| Who R U? nhorton: welcome back to the 'gon from a fellow coloradan. if you're interested in attending some openhouses in denver to hear some of the best components available, send me a private email and i'll get you on "the list." -kelly | |
| breaking in a dac thanks for all the responses, guys. i'm supposed to get delivery of my new toy on monday, next (we'll see). i'm having it fitted with an st glass input, so i can take advantage of the matching optimized output on my accuphase dp 90, which i'll sti... | |
| Stradivari violin sugarbrie: in the early '70's, the smithsonian did loan out a portion of its collection of strads to the university of iowa string quartet (which, temporarily, changed its name to the stradivarius string quartet in recognition of the great honor).... | |
| Walking that fine line: What would you do ? sean: sometimes, i think, it's better being ignorant. you hear the faders because you know what faders are and how they are used. you know that the noise floor is affected by the mic level, so you can perceive it when it changes. these effects may... | |
| Stradivari violin rcprince: your post is wonderfully informative, well-written and perfectly on target. BRAVO! i'm sure pleased you take the time to share your wisdom with us. i hope you'll continue to teach us. -cfb | |
| Pleasant surprises, what have you run across? albert: i think i'd hit michael flately on the top of each foot with the bag of nickels, then turn him in to the grammar police for misspelling "damn."BTW, i saw mr. flatley perform "riverdance" in london. couldn't hear the recorded taps for all t... | |
| Pleasant surprises, what have you run across? i once found nearly $8.00 worth of coins between and beneath the cushions of my sweetspot chair. yeah, i know they were mine to begin with but, hey, that's damn near 2 hours' worth of downtown parking! -cfb | |
| Found a gold mine tireguy: i'd take detlof's advice. none of what you've described in the collection so far is very valuable. better to look for quality over quantity, lest you end up with 900 of a 1,000 lp's you'll never play more than once, if at all. beleive me;... | |
| Avalon Symbol speakers flex: the symbols integrate very nicely with other avalons. my best friend/audio dealer has set up systems with eidolons, arcuses and opuses in front. he now has a system set up with 6 symbols and a brand new 38" loewe aconda. it's awesome. -cfb | |
| TIVO and Ultimate TV. Any recommendations? spitfire (the airplane, i trust): there are a number of hard drive recorders sold under several brand names. as i understand it, all such units are pretty much alike, tho they're differentiated, of course, by those designed for digital cable and t... | |
| Best city between these two? denver, if you can't live in london. -cfb | |
| Best Amp for Eidolon linkster is dead on. the accuphase a-50v, singly or in pairs, is superb with eidolons. the only other amps i'd consider are the jrdg 8ti (which i use-for now) or the boulder 1060 (assuming the 2060 is out of the question). both the the accuphase a... | |
| To report cheaters ? which website can be used ? rademaker: was this an internet sale? if so, which site was involved? if it was not an internet sale, was it interstate or local (intrastate)? -cfb | |
| Generally Speaking your presumptive formula does not apply to a number of cable companies' price lists; i.e., some class "b" bi-wire sets cost more than twice the price of a single run of class "a." that being said, my speakers of choice, avalon, have migrated from ... | |
| Phono stage suggestions? what's your budget? if it is limited, tho not too much so, you can not go wrong with an aesthetix io. if you get the version with an extra analogue input and volume control, then you can skip the preamps you've mentioned, too. -cfb |
