| Removing Oak Side Rails From Magnepans I heard from Mr Vandermye from Mye Sound via email today regarding this subject today.I was very curious to hear that he, too, removes the side panels with the belief that it reduces diffraction effects.So I think mine will soon be history. | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? TwlI am a fan of your thinking and writing, but with respect, perhaps you are being a little harsh here. Sure, its true there were tons of mass marketed, crap DD turntables in the 70's. Cheap lightweight plastic cases, silly strobe lights, lousy a... | |
| Magneplanars for Bedroom Home Theatre? DouglasThank you. Excellent info in your reply, although I was a bit disappointed with just "very pleased" in the end. After all that, I was expecting you to be "thrilled, blown away, two thumbs up, destroys comparably priced box speakers" or some... | |
| New Condo, time to downsize?? From a philosphical perspective, I recommend that you NEVER "downsize"Good luck | |
| Top ten DD turntables of all time? Some of my happiest high end memories took place when I was using a Kenwood KD-500 direct drive turntable -- a high end cult favourite in the late 70'sTweaky platter mat, some clay like stuff called "platter matter" stuck to the undersidea good re... | |
| Evangelical Denos in the War Against MP3 I hope this thread didnt bore everyone!?Actually, I am afraid this question is VERY HARD to answer.At least for me, which is why I posted it.Like most Agoners, I enjoy many different types of music, obscure old recordings, geeked out audiophile cl... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? To further define and examine this debate, here is another dimension:INSECURITY!!!!!!!-- both that of the audiophile believers and their skeptics.We like (and perhaps need) to justify the enormous effort and expense that can go into all this. Non ... | |
| Suggestions for the best SS amp for Tympani 4a's Have you thought about a Mark Levinson 23.5?Mine was highly recommended "off the record" by the factory. | |
| Burning CD-Rs from iTunes and Apple Lossless Files OK Big BummerThis still isnt working well. The other day, I put the Apple Lossless burned CD into the car and it just sat there for at least 5 minutes ?!?!?!? Then it finally decided to load the disc.Every other crappy, sometimes scratched CDs, pl... | |
| Least Controversial, Reasonably Priced AC Upgrades Thanks everyone so far --I have now seen some of the beefy industrial transformers on the web, and here is one quick question:If I have a dedicated line leading to a new panel, then leading to as few as 2 Alpert Porter Wall outlets in my listening... | |
| Least Controversial, Reasonably Priced AC Upgrades Psychic I would be more than happy to send CDs to you or anyone else who could hold my hand through this project.I have been posting on Agon for a while now and I am not afraid to search the archives, but somehow this whole AC thing just baffles m... | |
| Burning CD-Rs from iTunes and Apple Lossless Files LigiI have not heard improvements with Apple Lossless but have found it to be acceptably high fidelity and the files are still compressed to some degree which saves disc space.Another benefit over WAV files for iPod users is that they dont drain b... | |
| Now I Really Need a Power Conditioner? ? Thanks for info so far. It seems there is a very wide price range on these devices, as well as huges differences in size and complexity.Could anyone recommend a particular manufacturer, kw output, amperage output etc. for a reasonably sized genera... | |
| Am I really smart or really stupid? I'll vote for "really smart", subject only to the assumption that your equipment is not "dried out" and is working more or less in good repair.The Yamaha C-2, although "high end" at the time, was nonetheless considered a "sleeper" -- even better t... | |
| "hard bop" jazz heads.... StehnoNo offense, but it sounds like you could use some remedial training and a bit more time.I am not an expert, but for starters there could be a bit of a problem including Diana Krall Patricia Barber and Miles Davis in the same sentence.I'll be... |
