| Why so many Gallo 3 or 3.1 for sale on A'goN? Hack, I was going to respond but you said it first. The "slow bass" and "soundstage perspective" arguments are especially preposterous. Mine sound exactly the same (from 8 feet away) whether I'm sitting or standing. He obviously hasn't heard them ... | |
| Reel to reel deck -Talk me in or out of buying Kkurtis, I would suspect that lots of us use R-R decks on a regular basis. Otherwise, why are all those tapes -- the good ones at least, not the junk -- snapped up at increasingly higher prices on Ebay? I have two Teacs, one with a Dolby capabilit... | |
| The subjectivity of speaker quality For the record, they were really called "Serious Listeners."I once thought about marketing something like this called "Golden Ears," (appropriartely spray-painted, of course). Dave | |
| Reel to reel deck -Talk me in or out of buying Reel-to-reel tape is the ultimate hair shirt medium. You can't find any particular track in the middle of the tape, the tape can break or shriek or has had the treble shaved off by being played via magnetized heads. As a mechanical device, a tape ... | |
| Height of VPI Stainless HW-19 LP Clamp? You might try going clampless. I just demonstrated the merits of this to a HW-19 Mk 14 user yesterday, first with a DIY spotmat and then with my Boston Audio Mat 1. In both cases the sound opened up a lot without the clamp and there were no detect... | |
| How to be an online curmudgeon? I wish I'd written that. If anyone wonders, I didn't. Dave | |
| BEST LINE CONDITIONER UNDER $600 There is (or was) a Tice Power Block III on Audiogon at $500, an outright steal IMHO. Two audiobuddies and I have this unit and like it a lot. Dave | |
| recommendation for best low cost rca interconnect I've rewired my entire system with Petra ICs at $4.95 for a 6-foot pair. Replaced all my megabuck cables; so have some of my friends. Available at www.starlink-dss.com in both two-conductor and three-conductor (component video cable) versions No a... | |
| How do they do it???????????? Same thing just happened to me on a re-plinthed Lenco turntable shipped from Canada. Packing was flawless and the box was unmarked and showed no signs of being opened, yet one corner of the plinth was badly dinged. | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment How about Pathos amplifiers for those times when you feel really sad. And there used to be a Swedish (I think) loudspeaker line called Sinus. | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? Dweller, the main difference is that the digital scales are a LOT easier to use and get an accurate fix on the weight. But your Shure will probably do the trick for you. Good luck finding it. Dave | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Man, the things you learn on Audiogon! Thanks, Albert. | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Ah, yes, that old chestnut. Shadorne, might I suggest that you start listening to music rather than to "some experts' if you're really and truly interested in dispelling myths. | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Shadome, it's my SACD/DC player that originally cost $3,000, NOT the record player. My most expensive turntable cost less than half that much. No way is digital "undeniably better in terms of performance." As I said, give me 30 seconds and you won... | |
| What tt 's have you sold after getting a Lenco? VPI TNT Mk II. Loved it, lubed it, tweaked the hell out of it, but couldn't make it sound as good as the Lenco. |
