| John Hartford I never followed John's musical carreer, but used to tune into the Glen Cambell show as a kid (he was the only reason to do so) to watch/listen to him. Seems that I saw him later on in a PBS show filmed along a river bank with other folk greats. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Asa: Please include your detailed observations on the Audio Note cable and we can, at least, compare the cables in this thread for a start. If it is of a similar design (the OTA is .4 mm, or 26 gage solid core copper wire with a thick Teflon, I th... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? I pretty much stopped listening to music from 1985 to 2000 with exception of a few music vidios, plays, the Hollywood Bowl and friends performing locally. I sold all of my gear (a tube based Ls3/5a system) and most of my vinyl in 1985 and spent my... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I have approx. 250 hours on both the IC's and the speaker cable at this point and have been running it in 7 hour stretches with an hour or so of rest between them. The sound has been fairly stable past 200 hours and I wonder if the deviation that ... | |
| Absolute Power Cord Fleeceba: Yes, for $50 a pop pick one up and give it a try. I use one on a Pioneer W839 CDR and on my Audion amp in the living room system. They are not in the same league as the the BMI Whale PC's that I use on the source components, but they are... | |
| Smear campaign? Hi Trelja: I think that I know the EMC-1 poster that you are referring to. I had no comment to make other than that I did not care much for "their" favorite player (which I recently auditioned), so decided to pass. | |
| Leave well enough alone Jeff: I do stuff like that all the time. I once destroyed a very rare snowdome from the 1939 World's Fair while attempting to repair it for my wife (the inside plaque, some type of early plastic or maybe Mica, was so frail that it disintigrated wh... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Yes, but what about the background noise that the beer creates, not to mention the sound of the toilet constantly flushing after 2-3 hours into the drinking/listening session. My current cocktail (not by choice) is 10mg Methadone/100MG Zoloft/4 mg... | |
| power cord Boy, it looks like we should start another BMI thread. I will be ready to properly audition mine in a few more weeks (finally). They will by then have approx. 800 hours on them. | |
| Best acoustical guitar - any type music Another good player is Juan Gabriel and I have always enjoyed Bob Dylan's early acoustic guitar work (it is a little rude and rambunctious, but he is very good at orchestrating a song). I have other CD's of artists on the Winham Hill label (promos... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Gregg: I always found Hine Rare & Delicate to be the best bang for the buck in recent years (I sold specialty food, wine and liquor for 7 years). | |
| 8 Ohm Speakers Big: It is the X-A1 integrated that would not handle the bass on a pair of Tukans that a local dealer loaned us (I ended up with the speakers almost out to the middle of the room and kept saying "It must be the room, It must be the room":-). My tu... | |
| Best acoustical guitar - any type music Dusan Bogdanovic "Worlds" which is gut string guitar. You won't care about the sound quality. | |
| problems with musical fidelity A3cd Pefstratiou: Good, I am happy that you were able to rectify the situation. In two of my three transactions with Audio Advisor I have received defective merchandise. I ended up paying for the shipping on a defective amp that I purchased and returne... | |
| 8 Ohm Speakers Not all tube amps have problems with 4 ohm load. My Audion Silver Night definately does not and neither did an early version of the little Decware amp that I played around with late last year (it actually performed better, IMO, into a 4 ohm load a... |
