| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? I suppose it is very disturbing that someone could love the smell of new opened Nakamichi boxes.Bojack - do you really think it is the input transformers?I love the smell of styrofoam end pieces and silica gel in the morning!More gorgeous componen... | |
| ARC Preamps: Factory or Other Tubes? FrankCThank you.I was thinking more along the lines of your Sovtek and Electro Harmonix advice, and wondering how tubes like that, from a third party supplier, would compare in price and performance to the ARC stock stuff.Re NOS I guess I shouldnt... | |
| Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat? It's all about Split. | |
| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? TvadIt rounds the CDs and softens the high frequency fatigue? And throws in the tiniest amount of tape hiss - enough to get sentimetal about analogue? | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners Never thought about this before, but yes, perhaps I did buy my copy of Blue at Tower Records, London.It's definitely not harsh. | |
| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? EldartfordFurther to that point, I always found it curious - as an audiophile - to think that in the late '70s to early 80's, tape decks could make great recordings that were virtually indistinguishable to the original. (At least for laymans', if ... | |

Since others have come out of the closet, I have to admit that the smell of opening a new audio component makes me delirious.However, it's not what it used to be. Opening my Nakamichi Dragon - now that was divine. Can't explain why that distinicti... | |
| Cassette Tapes..Dolby B or C? Definitely B.But Dolby C, on a good deck, with a good tape, was a real treat. | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners I have no idea what these other posts are talking about.Blue is an excellent recording -- my copy is one of my favorite test CDs. Will check the version for you, but I don't think there is anything special about it.It's not hi fi ish, but it's a v... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? DmurfetDespite my veiled confession, I do think that clipping blows speakers more than volume, absolute power or intoxication.Relative to your speakers, could your amp be a bit underpowered? | |
| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? Another memory of a hypnotic component...I will never forget my Pioneer CTF-900 cassette deck, circa 1979, received from "Santa" for my 15th Christmas.At that time, the Pioneer tape machines were very heavy, and well made. And in contrast to the t... | |
| Do Audiophiles blow speakers? LeedistadYou, Sir, did not blow up your speakers.Your faulty preamp blew up your speakers.I stand by my position that audiophiles, when sober, do not blow up speakers. | |
