| 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... | |
| I am Not hurting anything right ?? I recall reading in another thread about the practice of using a jumber on the (-) side only in a bi-wire setup. Does anyone do this? I did not understand the explanation that was given before (and probably won't this time either if it comes up). | |
| Is 500 hours of break in really nec.? PS: In regard to the Coincident cables and 500 hours (that's a long time!). I would hope that they sound pretty good at 200 hours or so and that the rest of the time is just fine tuning. I have found many cables to sound "good" at 100 hours or so ... | |
| Is 500 hours of break in really nec.? If you have duplicates of any cable it is easy enough to test. I have already done it with Homegrown Super Silver IC's (had two pairs), Kimber Kable (had two double runs), BMI Whale PC's (have two) and Absolute PC's (have three and one of them has... | |
| Favourite / most impressive audio store Mine does not exist anymore (although it is still there I hear). It was the original Audio Labs in West Des Moines, IA and the owner was Harry (can't recall his last name). Maybe his son Elli (?, it's been 30 years) is running it now, I don't know... | |
| Going Topless What about using a sheet of kitchen aluminum foil for a top cover? I have been told that this blocks RFI and EMF (electro magnetic?) and at one time used it between an amps external power supply and my CD player which were cramped togther. | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Other than room reflections, etc. if you like the sound of the L-100's why not try and find a single one for the center channel and then have all three refurbished at once? I don't do HT myself but have listened to some otherwise nice setups in wh... | |
| System sounds different, depending... Gunbei: We have two power companies that supply greater LA. I believe that we are on different systems as just two blocks South of us the other company takes over in LA proper (we are in West Hollywood). My system was having severe problems 3-4 mo... | |
| Best CD source? Go to the local thrift shops and flea markets and do some digging. I do not use vinyl anymore but have my choice of thousands of LPs' in the local LA thrift shops for 25 cents to $1 per album (CD's are $1 to $3 each). They often get in whole colle... | |
| Don't see much on Silverline Sonata so.. Just listen to them and decide. If you already have your amplification and source (CD) set, see if you can take them along for the audition. If you can setup a home demo, then all the better. |
