| Let's play the "what if" game That's funny, I was going to recommend you upgrade your power strip to the Cablepro when I read that it was your most recent upgrade. You didn't really say whether you felt it made a decent improvement, but if it did, I would suggest you try one o... | |
| The Distortion of Sound @Chrshanl37 - my point is: Harman is marketing a new "thing" to kids called hi-rez music and telling them that compression is bad. I happen to agree, but you'll notice if you watch the entire 22-minute film, which I'm sure you did, that the people... | |
| The Distortion of Sound Boy - excuse the rant here, but... That had to be produced by the same people that do the Bose commercials. A lot of vague promises about how the next thing they're going to sell you is going to make you happy. The problem is not compression. It's... | |
| My audio rack is bright, will sand fill help? I've never heard anyone say Lamms sounded "strident". Jesus, that rack must be awful. Try some softer footers from Herbies, maybe. But anything that makes Lamms sound bad should be thrown in the garbage. Really. | |
| Stylus cleaner I think ME works great and I use it at the end of every listening session. But between sides, I prefer the Zerodust and some liquid stylus cleaner. IMO, using the ME between every side makes the process more prone to human error and the ME can def... | |
| Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24 Quest For Sound is selling an 808 in mint condition. Do a little haggling and get yourself a great player. | |
| Non mirrored JBL 4312... You start swapping drivers around and you'll never sell them. Just leave them alone and hope for the best. I highly doubt anyone who buys those speakers would hear the difference anyway. | |
| dap amp headphone combo The 7000s are top-quality phones and deserve a good amplifier. The x5 is portable, so that's cool if you need it, although I can't see wearing the 7000s in the subway. But I would really try to get something better like a Woo Audio, or Benchmark. ... | |
| perfect placement for your speakers You should hear the voice totally centered and sharply focused. You shouldn't need absolutely perfect (to the inch) placement to hear that. If you don't, something is wrong somewhere. I assume you are sitting equidistant from both speakers, right? | |
| Upsampling DACs Dave - I think you're unnecessarily limiting your enjoyment by restricting your choices to a certain technology. Years ago, I went into a dealer asking for stand-mount speakers because I thought they were better than floor-standing for some reason... | |
| Learning from him I think we should introduce him to Bo. They can discuss Purist power cords. | |
| Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers Get the big JBL6600. It is exactly what you want. | |
| Audiogon suggestion box Maybe your idea of trying to negotiate a reasonable offer is his idea of a lowball. When I sell an expensive piece of gear, I'm not interested in flea market bargainers and I wouldn't want someone leaving me negative feedback because I didn't want... | |
| My Parasound A21 review and VS Emotiva XPA I'm glad you like your equipment, but it's very hard to take anyone who uses the word "cuz" seriously. Remember, audio is a journey. You liked the Emotiva yesterday, you like the Parasound today. Tomorrow - who knows? | |
| New Vandersteen oil cooled hybrid amplifiers If they sound better than anything else on the planet, we'll talk about it. Otherwise - what for? I had a freon-cooled Sanyo amp back in the 80s when the company was making a stab at high-end mid-fi. It was pretty good. Sold it to a recording stud... |
