| What's your profession? Age? I'm just guessing that Rolling is not one of the fed ex or ups drivers we see on the news tossing boxes over fences etc. | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Jumper Direction? Elizabeth has a valid point, although I might suggest that the upstream components don't necessarily suck, they just don't synergize with the Maggies. And certainly, like most speakers, they won't work in every room. Environments with RFI/EMI issu... | |
| Magnepan 3.7 Jumper Direction? Dpmolino, I also made some jumpers for my 3.7s out of Anticable wire. They were really pretty good, and were certainly better than those things Magnepan supplies. I had some Audio Magic Liquid Air jumpers custom made, and they were another step up... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Newly retired chemist, 61 in June, Homeless bum in training. Schubert, we need to get you a spot on late night TV. You are far more entertaining than the existing highly paid, hardly homeless, bums. | |
| Modwright LS100/KWA-100SE or Cary SLP05/CAD211? It sounds like you are on your way to a killer system. I am a long time fan of both ModWright and Cary, but I have heard neither preamp/amp pair you are considering. What I will suggest you consider is this. Once you get to the level you are talki... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Mitch, That is still up in the air. We haven't picked out a place yet. We are looking at houses with roughly the same sq ft as our present place. An appropriate room for listening, isolatable from the dogs, will certainly be a high priority, along... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Thanks so much Pokey. I'm entering a very exciting time of my life. I had planned on staying in Indianapolis for another 8 years or so. Over the last decade, I have watched both of my parents decline with Alzheimer's. I lost Dad about a year ago. ... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Musicpod, Mitch provided the correct answer. That is a little dated. Indianapolis has made great strides forward for the last 3 decades. The downtown area is very nice. The orchestra is very good. There is a wonderful chamber music series. NBA, NF... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Schubert, Our thinking is not so different as it might seem. This is a case of us being at differing points on a sine wave. We are about 10 years out of phase. If I were older, and my knees couldn't take the hiking, living within walking distance ... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Thanks Pokey! There were a number of elements that came together nicely to make my transition to retirement utterly seamless. They most important things i think are to be financially prepared and to have a plan for productive use of time and creat... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners I have always been partial to the eastern mountains, although my sampling of ranges in the western US is rather meager. I have seen the Adirondacks, but never hiked there. I bonded with the Smokies at the tender young age of 4, in August 1957. The... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Richard, the Oppo is another machine, that in my opinion, like the HAPZ1, represents an insane value proposition. Until the HAPZ1 came along it was my intention to go the Oppo/ModWright route. I have no doubt you will not regret your decision. I w... | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Schubert, I noticed that Ferrier's Alto Rhapsody is being reissued on SACD by Praga. It will be available June 2 through Presto. That is on my list of must haves. Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Tomorrow the HAPZ1 ships out to ModWright. These will be my last comments on the sonic attributes of the stock unit. As promised, I relistened to some recordings previously used in an A/B with my ModWright Sony 5400. Specifically, I again A/B'ed t... | |
| What to do with bad recorded CDs I also have a collection of sub par recordings ( excellent performances, however) that stay in my car. If its a bad recording and a bad performance, I give them away.All that said, as my system has improved, I have found that I have fewer and fewe... |
