| 2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS? i still like to listen to tubes, in other people's systems. i have an eclectic mix of all ss gear in my system just now: boulder, mbl and jeff rowland (for those keeping track, no more accuphase for the nonce). -cfb | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? bozo: please accept my apology. my first post was a feeble attempt at humor that obviously was too pointed. i truly meant no personal disrespect but see now how that may be difficult to believe. again, i'm sorry for any ill effects i caused. -kelly | |
| Have you ever broken the needle? bozo: you used pliers on a phono cartridge? guess your screen name is appropriate. -cfb | |
| Which SPEAKER for the 21ST century? the bose 2101. pretty sad, eh? -cfb | |
| Need a speak/amp compatibility opinion....... ernie: gosh, i'm flattered, but i've NEVER designed a speaker. and, i didn't stay at a holiday inn express last nite ....ummmm, could this, maybe, be a different kelly? ; >) - (the other) kelly | |
| Avalon - Symbol speakers, who has heard them? i've been listening to symbols since before they were publicly released. i've heard them in systems with two to six channels. they are a rare bargain in the highend at retail. if you can get a nice discount, you should consider yourself fortunate,... | |
| Need Some Advice About Indoor Antennas i'm hoping sean will pipe in here. this is something about which he is very knowledgeable. we had a recent thread on this topic and it's my remembrance is that sean suggested trying the dipole that should have come with your tuner; it's often bett... | |
| Nordost Silver Shadow AES/EBU or LAT Int'l ? aes/ebu IS 110 ohms and coax IS 75 ohms. you can't mix and match the standards with the terminations. as to which is better: it depends on the optimization of the transport AND dac. for example, the accuphase dp-90 transport is optimized for st (a... | |
| Power Cond-best? Hyrda? CFX? PP? Burm 948? others? jfrech: if you haven't installed dedicated circuits, do that first (and maybe last). i tried the hydra in my system and hated it. it screwed up the PRaT and made the mid to lower bass sound muddy and constipated. i'm waiting to try out the burmest... | |
| Nordost or Audiodharma Cable cooker in Canada?? the version of the audioharma that jena and magic cables use is said to be an upgraded "commercial" version that has more robust terminals/ connectors. for more information, contact alan kafton: alan@audioexcellenceaz.comalan used to be the distri... | |
| PS Audio Juice Bar it sounds like an extension cord; i.e., it's only as good as the cord you use to plug it into an outlet (the supplied cord is pretty wimpy). the quality of the outlet, of course, also affects the juicebar's sonic signature. the price of the juice ... | |
| Amused To Death and Avalon Opus rich: dialing in a pair of speakers is rarely easy for anyone, no matter their individual experiences. a couple of weeks ago, my audio dealer and close friend had an open house, for the first time featuring avalon eidolon diamonds in the "main roo... | |
| cable cooker, do they work? bomarc: >>this is not a complete empirical defense<<>>and for that matter I'm not really qualified to give it<< these are the only two statements you've thus far made that i accept without qualification. oh, and if you're b... | |
| cable cooker, do they work? bomarc: this is your empirical "proof"? looks to me like you've studied scientology, not science. your "syllogism" suffers from the logical fallacy "post hoc ergo propter hoc." -cfb | |
| Amused To Death and Avalon Opus rich: roger water's "amused to death" was mixed in Qsound, a proprietary process that uses out-of-phase signals to produce startling image effects. because this recording and others using Qsound ( e.g., madonna's "music") intentionally create a ce... |
