| Anyone heard a Musical Fidelity X-DAC? I have an X-DAC that I am considering selling in the next couple of months, but it will be for $160. I bought it two years ago. READ THE ROBERT HARLEY STEREOPHILE REVIEW. It decodes HDCD and pre-emphasis, and it's output stage runs in class A, and... | |
| Best reviewers Yes, that could be true alright. That actually makes sense. | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges 1000 ohms seems very high for such a low output mc like that Koetsu. According to the Guide, it's output is .2 millivolts at 5 cm/sec rms lateral velocity. My Lo4 is much higher at .85 millivolts, and seems to sound best at 384 ohms. Again, Fremer... | |
| Best reviewers Start another thread if you don't like where this one has gone. I'm stream of consciousness oriented sometimes, so why criticize me just for getting sidetracked a little bit? Is this a thought controlled forum? Music isn't the only thing we discus... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Margin, it was a joke, and I have no margin account, that's only for gamblers. I like to invest my OWN money, not borrow someone else's to gamble away. Greed doesn't drive a real investor anyway....greed is for criminals. The desire to participate... | |
| Best reviewers The ideal magazine would be so pure, that if the reader had ever done anything less than perfect in his life, he would be smited from the earth as he read those most holy words, so perfect that no one anywhere would be worthy of reading them, inst... | |
| Best reviewers I submit that you just don't get Star Wars, and there's nothing degenerate about it, nor is it simply "commercial fare". It is a generational phenomenon and spectacle. So-called "baby boomers" "just don't get it", and they don't need to get it, we... | |
| Best reviewers Trelja, you are too kind. Tell me this: if the movie will be finished in 2001, why must they wait until summer 2002 to release it? I hear that few movies will be made starting spring 2001, another actor's strike or some such nonsense, and so it se... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Margin, you are one to talk about showing off money. "Margin Call", an obvious bragadocia, that you either own many stocks, or are a broker, or are pretending same. I should call myself "got it all", and then I would be like you. I'm just getting ... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges And Albert, I just listened to "Balalaika Favorites" and "Bartok: Concerto for Orchestra" ON 45 RPM....and sheesh, am I NOT interested in DVD-A, SACD, or anything digital for a while....I bet these would just make you die of delight on a "real tab... | |
| Ohm Loads for cartridges Mike Fremer thinks that low output moving coils sound best when "loaded", meaning a low impedance setting. I definitely agree. Generally, if your cartridge is high output, the best impedance will be over 1000 ohms, and usually around 50k ohms. I a... | |
| Best reviewers Trelja, if that's correct, then I am wrong, and you are right. I saw the movie several times, but the sound was never up to "Jurassic Park" standards (EP 1's sound was a major disappointment for me), so I likely couldn't understand those words, if... | |
| Best reviewers "The Shining" is the only King movie I care for (and I loved The Simpson's lampoon of it, called "The Shinning"). I haven't liked any of the tv miniseries based on King's work. If you are an SF fan, you shouldn't miss Asimov's Foundation series, a... | |
| Best reviewers Actually, I don't think anyone addresses him as Darth Sideous in the actual Episode 1 film. I also don't know that he's "the leader of the Sith", he is only identified as a Sith Master, again in the film. "They were thought to be extinct", and we ... | |
| The best Neutral Power cord ? Kasboot, I suggest you get started trying power cords. If you hear no significant difference, then your time spent auditioning them will be shorter, and you can get on with enjoying your system. |
