| Help selecting a power cord. Close your eyes. Have a helpful third party lay out all the candidate cords in front of you. Plck one up.On the other hand, power conditioners or active filters can affect SQ. | |

| Flipping record causing series of loud pops Hi oldhvymec and others.All very well to mute after every side if you have a mute switch.But if you have to down the volume pot and then up it again every 20 minutes you will soon wear it out. After all many get noisy after 20 years of normal use... | |
| Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?

| How much reality do you really need? Some posters here have the correct answer to this simple question:There can be no reality. An event cannot be reproduced with total precision, not least because it is being reproduced at a different time.A system should seek to reproduce accurate... | |
| So how can a great system solve less than great recordings Why do you imagine a great system can make a poor recording better??A great system reproduces accurately what is in the groove/pits, that's all.If you want to go that way, get some new-fangled digital enhancer that makes the recording sound more l... | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl Hi SokogearWe heard the revived Steely Dan in the Sporting Club Monaco, a very intimate venue, some 15?? years ago. It was a great concert.My wife flew to London the next morning and the Dan were in the lounge. Fagen was sitting with the girl si... | |
| Violin Moves All Over the Sound Stage There certainly won't be two violinists in the Beethoven Concerto.Nonsense like that may turn up in today's gimmick-ridden world but not in this classic performance from 1959. | |
| Clear vinyl vs. regular black vinyl "Donald Fagen was a fanatic about the recording and production process"Donald is alive and well. It is 9 years since he released a record but his fans live in hope.Clear vinyl started off as a gimmick. Does anyone have evidence that its make-up ... |
