| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Is the Acoustic Zen/Red Dragon pairing the AZ Adagio speakers? If so, since they are a TL design and you are a Fried aficionado, how do you assess the success of the AZ TL implementation? | |
| Nuforce Stehno: Over the years, in discussions about getting good system performance at low listening volume, you have voiced a particular point of view, which is that the amplfier is the key factor. How do you feel the Nuforce amps perform in this respect? | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas So what did you end up doing, Aktchi? | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? It wouldn't prove anything I don't think, but it certainly would be interesting. You would want identical arms and cartridges, equally broken in and meticulously set up to the same exacting parameters. But even if you couldn't manage that, you wou... | |
| Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's? "Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?"The answer is NO, if superior audio quality is desired of course. Otherwise we might as well get I-PODs.Computer to DAC is quite a bit different from an iPod, so you lost me there. But more gener... | |
| I think it is time to retire Whenever this topic comes up, it is applied to rock musicians. If you substitute another genre, you may see it in a different light. Jazz musicians play until they drop and why shouldn't they? Even though Sonny Rollins is way past his prime, peopl... | |
| Paul Speltz speaker cables Jeremy, did you twist the pairs yourself or buy them twisted? A couple of months ago, I bumped against one of my Speltz pairs and it rubbed up against the chassis of my amp and shorted. Got a little poof and a smear of white on the cable jacket. N... | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts Yesterday I saw Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band close out the first weekend of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. Easily one of the best concerts I have ever seen, in part because of the setting and Bruce's remarkable abi... | |
| High priced power cable what about the romex But it doesn't describe an audio system very well at all. You don't benefit by strengthening the links in a chain that are stronger than the weakest one, but that does not hold for an audio system, that is my point. You could choke a system with t... | |
| High priced power cable what about the romex "Your system is as good as its weakest link"I read this a lot, but I think it's wrong. An audio system is not a chain, it is a system. If it were only as good as its weakest link, then why is it that I can upgrade ANY part of my system and improve... | |
| Tracking Force Gauges How would they address it except by creating a gauge that allows you to position the reading platform outside of the platter and adjust its height to align with the top of the platter plus a little bit. The $95 gauge reads pretty low to the platte... | |
| Tracking Force Gauges Good question. They supply a 5g weight with the gauge, which will re-calibrate to that weight. But I have not verified the accuracy of that weight and it certainly is not of the quality of calibration weights made for the scientific community.Howe... | |
| Tracking Force Gauges I bought one and think it's great. Very easy to use and foolproof. | |
| Military Spec Nuclear Shielded Speaker Cable? Works fine on subs. Har!!! | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? This topic belongs in the Audiogon Hall of Fame. Absolutely brilliant stuff here (if you exclude my posts). |
