| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? joeylawnWhat a coincidence - and thanks for the explanation of the old Yamaha lights.With the frosted plastic, rubber covers and ordinary bulbs - that explains why they were so unusual looking. So perhaps there are no OEMs of exotic switches but i... | |
| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? joeylawn3611thanks but I was especially interested in OEM of cool switches.It seems to me, reading this thread, that one of the things that differentiates components in the minds of audiophiles is anything that LIGHTS UP.Therefore, it would be int... | |
| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? An old SAE power amp just sold on ebay.Not super high end, as I recall, but the gigantic VU meters with the amber glow were also "super cool", perhaps like the Phase Linear amps mentioned just above.Quick question related to this post, would anyon... | |
| What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean? It means 1) more expensive 2) not always covered by insurance and 3)linked to fear so you will be less likely to protest and just pay the extra money. | |
| UcD vs TriPath Digital amps. As we look forward to interesting answers here, I would just like to just say, yes - violins sound like dentists' drills on most equipment. | |

| BEST AUDIOGON POSTS MarcoI have no problem with rich people collecting cars, provided their interest is sincere.I have the sense that Jay Leno genuinely loves cars, drives his motorbikes and probably even works on them.But its the type of person who asks if they can ... | |

| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? TvadYes, maybe I should scrap this high end, WAV file music server idea, and just move my entire CD collection to cassette tapes.I do think that would be an improvement! | |
| BEST AUDIOGON POSTS MarcoIn my view, you are one of the best contributors to this forum, but please please please try not to never use Steve McQueen and Ralph Lipschitz in the same sentence.There is a world of difference between people who buy cars and people who dri... | |
| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? TvadI was not being tongue in cheek.Bob PI think both of those statements can be true.To my ears (as a digital "disser") CDs 1) accentuate frequencies - or add information? - that I find fatiguing.But at the same time, digital often has 2) an abse... | |
