| Has anyone heard "XM" satellite radio? jwmazur: the xm demos i've heard (set up by xm) lead me to believe that you should expect to get sonics roughly equivalent to a middle-of-the road fm tuner. -cfb | |
| what is the best super speaker and why? albert: i'm with you on the avantgarde's. i've listened, or tried to listen to them with numerous amps, tube and ss. in each instance, the uno's, duo's or trio's were set up by jim smith or one of his associates. they are the most fatiguing, strid... | |
| DTIPro 32 on the Blink gem4: now, wait a minute. is your dti "on the blink" or "throwing tantrums"? if the former, try visine. if the latter, i'd just try givin' it a good spanking (after a "time out," of course, if you're a PC parent). -cfb | |
| DAC question who can tell? AFAIK, no dac/cdp manufacturer offers units with alternative chip sets. am i wrong? -cfb | |
| Will people buy Snake Oil? sean: i'm afraid that hififarm might be subject to ftc scrutiny if they make "all natural" claims, even for runny mucuous. see, e.g.,: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/alerts/impoalrt.htm-cfb | |
| Will people buy Snake Oil? if your product is formulated from the droppings of your hifi cows runnin' in your hififarm fields, you'll likely need the approval of the department of agriculture, the epa and the fda. state and local authorities should also be notified of your,... | |
| Suspended vs. Non Suspended TT on Concrete Floor herman: sonotubes are hollow forms made from heavy layers of paper/cardboard that are used to construct concrete piers. you can get em' at most construction supply stores. BTW, if you were actually to engage in such a project, you would need to an... | |
| Component Video Cables i use tara rgb component cables (3 in a bunch) between my pioneer elite dv-37 and loewe aconda. i tried some less expensive models but, to me, the tara's are well worth their cost (right at your price point, as i recollect, but can be found discou... | |
| Accuphase A50V v.s. Lamm M1.1 bwhite: at the risk of repetition repetition: the accuphase a-50v, even at its rated output of 50w/ channel into 8 ohms, will outperform amps at 4-5 times its rated output (per ftc rule), including , IMO, the whole of the accuphase p series. slagl... | |
| Hearing local radio through speakers dfd9: i'd start by uncoiling the pc's. you've created an antenna with your wires somehow ("classic" rfi). reconnect EVERYTHING and make parallel runs of ic's and pc's, tho not touching one another, if possible. try not to cross ic's with pc's. if ... | |
| What's the buzz about MOFI? kinsekd: the deal is that music direct bought out the remnants of MFSL in april, 2001. presumably, they plan to release some new offerings. see:http://www.stereophile.com/shownews.cgi?1033-cfb | |
| Best Recordings I heard in 2001 nice list, scott. here are a handful of 2001 releases that are sitting in my current cd "play" pile:steal this movie- music from the motion picture;steve earl, townes van zandt, guy clark- together at the bluebird cafe;paul simon- you're the one;d... | |
| Suspended vs. Non Suspended TT on Concrete Floor in my view, you would degrade the sonics of either of the clearauido tables with the use of an isolation device like the vibraplane. the suspensionless design should work perfectly on a rigid/high mass stand placed directly on concrete through a g... | |
| Optical burn-in? ben: scott is correct. the same goes, BTW, for at&t st optical. st, tho, is much more flexible than toslink. -cfb | |
| Who R U? fujindemon: you've told us everthing except "where r u." guess you'll need to visit that thread next. in any event, you're in good company here with your rouge gear. david99, the wise author of this longest running thread, even named himself after... |
