| Worst Music of All-Time Spoken like a true old timer...no offense. | |
| Cables, Interconnects and More Cables??? You'll never know till you try. Not all cables even use metal conductors, some use carbon fibre, and will sound consistent for eons. In general, specialty cable manufacturers make quality products, and take care to slow the oxidation process. Silv... | |
| What freq.do tube amps loosen up in bass The answer won't be the same, from one tube amp to the next. There's no gurantee that your sub will mate well with a tube amp, either. I just got a tube amp, and so far it seems to only lack the bottom octave, and some of the top octave. It's not ... | |
| Better Electronics or New Cables??? Rockvirgo, it's a shame that you don't listen to vinyl anymore. It's terrific nowadays. | |
| Better Electronics or New Cables??? Better electronics. | |
| SPEAKERS FOR MY NEW LISTENING ROOM Sorry, I have the ASC ones. Good luck, though. I've only heard bad things about all the ASC clones, and feel the cost of the ASC ones is justified. I am a DIY'er, but only do speakers... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! I agree. Also, the Classic Records vinyl reissues should not be missed by anyone, especially the 12 inch 45 rpm ones! | |
| ROGUE AUDIO 88 AMP Had to go buy a Craftsman screw driver just to get the tiny screws off the cover. I'll let you know. | |

| SPEAKERS FOR MY NEW LISTENING ROOM A good test CD is the Sheffield "My Disc", with the band limited pink noise tracks. Your ears will suffice, but you can use a radioshack SPL meter if you like. I have one. | |
| MP3 players That's Joe Gastwirt. What about Bob Ludwig and all the rest of the big timers? I distinctly remember him and several others mentioning the 2 inch tape in an article in Mix. I'll look for it sometime............I know it's better to edit on a DAW, ... | |
| Source of Brightness If your ears are ringing, you have bigger problems than deciding which format to listen to. I recommend seeing a doctor, and laying off listening to any system for a while. | |
| Cables, Interconnects and More Cables??? I'm no towel expert, so I guess I'd let my ears decide. Whichever one makes the least noise would suffice. I guess that would rule out a burlap bag... | |
| SPEAKERS FOR MY NEW LISTENING ROOM All you need to do is damp first reflection points on every wall, and preferably use full round traps at least in the room's corners behind each speaker (16 inch or larger diameter). Do this, and you're done. You can tweak the imaging and response... | |
| Can speaker cables damage amplifiers? I know what I hear, and the Goertz speaker cables were distorted in a way, and to a degree, that no other cables I've tried have exhibited. Since speaker cabling was the only thing I was changing, I don't see how the distortion was geing caused by... |
