| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? so, questforsound, do you also have the guts to carry "putrid pus that runs from uncleaned sores" preamps? awesome sound if you can get past the smell. -cfb | |
| Problems with proposed transactions? what, pray tell, is a "proposed transaction"? sounds to me like a recipe for failure. you either have a transaction or you don't. if you communicate intelligently with a seller or buyer, you should be able to avoid any and all problems. something ... | |
| Is there a turntable book? i have an extra copy of the all-encompassing "mephisto turntable manual" (with the embossed leather pentangle cover) available in mint condition. you can get it for free but must follow the lead of robert johnson. are you game? -cfb | |
| The Politicians Are Getting Involved - Stop Them how's this, from e.e. cummings (an entire poem):a politician is an arseupon which everything has sat,except a man-cfb | |
| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? sunnyjim: you might wanna try out the "putrid pus that runs from uncleaned sores" ( a/k/a, pptrfus) preamps. they REALLY need a spokesperson. -cfb | |
| How long do you keep a component? i keep most of my components no longer than that moment just before it takes my bride to recognize that "there's something new" (after 35 years, there's not too much guessing required). problem is, speakers are the most noticeable, and usually mos... | |
| Dell purchase here's another macaholic. "get a life, get a mac." -cfb | |
| Single Driver Speakers??? Lowther, Moth Audio?? the upper-end tannoys, including the churchill, use a "dual concentric" single driver. they really rock with great tube amps (e.g., airtight). if i were to install a second system, i'd buy these as my "base." -cfb | |
| Replacing TT with CD ok, ok, i've not listened to a well tempered tt & arm for years. but i most definitely DO remember every playing of it with mm and mc cartridges as dark and slow (i.e, lacking PRaT). FWIW, my reference at the time was the first generation vpi ... | |
| Have you ever changed non-detachable poewer cord? keep the captured cord, cut off the male plug and solder the stripped end onto your outlet. it may not sound any better, but your doing so would qualify you as a member of the "tweakers hall of fame." (unfortunately, without a home, since dale eva... | |
| Replacing TT with CD try the burmester cdp-001 or the accuphase dp-75v. if your wtt&a is like others i've heard, you're likely suffering the pains and arrows of outrageously dark, slow and uninvolving sound. just my 200 euro. -cfb | |
| AT&T ST to Toslink connectors ... (1) no;(2) no;(3) try 75 ohm coax; or(4) punt.-cfb | |
| How many levels are there? will: just wonderin' if you had anything to do with naming the 4 varieties of quarks. IAE, i think there must be an infinite number of levs. if it were not so, stereophile would have told you. -cfb | |
| Upsampling / Oversampling DAC i have a boulder 1012 dac/pre. it has the power to decode sacd but cannot do so unless boulder buys a "license" from sony. the current price for that license is stupidly set at $75k. for that fee, boulder would be allowed to install an 'input" dec... |
