| Best West Los Angeles Audiophile Shops? Maybe Wilson as I am blank on the name. I purchased my Renauds from Elliot who should be carrying some new stuff if he found any winners at the LV show. | |
| C/W music Audiogon members I was raised in the Midwest but never listened to a lot of CW though I do have a few people bands that I enjoy. There was a band named "Asleep at the Wheel" that I enjoyed seeing live a few times in the mid 70's (lots of trippy steel guitar, at th... | |
| Best West Los Angeles Audiophile Shops? Hi AV and Jim: Yes, I heard that Shellie's lost their lease at the SM store (the hospital was going to tear down the buidings and put up a park). No one has mentioned LA Audio in East Hollywood. I don't shop there anymore (long story) but they car... | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement I have never listened to either of the lines, but do not form any negative opinions against Dunlavy because of one ill planned action or response from one dealer/person. I an not by any means defending the action itself, however we all suffer from... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion RedKiwi: Thanks for the info and the site. I am very enthused about the relocation as I will finally be able to experiment with speaker cable due to the shorter runs, plus I won't have to worry about the pets mixing it up with the gear anymore. | |
| Henry Kloss Model 1 Radio by Tivoli I have looked at this model as well for the bedroom. I used to own a KLH Model Twenty-One radio that was very nice for the jazz and classical stations, is this similar to the Model One, Albert? This model was also produced in the 60's. If it sound... | |
| Are Homegrown Interconnects shielded?? Swampwalker: Yes, I am using the Homegrown Super Silver anolog IC's in combination with the CAL and a Bel Canto DAC. The digital IC is a Mapleshade Double Helix which is also no slouch in detail, HF information and dynamics. I am very pleased with... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Yes Dan: I guess that I was being selfish:-) | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion RedKiwi: I have yet to try an audiophile rack and until a recent idea that my wife had (placing the electronics in a hall closet that is located just behind the speaker wall) I could think of no way to incorporate one into our living room. I know ... | |
| Audio Hype!! Well, if it will make any of you feel better, my wife's hobby is collecting souvenirs. Her plastic snowdome collection alone has cost more than $30,000 in the past 7 years. My main system right now, some of it purchased used cost under $4000.00. I... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Ps: Though on the bright side basic isolation devices such as the pods have always shown an improvement to my CD players performance over the stock feet just resting on a shelf. Any improvement or fine tuning beyond that though seem to be of a hig... | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion Dan, I have no experience with Sinks as I am too frugal. I also feel that the use of isolation devices (like many things in this hobby) will vary greatly with each individual's application as there are many variables involved. For example we all h... | |
| Dealer Ethics? - Anonymous disparagement Actually Retroguy, my comments do pertain to the thread as to compare what is acceptable behavior in an industry other than Hifi. I could also make comparisons to both the interior design and high end food and wine industries in which I have over ... | |
| Are Homegrown Interconnects shielded?? Outlier: If the Lace is anything like the Super it will require a minimum of 125 hours run in - in a setup such as yours. There was a change for the better with my Silver at around 50, but 125 sounded much better as did 200+. I ran mine in almost ... | |
| Speaker Cable Length I had looked into increasing the length of my IC's (in order to decrease my speaker cable runs) and was told that it would not be a good idea by two different manufacturers. The difference though between mine and Sam's setup is that I would have b... |
