| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks Steve. I suspect with "unicrystal" wire, directionality becomes less of an issue. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling After building my helix IC's I decided I am going to use a cotton sleeve on the signal and return to mitigate the "spring" in this cable. Question--I used the 18g VH copper and after the fact realized I payed no attention to the direction of the ... | |
| Member Almarg passed away last night I can imagine years from now I'll be searching for some info and I will come across something that Al posted......and I'll smile.The printed word lives on. | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store Can you imagine as a dealer how many people who might "like a listen" with no intent of buying. Must drive them nuts. If you have $17k to burn on amps, an audition fee is not likely to be a big deal. Furthermore, how do you make an informed dec... | |
| CD Review Thanks for the recommendation. I'll pick up a copy of the sacd. | |
| YAMAHA A S-3000 INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER REVIEW regarding the hot running Yamaha, more than one owner has had a "dud". A shame. But I recall reading the cause of this was a bias pot that seemed to drift (during shipping??). In any event, the fix is an easy adjustment of that pot. With the ri... | |
| Thoughts on a system upgrade. I would have to agree that money spent on acoustic treatments would be the most effective use of your funds--especially given you are fundamentally happy with your gear.Many of the manufacturers of acoustic treatments make products that are quite ... | |
| Update on Audiogon Member Almarg Al is a shining example of how to positively impact people you have never met. You will be missed my online friend. May the Lord bless you and keep you as well as your family. | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings One other critical point. How can some people think 95% of their recordings sound great and another 15%. I suspect individual variations in ones hearing and CNS processing of music is very different from one listener to the next. This may be a ... | |

| Sub Question. One higher quality sub or two lesser quality? (Rythmik vs HSU) My primary speakers are Tekton DI's which have very respectable bass and good efficiency. Similar to your Cornwalls in that regard. I also have a pair of the the Hsu subs you are considering. I feel they would do a great job of filling in that ... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings Like I said, I have great recordings of massed strings and ones that I will not listen to. So I don't think the problem is my CD player, amp, or other nasties on the grid. The primary determinate for violin, piano, or any other instrument is the... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks for the above pointers gentleman.I have been listening to my very short 17" IC's using 18g VH copper, single run on both legs, for the last day. Furutech 111g plugs with ProGold, set screw termination.Was skeptical at first but these reall... | |
| the sound of massed violins in classical orchestral recordings I think the quality of the recording has as much to do with this as anything. Most just do not get it right. Occasionally they do:Beethoven Overtures, Sir Collin Davis. A beautiful SACD recording on the Sony label, manufactured in Japan that I ... | |
| Want to setup basic home audio system Start with the speakers. You listen to a wide range of music. This will make it difficult on a tight budget. Might be better to start with decent monitors that get the midrange and treble right knowing you could always add a sub later as funds ... |
