| PowerSnake Owners Unite! I say they suck!...just kidding. I'll be trying some soon, but apparently they need like 100 billion years to break in, or so. (That's the excuse those they are trying them ahead of me are offering). And another question to all of you guys: Is the... | |
| Best headphones? You're making my bank account boil and my aural sensibilities ache with longing, Baldridge! If you'd let me borrow this Stax headphone, I promise to clean my ears with bleach before putting them on! I want some soooo bad! Someday.... | |
| Cleaning Vinyl I love Gruv Glide, but Albert does know of what he speaks. I feel it reduces friction very well, therefore groove wear is also reduced. It needs no post cleaning after application. It is of course paramount that you get a cleaning machine, either ... | |
| Gold CDs sound Darker? I don't have the test equipment to "show you the bits". Buy it for me, and I'll show you, or else research it some more. I payed far less than that for mine. Also, don't blame me if you don't trust your own ears. This hobby is for those that do, l... | |
| Best power cord for amp?? I wasn't trying to challenge you, Craig. Different cords will work for different systems, but what I heard in mine, is what I heard. And that was comparing six different cords (all with healthy break-in and settling time). Sam Tellig always says y... | |
| Best Interconnects for under $300 pair I've been saying it for a while, but we all have to make up our own mind in our own time, I guess. The HT might work in some systems, but not in most, it seems to me. The Alpha Core just seem flawed from the start (the two poles are touching thru ... | |
| Gold CDs sound Darker? Bedini has performed that test, but I doubt you'd trust their data. I don't need to see, because I can hear. Every time I played a CD, it always had more detail, dynamics and liquidity after the Clarifier (I played the same track before, and then ... | |
| Best power cord for amp?? I also tried the Master Coupler. Too filtered, too dark, very tubby bass. The Reference is probably much better, but these Shunyatas are supposed to be great. Mine are taking a while getting to me. | |
| putting together a budget system Magneplanar MMG, $500 factory direct, 60 day trial period. Get a few room acoustic treatments, too, if at ALL possible. MIT Terminator 3 speaker cable from Audio Advisor, 30 day trial period. | |
| 24/96 Format Yes, sir! OK, sir. Baroque and early music. Got it. Your welcome for whatever help such a closed minded guy could give. I've been called worse. I prefer Stravinsky, Dvorak, Bartok, Prokofiev, Tchaicovsky, etc. | |
| U-571: 4 stars? Thanks for the support, Brian. | |
| 24/96 Format It's not for me to speculate. OK, just couldn't stand to hear somebody knock the best music ever, because they say they know better. Seemed kind of disrespectful to the great conductors of that bygone era, who I bet would say that it isn't for you... | |
| Cartridge info Van den Hul won't respond to you? I don't understand that. | |
| Sound-stage, imaging, focus...... Dkarmaeli, I resent your implication that audiophiles don't love music too. We do, it's just they we enjoy BOTH aspects in a recording, where "music lovers" don't really care what they're actually hearing their music on...could even be a boombox. | |
| Magnepan or Martin Logan Unless, of course, you augment with a stellar subwoofer. I do enjoy organ music, especially RR "Pomp and Pipes". |
