| Two great seminars this fall Tfta:Some of us (like me, for example) don't know your geographical locale. Care to fill us in?chasPS: We 78 lovers also plan a class action suit :) | |
| Tube or SS DAC/Player with Tube Preamp? I prefer to limit the number of places where my sound can be colored as much as tube rolling can do. Hence, with the tube pre (a fine choice there, by the way) you've got the key place to control your sound with tubes. I disagree with those who in... | |
| Hidden GEMS Stan Warren, Dan Wright, Stephen Sank. Give these guy's the right piece of gear and let them do their thing. Often costs a ton less than the gear it will successfully compete with. I just got my Moscode 300 back from Steve after his max blowout re... | |
| Does Odyssey = ODL? same company? Neilro:You must have been VERRRRY LUCKY. The two amps are most decidedly NOT the same, at least not in build quality! The only thing ODL steals from is Odyssey ;) There have been a ton of posts across the web from dissatisfied ODL owners, though O... | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... Actually, CornFedBoy was spot on - it's the music. I can listen to Dwight Yoakum, for example, on anything capable of making some semblance of the sound. Do I prefer to hear it on good gear - naturally. But I first fell for music listening to Chic... | |
| Favorite solo piano players...cds Liz Story - it's simply beautiful music. chas | |
| Rega or Musical Fidelity ? I don't know the MF player, but I have heard the Rega a couple times in a couple of decent setups, and talked about it with a few dealers, and it didn't impress me or them. We all pretty much agree with Creepers assessment, though the word I heard... | |
| TUBE....Starting with Power or Preamp ? Supakit:We can't really answer the "sound" questions as posed, exactly, because it's so very dependant on what gear you're actually using. Speaking VERY GENERALLY, though, the tube amp will give you the full "tube sound" right from the start, with... | |
| Subwoofer Question Gunbei:Initially I'd leave the phase alone, and try to get to where you already are in integrated bass before fooling with it. The process for setting phase on a sub is a little complicated and is best done with a test tone cd. What you do is reve... | |
| Subwoofer Question Gunbei:I haven't tried it (Luckily, I haven't had to), but in theory it should be possible to do. The theory is that the location of a properly set up sub, operating at the correct crossover, should not be audibly detectable. At least that's the t... | |
| Putting together a new system Johnny:I lean towards the speakers first, myself. They're probably going to be the lions share of the budget, and they're what I think really define the sound of a system. By that I mean that unless you have speakers capable of presenting the soni... | |
| Alarm systems. El Gordo:Both my alarm systems had speakers (or sirens, or whatever those blasted noise blasters are properly called) mounted in the attic at the gable end vents. This protected them from the elements, yet broadcast the sound outside. I have also ... | |
| Party At Albertporter s Albert:Ok if I bring some turn of the century 78's? They're wierd, but what party fun!!chas | |
| CD Recommendations Lev:Dunno whether it's "New Age" or "modern classical" or exactly where to categorize it, but check out Liz Story. Very beautiful solo piano. You can hear samples at www.cdnow.com of this and gabillions of other cds. I find it an easy way to try o... | |
| Am I on the right analog track? Yep - definitely right track. And Psychic has it right,as well, I think. The NAD phono pre ain't all it can be, by a mile and a tenth, IMHO. I'm not completely enthralled by my Creek OBH-8, either, but it's better than the NAD (on either my NAD am... |
