| Favorite Telarc releases..... Mahler 3rd. Jesus Lopez-Cobos. Wonderful in every respect. | |
| What fits well with Magnepans? I have 1.6 QR's driven by McCormack DNA-1 deluxe monoblocks. Prior to the monoblocks, I used a DNA 0.5. Based on my experience, I think you will do well to head the conventional wisdom on Maggies. More power will take them to a whole different lev... | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? Well, I kind of enjoy football! I'm also into gardening, hiking, and bird watching. | |
| Anyone try McCormack DNA + Placette Passive? I am currently using a Promitheus Ref 4 TVC a with an older pair of passive friendly DNA-1 monoblocks. The Ref 4 is much better in every respect than either the McCormack TLC-1 or Endler resistor based volume controls I used previously. The Ref 4/... | |
| Used Maggies Photon's advice is bang on from my experience. I have 1.6's in a room that is essentially identical in size to yours. I needed to deaden the corners behind the speakers and pull them out about 5-6 ft to make them work. I had to work to at getting ... | |
| Goodbye CD's I heard on the radio yesterday that Archive's CD sales were up 30% last year. I'm guessing CD sales on classical will have some staying power, since classical sales in the US and Europe are still holding up well. On the other hand, it appears that... | |
| Schumann Resonance and it's effect on music Ya, sure, everyone has opinions. I have no opinions on the device itself or its ability to improve reproduction of music. I do have opinions regarding some of the statements you quoted above that at first glance appear ridiculous. For instance, th... | |
| What does more power do for Magnepans? I've had 1.6's for eight years. During that time, I went from a 200 wpc Adcom to a 100 wpc McCormack DNA-0.5. The DNA 0.5 was a better amp, and showed it. So I agree somewhat with Mr. Tennis, there is far more to this than power output. From there... | |
| Finding ultra-pure water locally... If I were you I would investigate a reverse osmosis system for your home from a local vendor that installs on demand RO systems for drinking water. You could have a tap installed straight off the unit so the water is not traveling through househol... | |
| What does Jitter sound like? Stereophile test CD # 2 contains an example of jitter. Based on that example, jitter is very, very bad and you don't want it! One would have to wonder if that might not be the largest contributer to listener fatigue in digital systems. Dgarretson'... | |
| Buying from Canada a hassle for you too? Darealjaydee So you had an FDA inspector who couldn't tell a CD player from Viagra and that's the fault of the drug companies? Perhaps you should consider that again. I just had a very good experience with a shipment coming from Canada. I guess th... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music "Sei getreu bis in den Tod" from Rillig's Mendelssohn Paulus.This is an especially beautiful tenor-cello duet that is taken to a new level in this recording. | |
| Shipping damage protocol? Please Help. The seller owes you a refund. With regard to damage in shipment as a buyer or seller, there are a couple things to keep in mind.1.It appears that the frequency of damage increases significantly from Thanksgiving until after new year. Sell and ship... | |
| life without audio dealers What would it be like without B&M dealers? My last purchase from a B&M store was a positive experience. The owner (who had never seen me before) allowed me a two week loan on a set of speakers, spent ~ 2-3 hrs with me and gave me a great p... | |
| most annoying neighbor? I have two neighbors who are tied for first place. Silicon Sally, who mows her front yard in a bikini, and the Steeler fan who likes to park his pick up truck full of Steeler decals in front of my house. He was in sole possession of first place un... |
