| Hiss at very low volumes sounds like snakes to me. yep, definitely snakes (the chinese put them in the "cabinets" and laugh all day long, knowing they're manufacturing a supposed japanese product). too bad all us red-blooded americans are made to suffer this manifestation... | |
| columbia vinyl dylan remasters thanx for the feedback guys. i'll let you know what happens. -cfb | |
| Are more expensive speakers better? fact is, relatively inexpensive speakers (< $2k) that are well-conceived and manufactured can sound FABULOUS driven with $100k in electronics/frontend/wire. the inverse of such a combination produces an opposite result; i.e, $100k speakers soun... | |
| what is the best sub amp. kirk930: if you actually got thru the entire dvd of "3000 miles from graceland," you might as well try a few 3 watt set's with your subs. what a god-awful movie! -cfb | |
| BMG Music Club - new twist tim: sorry but i was actually wearin' the new closed back stax'. you musta had me confused with somebody else. oh yeah, forgot to mention, the function noted was on the same night we did the wrap party for "moulin rouge." that was me with ms. kidd... | |
| columbia vinyl dylan remasters i should also add that the catalog is not yet complete but will purportedly be reissued over several months, perhaps as long as two years. -cfb | |
| BMG Music Club - new twist here's an interesting web page on music clubs. i don't know how recent it might be but does have some useful links (the url owner, chip rowe, has, shall we say, eclectic tastes- parental guidance might be in order for the morally squeamish):http:/... | |
| anyone compared Outlaw to High-end? sdcambell: thanx for the tetsuko suggestion. i've seen most of kurosawa's films, at least those available in the usa. IMO, "ran" is one of the 10 best movies ever made. -cfb | |
| Anyone have this happen to them? static electricity can contain a very powerful charge. several years ago, i lazily shuffled my leather-clad feet across the wool chinese rug that rests between my speakers and listening couch to adjust some control on my JRDG pre that i couldn't a... | |
| anyone compared Outlaw to High-end? no, but i once watched "a clockwork orange" and "barry lyndon" back-to-back. -cfb | |
| Have you ever been stuck? david: i may be old and i may be a fuddy duddy, but i don't drive 600 miles every weekend to listen to c&w music. and i LIKE some c&w music. :o) -kelly | |
| Best source of lead shot? albert: the more relevant question is, why would you want to iron a squid? -cfb | |
| XRCD vs. SACD anyone? bob: hdcd is just another flavor of redbook, not a seperate format. it is incompatible with upsampling dacs, that work on ALL cd's. moreover, hdcd was never adopted by a number of the big guns in the highend for a whole variety of reasons. -cfb | |
| not a charming day with snakes grant: i greatly appreciate your gracious and informative response. FWIW, i've found your upper-range power cords (the only ones i've tried) to be first rate and on my very short list of those i'm likely to purchase. i did mean to emphasize that m... | |
| Have you ever been stuck? this has nothing to do with audiogon, in particular, but rather with selling ANYTHING on the net, in general. if you are asked to ship something overnight COD, DON'T, unless you REALLY know your buyer is trustworthy. as a seller on ebay and audiog... |
