| Is Hales finished for Good? let's see, is this the 2nd or 3rd time that hales has gone under? i feel sorry for those who thought hales had met good fortune to have teamed up with wadia. oh well, think there's likely to be another iteration? think anbody'll trust another spea... | |
| Best Pre-amp processor if you've got the means, you should not pass up the accuphase dc-330. there's nothing better out there and nothing more intelligently upgradeable. it'll play any digital source you can throw at it, now and in the future. | |
| Impress Your Friends and Seduce Women! i have never had an "uninitiated" 1st-time listener to my system say they could not perceive how it bettered anything and everything they'd previously heard. generally, i let them pick their own music, then play some of my favorites. of course, i ... | |
| Ohms? bravo, rayhall! yours is an exceptionally literate and erudite answer to a seemingly simple question. | |
| ABBEY ROAD TAPE HISS the point is not whether there's analogue tape hiss on abbey road. of course there is, as is the case on lots of pre-ddd cd/lp recordings. rather, does it interfere with your enjoyment of the music? one of the things some audiophiles like to do is... | |
| Recommend a 20A power cord? linkster has it right. i was very impressed listening to his system, including the cpcc cords and nordost cable/ic's. a combination well worth auditioning. | |
| The Legendary (?) Infinity IRS V i've heard the irs 5's and hp's current fave, the 12,000-driver pipedreams. both company's "flagship" products are/were handmade one-offs, each having its own soinic signature that must be "tuned" to the enormous spaces (by volume) they require(d)... | |
| Best reviewers so tubegroover, you and david99 must suffer from the same problem with self esteem that allows you to be swayed by the views of others over your own. are there any other judas goats out there you follow? there could be money in this. | |
| ABBEY ROAD TAPE HISS if there is tape hiss that gets in your way when listening to either the single mfsl or beatles box msfl lp versions of abbey road, there's something seriously wrong with your analogue frontend. to hear how this and other beatles albums were put t... | |
| Best reviewers david99: carl_eber? you're kidding, right? "golden ears"? kidding again, right? "tin," i'd agree with. but, hey, that just my opinion. trust who you wanna trust. best, tho, to trust yourself. | |
| Best reviewers robert harley, now of tas. picks good products, writes understandable, complete reviews. | |
| Recommend a 20A power cord? there is absolutely no comparison between the jrdg 8ti and the model 10. the former is a robust, earlier model that, IMHO, is head and shoulders above any of jeff's newer designs. as to the power cord issue: recognze the jrdg uses a female 3-prong... | |
| Amp without phono stage=better amp.? nope. you've got a classic logical fallacy on your hands: post hoc ergo propter hoc. put another way: not enough premises for a syllogistic conclusion. | |
| SACD player as CD transport? i don't know what your outer limits on price might be, but accuphase has an incredibly good sacd transport/dac combination that will play all formats available (the transport does not play dvd-a but the dac is upgradeable to this source). the pair... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables mr_eber: you've ruined more than your share of threads with off-base, insulting posts. i think it's long past time for your permenant banning. |
