| demagnitizing CD s? Albert I think there are two types of Mag Lev trains in existence today (as far as I know) – one uses attractive magnetic forces and the other uses repulsive magnetic forces. Keep in mind that electricity and magnetism are forever linked together ... | |
| Soundstage - Too much? PerfectImage ... This maybe a little late but here goes. To get a better handle on what reflections really mean in the sound space take a look at what F.Alton Everst says later in his book. Start on page 298 in Chapter 16 "Sound Reflections in enc... | |
| Jeff Rowland amps, any coments? What happened to your Model 12s that caused you to send them back for repair? I am considering a Rowland 8Ti so any information about reliability is appreciated. | |
| upsampling? Garfish, Agreed - Pick your semantics upsampling or oversampling. Hoe I didn't come off as upsampling was the only way to go. As far as dCS and Levinson is concerned, they are both great gear. Cheers - Dan | |
| upsampling? I own the Delius and the Purcell. Listening at 24/192 spoils one very quickly. Even my wife can't stand listening at 16/44.1 anymore. If you have a chance to audition these two together - do it. dCS is also planning on releasing a new product late... | |
| Best 3-way or 4-way speaker under $15K I would definitely recommend the Nautilus Series, especially the 801 if you have the room or the 802. I would also recommend the Revel Salon. I own the 802's and love them. Other speakers mentioned here are very very good. I will depend on your mu... | |
| Shakti Stone? To see if the Stone is effective as anything other than a mass loading effect find an object the same weight as the stone and place it on the component in question. If the Stone has a real effect then you should be able to tell between the two. Ha... | |

| Upgrade Time Again.... please help One more thing … Not to play the “heavy” here, but I did ask for informed opinions. Please try to explain your views for the benefit of others here. If you have a Tube vs. SS axe to grind or all you can offer is speculation then please refrain fro... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help I must admit I enjoy the three dimensional sound stage that my tube amps give. But are you saying that all of the quality SS amps listed above will not give a large deep soundstage. | |
| Do TubeTraps require symmetry? Tony has give lots of good information. You might want to check out the article "Optimizing ASC Tube Traps" at http://www.tubetrap.com/articles/iar89.htm - Dan | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help The Accuphase A50v lists for $15K and the Boulder 1060 lists for $18K acourding to the Audioreview Web page which is ussually close on the more recent stuff. Cheers - Dan. | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Not to get off topic, but Sean what tweaks did you make to your Justa-Rack. I have two of these and I found your comments very interesting. - Dan | |
| Soundstage - Too much? A wide and deep soundstage is important. You can have too much of a good thing if you get a wide deep soundstage at the expense of placement/timbre accuracy in the soundstage. On a good recording on a good system the instruments should have weight... | |
| Upgrade Time Again.... please help I will certainly try to report my findings here. This leaves me with a conundrum. I wish I could just go down to my local dealers and start auditioning all these amps. But I have a hard time "wasting" a dealer's time if I know I am auditioning an ... |
