| LSA Signature to Statement upgrade As I've always said, an amplifier can never be too full and engaged. | |
| The State of Jazz Getting back to the OP - good question. IMO, jazz ended in the late 60s and all any "jazz" artist can do is to replay what has already been created. Before anyone kneejerks to say how ridiculous this is, keep in mind that many forms of music have ... | |
| Rembering the 80s: College Rock "Hey Mickey you're so fine - you're so fine you blow my mind, Hey Mickey! Hey Mickey." It sucked then and it sucks now. That pretty much sums up music of the 80's for me. | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Janis. The W1 was beautiful. | |
| Charge for TT setup? IMO, when you buy a new tt and cart from a dealer at retail, they should include setup. I can't believe that your dealer is charging you extra to install a cartridge that you purchased from him. One dealer tried to charge me $500 to set up a new t... | |
| Most educational audition you ever had? Most educational was, without a doubt, the difference an upgraded preamp made in the system. The sound was consistent with what I thought would be the result of a better amplifier - more power, articulate bass, etc. A good preamp is much more than... | |
| Should I Get a DAC ? Why don't you try taping a couple of sheets of toilet paper over the tweeters. You would probably not believe how many records were recorded with Yamaha NS10m speakers with toilet paper over the tweeters. Google it and you'll see. If you use grill... | |
| Audience PowerChord e or se The AU24 Chord is a different world. | |
| Alvin Lee- 1 year later The Woodstock performance of "I'm goin'home" is legendary, IMO. He contributed something to the world. | |
| Power Strips - Wiremold vs.Hammond vs BPT PPC The Cable Pro is a very nice piece. I don't think you can go wrong. I know Audience makes a distribution box for Naim with absolutely no filtering that's supposed to be really excellent, but it costs $1500. Frankly, with your level of system, I wo... | |
| Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p? Bo, you're probably a nice guy, but do have any idea of what a freakin' jackass you sound like? No offense, but for someone who purports to have all the answers, I have not read a single thing from you that is remotely useful. You certainly have a... | |
| Power Strips - Wiremold vs.Hammond vs BPT PPC I was using the Wiremold when I had my Naim system, but the $350 CablePro strip was a big audible improvement in terms of noise floor and just overall realism. But my experience is really meaningless to you, as you have no point of reference. My s... | |
| $5k Upgrade Upgrading the preamp can often yield superior results, but I don't think that can happen for $5K. Have you considered a good power conditioner like the Audience? | |
| Superb service from Paradigm You should thank your dealer as well. While many people point out the large margins they make on some products, part of this cost goes towards service after the sale. The dealer has to deal with you and the manufacturer to get the product serviced... | |
| Femto clocks ,every unit should have one It never ceases to amaze me how some people just jump on the latest advertising buzzword bandwagon. The Sabre chip, the diamond tweeter, the ceramic driver, the teflon cap. All of these things may well be fine products, but as Steve N. points out,... |
