| It's Been an Allison Kind of Month...... craig: i'll be buyin' allison moorer's cd's tomorrow. too tired tonite, the olympics are on (just waitin' for the women's curling medal round), and our local media play has become a vast wasteland of hip-hop and latino (nothin' racial here, guys. ... | |
| 7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? mark: since i, myself, have only just awakened after spending these past 20 years in a coma, i quite understand your concerns. my two sons, who were but grade-schoolers as i remember them, now each earn in just a year what it took me a decade to r... | |
| Any advantage to an outboard crossover box? karl: tannoy churchills have outbord xovers, as did my previously-owned avalon ascents (current sentinels also have outboard units, as i recall). there are two primary advantages that i'm aware of with such a setup. first, it reduces vibrations fr... | |
| Rowland Model 10 - Break in Help the anomalies you attribute to the amp may never go away with the associated ic's and frontend with which it's matched, even if your scheduled burn-in period is the same as the half-life of plutonium. please understand that i'm not casting aspersi... | |
| Who R U? jrwr7 (john)- congratulations on your new-found job stability and decision to admit to being a 'phile. i welcome you to the group that chooses to post instead of lurking and look forward to your contributions to the discussions ahead.-kelly | |
| Audiophile oddities i've been told that yba uses chips off an old block of shakti stone. they are purportedly intended to cut back on listener flatulence, which, left uncontrolled, can have unpleasant effects upon the musical presentation. -cfb | |
| Digital volume control, WADIA style mrgigi: my experience comes from the direct connection of accuphase dp-75 and dp-75v cdps. both of these units have high-quality digital attenuators based on the designs of the accuphase all-digital preamps, the dc-300 (which uses the same dac as... | |
| Soudstage Height? amused to death- roger waters. it works on the lp, too, BTW. -cfb | |
| calling all audiophiles tim: please give me the name of your plasterer; i'll pay his airfare. :o) BTW, the amps i'm talkin' about have user-switchable 110/220v inputs. see, e.g., : http://www.boulderamp.com/bldramp.2060.html-kelly | |
| Cable Hedge mctuff: i think you're of the same ilk that spends hours wasting everyone's time at a brick & mortar audio stores so that you can find whatever suits your fancy on the 'net. you're a self-confessed "ebay audiophile." why don't you seek advice ... | |
| How does MIT vary the impedance of their cables? peleon: you can get into the mit network box if you really care to. all it takes is a sawzall, a cold-forged chisel and an 8 pound hammer. 'course if you take this route, you should be prepared to discover that there's nothing to it but the epoxy ... | |
| calling all audiophiles ok, guys, seriously, i've not tried ANYTHING that doesn't limit or degrade dynamics other than dedicated outlets. it makes no difference what the device is called. FWIW, i'm toying now with the installation of a dedicated 220 v. outlet for my amp;... | |
| Soudstage Height? i'm not sure whether the posts so far are based on a common definition of "soundstage height." when i hear this term, i think of the perceived height of the "stage" on which the performers stand or sit. thus, if the image requires you to look "up"... | |
| calling all audiophiles i've tried and tried to plug my amp directly into the wall but, so far, i get a "power on" indication only when i find, by trial and error, an outlet box. -cfb | |
| Can Someone Explain This? walter: take some advice, please, from someone who's no doubt older than you and probably been into audio longer. stop listening to your main rig 'til sunday. just keep it goin' non-stop on "repeat all" at the highest volume you can stand until, s... |
