| "Redbook" meaning? i've been led to believe that the term derives from the followers of chairman mao, who were able to copy illegally very early cd's, whilst simultaneously memorizing passages from the "little red book." -cfb | |
| Current Linn Lingo vs. older style? do you realize that the definition of "lingo" is "an unintelligible language." pretty much sez it all, eh. i'd hold out for the lingua. if you don't like the sound of it, at least it could serve as the foundation for a sandwich. -cfb | |
| Any comments on Tara Lab Decade XLR Interconnect? what speakers do you have? as i recollect, they are avalon eidolons. if i'm correct, go with the tara. the silver wire is much too sterile forjrdg pre to amp connection with the avalon speakers. mit with jrdg is like putting fish on bicyles. -cfb | |
| shipping speakers glen: most such services DO require drop off, tho some offer pickup. drop off is MUCH less expensive. pickup charges also vary between commercial (with dock) and residential. the same conditions hold true on the "delivery end." if the recipient wi... | |
| shipping speakers road freight companies are often more expensive than air freight shippers. every city with a major airport has several companies that "buy" unused air freight space and "sell" it to shippers. look in your yellow pages for these vendors. i've used ... | |
| The Best Version of Your Favorite Music? paul simon's "graceland" is one of my favorite albums. i have several lp pressings, including a 2-disc set intended for radio play; paul introduces each song in an interview format. the best lp version i've been able to aquire, tho, is the origina... | |
| Advice on Jeff Rowland 8Ti the jrdg model 8 is no longer in production (altho it's listed as a "current" product on thier website). hence, unless the seller already has a battery unit, they may be hard to come by. the battery unit does lower the noise floor and provide a "b... | |
| Accuphase DP-85 i quite agree with linkster that the direct connection of the accuphase dp-75v gives the best sonic results. the only exception to this, in my experience, is running the analog output of the 75v through a boulder 2010 pre (one might expect this, o... | |
| Are You Content With Your System? lev: i think this is a zen question, equivalent to asking "are you content with your life?" the answer, of course, depends upon your perceived (or actual) state of enlightenment. as for me: i'm still tryin' to figure out which mantra is truly my v... | |
| Accuphase DP-85 bad: i had the accuphase dp-85 on audition for a bit over a week. i played it through my boulder 1012 pre/dac on redbook cd and sacd. i also a/b'd it with my 1012 used as a dac and pre and my accuphase dp-90 as a transport. previously, i a/b'd the... | |
| Cardas GoldenCross vs. NBS Statement or Monitor 0? i am quite familiar with your system components. i also have eidolons, which i drive with a modified jeff rowland 8ti through a boulder 1012 pre/dac. recently, i've been comparing in my audio dealer's main listening room, various amps on eidolons ... | |
| What is "Clipping"? see: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?aamps&995914213&read&keyw&zzclippingthis is a thread titled: Please explain clippingsounds a little like yours, eh?-cfb | |
| Are you allowed to increase the selling price ? stores are NOT generally required to "honor an advertised price," if that price is stated in error. i should think that the same general principle would apply here. BTW, were you really intent on buying this piece for $9500? -cfb | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? lmb: i'm sure you already know the answers to all your questions. i don't and feel NO need to find them. i prefer just listenin' to music through my system, which includes the wires that sound best to me. it's really that simple. but, hey, if meas... | |
