discussion List Thanks Jim. Mapelnoll turntables were/are highly disregarded, perhaps due to some poor reviews in the past. By the way, I'm already on your list. I love my Maplenoll Airiadne Signature! | |
| Amp recommendations to drive Martin Logan Prodigy? I'm with Kirk930. The Tube Research would be your best bet, however, the GT100 Mono-blocks start at $19K. I have a friend that has CLS with GT100's, and it works well.Soundlab has electrostats that start at around $4K, which is less than the valha... | |
| What is stopping the ultimate? Shhhh Albert! Don't drive the price of master dubs up! |
