Results of granite platforms for Silverl
Sorry: I thought that I was posting to the "Shelf Material" thread. 
Results of granite platforms for Silverl
I discussed the use of Maple for shelving with Pierre of Mapleshade and was told that gluelams are fine as long as the seams are vertical (visibal from the top or bottom of the shelf like butcherblock). Horizontal layered seams I was told ruin the... 
Greatest Guitar Band
I just picked up "The Best of Pete Townshend, Cool walking, smooth talking, straight smoking, firestoking" today. These are modern renditions of some of his older songs. They do not have the wild resonance of concerts played at race tracks, stadiu... 
Best Digital Cable around $100 used
Mikesiowa: What did the Mapleshade do better in your system? There are not a lot of customer reviews on these cables and I would be interested in hearing your take on the cable if you have the time. PS: I have one on order (the Double Helix). Thanks. 
Wrong direction?
When I wrote the above post, I did not think of the fact that the selection of my Musical Fidelity amplifier was based on a review by Hi-Fi Choice. I could not audition the amp locally and had the option of returning the amp less shipping within 3... 
Tube Preamp Recommendations
Doug, you were having problems with your Melos a while back. Was it just some stupid assembly mistake that was causing the problem? 
Velodyne Sub Trouble
The low E note on a bass guitar is around 40-41 htz, I beleive. 
Sarah Brightman Concert
Sam: Jim Nabors gives off that same impression on the old Gomer Pyle reruns when the sound is muted. 
Wrong direction?
Dragon: Many people feel the same way about the Acadamy Awards, the Grammy's, etc.. Some people can walk into a wine shop and select an excellent bottle of wine without memorizing Robert Parker's or The Wine Spectator reviews. Some people can walk... 
Greatest Guitar Band
Mikec: If you have not yet, check out the Cowboy Junkies. They will change your mind about one new band, theirs anyway. The one thing that I find missing in most modern popular songs is the guitar solo. Where is it? 
CAL Audio or other CD/DVD players
Hi Scott: I own the CAL Icon Mk II and have been very happy with it. I place it on a sheet of MDF over Vibrapods and have also switched the power cord to a Harmonic Tech. Pro 11. These additions cost another $150.00 but were worth it to me. It has... 
Greatest Guitar Band
Thanks Mikec: Little Wing is one of my favorite's done by JH. The only time that I have heard SRV was on a TV special that showed concert footage a couple years back, and I was very impressed. He did a Hendrix tune then but I think that it was dif... 
Mapleshade versus Stealth
Come on Carl. Where is your sense of adventure? Let's hear about the Stealth cables, pretty please. LOL. 
Will a DAC mellow Denon DCM 360
Thanks Ehider. Very interesting. Didn't an industry publication follow up on the findings of your gruop? Seems like I read that somewhere, maybe at AA. 
Help me find a smooth solid-state amp?
Djjp: Sorry I typed 500 and meant 300 hours above. Still quite a long time, though my little Castles took around 200 or so being played at lower levels.
