| Older home & 2 prong outlets, Help No Ground? I don't know whether there are safety issues to be truly concerned about, but, honestly, your system may sound better with nothing grounded. | |
| Why does this circa '75 receiver sound so good? If there's one hard lesson I should have learned from my decades as an audiophile, it is this: if you find something you like, KEEP IT. Don't assume that you can improve on the Kenwood with an Adcom or whatever. Just keep the Kenwood for as long a... | |
| Extreme Phono None-Felt Mat Residue Have you talked to Extremephono about this? Casey Ng is a great guy. I'm sure he'll have some advice for you. | |
| grateful dead remasters Steppin' Out is not a remaster, of course, but a first-time release. | |
| Any Tact RCS D2D experience? Many TacT users, myself included, use external DACs. Having the TacT in the chain may introduce additional jitter, but the room correction outweighs that for most people. However, your CDP may not take its own digital out back in again for D-A con... | |
| Diural's Roman Centurion Spk:Good or already Gone? I've heard them at the last two HE shows and have been very impressed. They do something magical in the midrange, which must be the diaural xover, right? But I find them assertively unattractive and don't think I could live with them in my living ... | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? Kal Rubinson is on Agon? What's his ID? | |
| Reactions to HP's review of Antique Sound Lab amp? I agree. JV was once the bright, shining hope of TAS, the clear heir-apparent to HP in the days before the lame-o Fi experiment. I loved reading his reviews. But since his return, he's been almost a parody of a high-end reviewer and has lost a ton... | |
| Rowland Model 2 versus Model 10 Some of the those Model 2's on the used market include the optional battery power supply, which would up the price considerably. | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension I agree completely with your comments about build quality. It is overrated. And if you are to believe the reviewers, just about everything is "built like a tank" with "fit 'n finish beyond reproach." | |
| Tube Preamps under $10k with deep bass extension WIll be very interested in your findings, Rayhall. By the way, two tweaks for the First Sound that pay off handsomely: Siemens Gold Pin 7308 tubes (a little hard to find) and the Shunyata Taipan power cord. | |
| I'm depressed, my system hurts my ears.Please help I wrestled with a similar problem when I owned Avalon speakers. I felt exactly the same despair about the whole audiophile thing--why did I do this? I thought something was wrong with my hearing, had hearing tests, read a lot of stuff on the Inter... | |

| Aerial replacement for 10T ? My sense has been that people feel the 8B is sort of a failure, generally preferring the 7B instead. I guess some of you don't agree. | |
| EMC1 mk2 vs Cary 306/200... I have not heard the Cary or the EMC. For what it's worth, I owned an Ayre for one month and did not care for it. |
