| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy, in the key areas of performance the Duelund wire does much better than the old Cardas stranded copper, and maybe will continue to open up through extended break-in. It's interesting that in the course of PMing an audio friend who had al... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference I'm not alone in this-- the experience is shared by several acquaintences with top digital front ends. Give it a try overnight, you may like it. | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference Really! I'd be interested to hear others' experiences on this. | |
| Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil Volleyguy, be interesting to have your viewpoint on a stereo pair with the Duelund silver wire. After a few hundred hours I'm still undecided about this wire. The presentation has lots of satisfying weight and embodiment, but may be a tad over-dam... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference A CDP has the disadvantage of requiring 4-6 hrs or more warm-up to sound its subtle best. A TT drive system reaches most of its potential in a half hour or so. So practically speaking, for a fair comparison between the formats the CDP should be le... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference Dev, I want to be democratic and give/take as much as possible, knowing that vinyl involves more of a learning curve than most aspects of audio and everyone is moving along on that continuum. Thus generalizations about vinyl are really only intere... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference Okay, I over-reacted to Dev's post. But what got me going is also evident in Dev's last post-- that to surpass your reference digital system required a "new journey" into analog with esoteric equipment or set-up skills. (You are still a bit myster... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference Has2be, I don't dispute the criticality of proper set-up or knowledge generously disseminated by some experts on the forums. My problem is with those who maintain that correct set-up is less commonly sighted than a unicorn. Vinyl can tend toward b... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference Dev, the OP's statements about the unconditional superiority of vinyl invited controversy. Digital technology has marched foward with increasing over-lap in quality with analog front ends, particularly as experienced in the broad middle of the hob... | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference lack of... ? Perhaps an inability to complete one's thought, or an incuriousity about SOTA digital? | |
| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference "(RBCD) does not do the various things as well as good vinyl, but it does them competently.....and you don't feel 'soiled' when listening to redbook"I've arrived psychologically at a similar place as Mike L. on this point. The things that used to ... | |

| Amy Winehouse.RIP Agree with Blkadr on every point. The expression of so much animus toward this artist says more about the scourging effect of tabloid media than anything else. Moveover extreme animus often suggests that something really original and interesting (... | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP These interdependencies extend from artists into other human endeavors and deserve a more nuanced perspective than most are willing to consider. A recent study of Freud and the pioneering surgeon William Halsted gets to the point. http://www.nytim... |
