| Breakthrough Evidence of the Beatle's Genius? Our latest addition (1.5 year old Annette-Lucile who is a little orange kitten) has had her own CD since we found her 15 months ago. Not a clue as to why she likes it so much (Dusty Trails), but she runs about the living room making chirping noise... | |
| Can sibilance be eliminated? Sibilance is a natural occurrence in song/speech. 99% of the recordings I've experienced depict this (100% of the older live performances I've attended as well, prior to them receiving digital help/bandaids in the "near" real time).Other than teet... | |
| Speaker Wire. Hokum or Truth? The table @ the supplied link in regard to gauge VS distance contradicts the results many (including myself) have experienced with 47 Labs OTA cable, which is .4mm/26 gauge "solid core" copper wire used in single parallel runs as speaker cable.The... | |
| mixing kimber kable in ht 4VS is a bit less detailed than 4TC, but I'd say it's still a good tonal match when used full range. Try it, don't think you will have a problem.I used both types 4-5 years ago in various configurations. | |
| Sistrum or Neuance or...? Ohlala:I notice that a certain pinheaded poster, in the old thread, has @ least changed his moniker since then, but unfortunately his delivery remains the same.I purchased a commercial audio rack and Neuance shelves shortly after the old thread di... | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? A yellow 45 with the theme song from the western series "Cheyenne". Can't remember what the flip side is.I won my second 45 (Elvis's "Blue Hawaii") @ my father's company picnic by driving a spike all the way into a 2x4 with 2 whacks of a hammer. T... | |
| O.K. Fess Up. Come Clean. Sing Like A Canary. I wake up every 20 minutes, or so, even when I'm not asleep, so the answer would be approx. 20 minutes. | |
| Interconnect to tame bright sounding CDP Get another CD player (that you enjoy the sound of). | |
| Best and Worst Websites in Audio'dom Best:1. mulletsgalore.com2. audioasylum.com3. audiogon.comI visit a couple other great specialty sites (geared towards single driver and/or high efficiency speakers), but figure the above 3 to be real crowd pleasers. | |
| Mapleshade Cables Hi Joe:The Mapleshade cables I've used/tried were the double Helix digital cable (it's currently on loan to a friend as I no longer use an external DAC) and their power cords.I like/liked the digital cable. The power cords did not work out with th... | |
| Corroded tube pins - need help What is Scotch-Brite (the 100% Irish need not reply)? | |
| How do you know when to use ANALOG vs DIGITAL? Why is "analog" spelled funny sometimes? Are these different cables than regular old analog/digital cables? Are the ones with the added "ue" better, or just "funny"?There are a couple other "funny" spelled words used round here, but I can't think ... | |
| JBL 4410a a classic or a dust collector? How old are they? A bit confused as I've seen new, they looked new anyway, 4410's (not certain about the "a") within the past year and a half. They were @ a local DJ shop (3 drivers - fairly large woofer - maybe 24" high in utility cab's).If vinta... | |
| Mapleshade Cables I once returned two of their power cords. No problems, no hassles.I do find their advertising copy interesting (to say the least), but all of their people I've dealt with (Pierre, Eldon and another young man answering the phone/can't recall his na... | |
| Corroded tube pins - need help I use metal polish (Flitz) followed up with electrician's alcohol (on non-gold plated pins).Burnishing cloth (the purple/cloth sand paper) works as well.I never use contact enhancer (Pro Gold, etc.) on tube pins, just 99.95%+ alcohol or a non-resi... |
