| Pink Floyd - The Wall Sony 2000 the recording quality's the same on all the cd's and lp's produced from the same master source. differences are in post-production, mastering, etc. since no one here's aware of your "control" or what your system comprises, your query is not susept... | |
| Amperage? dekay, glad your wiring concerns have been dealt with. getting back to your original query and combining my first post with the second post of avguygeorge: some amps, like my big-box rowland, require 20 ampere pc's, since the female input socket o... | |
| Amperage? as i understand it, the amp rating of the pc is not related to your household current but the amp into which it's to be plugged. certain amps (e.g., rowland, krell) use female mains sockets that require 20 amp cords. | |
| Rowland Concentra vs ........... onhwy61 makes excellent points, which i shan't repeat. i'd suggest, tho, that you also consider one of the accuphase integrateds. i think they better the jrdg but, as noted by mr. 61, you are the only judge whose vote counts (do try to avoid hangi... | |
| Granite Under Speakers Over A Wood Floor the folks at avalon acoustics recommend using marble about 1" thick or less & cut 4" wider and deeper than the speaker's footprint (this for the opus, which has an active down-firing woofer and bottom port). they also advise the use of supplie... | |
| Heavy Metaller needs some class ical . funny how so many of us started with russian composers. the first classical record i ever purchased was tschaikovsky's 1st piano concerto with van cliburn. i still enjoy the "war horses" fom grieg, mussoursky, stravinsky, et al. an excellent "star... | |
| A twist on "Your absolute best..." i also have an edison and a collection of a couple hundred records. my most prized music maker, tho, is a regina music box. its made of mahogany and was completely restored about 20 years ago by a friend of an uncle, who brought rare antique autom... | |
| Absolute Sounds 100 best albums ok, this is an eastern european/balkan test for channel phasing: from your left speaker only, you should hear a quick, distinctive rim shot. from your right speaker only you should listen closely for the short, painful sound of the heal of an open... | |
| absolute best component you ever owned craig: i might make book on the last clause of your post. permanent? cmon', you're gonna replace all your stuff eventually, unless you lose your interest, your livelihood or your heartbeat. you're an audiophile! (and i mean that in a nicest possib... | |
| absolute best component you ever owned my vpi hp-17f record cleaner is the only "component" i've had in my system for more that 10 years. since i've no plans to replace it, i guess it may be the best. my second choice is my pair of avalon eidolon speakers. not only do they reproduce mu... | |
| help with absolute phase am0779@aol.com: you can buy the stereophile test discs online at: http://www.stereophile.com/goto: "recordings."the ortofon (i misspelled it in my earlier post) test lp is long out of print but can be found, if you're in luck, at places where used... | |
| help with absolute phase onhwy61 makes several good points, that also address the query of chelillingworth directed to me. generally, you will be able to detect whether your system is in relative phase by checking the "channel phasing" of your speakers. this can be accomp... | |
| help with absolute phase there are a number of test cd's and lp's that can be used to assure that your system (as oppposed to the source) is in phase. i use the stereophile test disc 2 or the ortophon test lp as a quick check on phase whenever i change out cables or elect... | |
| Promo and DJ albums dougholdco is absolutely right re the early stamper pressings of dj/promo lp's. indeed, that's a major reason they are more valuable than the "original" releases of the same material. some of the best-sounding recordings of my favorite lp's are pr... |
