| Which Rack Is Better? Dekay: thanks for all of this. Would the rosewood finish be just on the shevles, or is it the posts also? Because if it's just on the shelves and I went Neuance on all the shelves, the rosewood wouldn't matter. | |
| Sony 9000 ES SACD output stage cold I'm going to take a flyer here (is that the expression?) and suggest that some audiophiles may not like the sound of SACD. In many ways it is not "spectacular." Compared to redbook CDs, it may strike you as softer and less well defined and you may... | |
| Best Unknown Jazz Album Anyone ever heard Dave Liebman's Lookout Farm album on ECM? The first cut is a marvel of mid-70s fusion, with touches of Santana and the Dead (and I'm not a fusion fan).Man, I wish I could find a clean copy of this. | |
| Which Rack Is Better? They had some left in rosewood, which I do not want. None in black, and they didn't say anything to me about making them again. I did not speak directly with John, and this was before I read your last post, dekay.The current PS line does not have ... | |
| Which Rack Is Better? I may do just that. This is for the main system and the rack will go directly onto a hardwood suspended floor. As you say, if I don't like the way the synergy sounds, i can re-purpose it. | |
| Which Rack Is Better? I checked because my Target rack was damaged in shipment and was the last one. So now I'm back in decision mode again. Somebody shoot me, please. | |
| Which Rack Is Better? The PA line is discontinued, alas. | |
| Best HDTV? I was having fun imagining a 50 foot Runco plasma screen.Any feeling for reliability and service track record on the Aconda? | |
| Where might I find cheater plugs? I'm surprised no one is marketing "audiophile grade" cheater plugs. :-) | |
| Why so many Hydra's for sale There was just a $500 price increase on the Hydras (Shunyata, that is shameful!). That could have something to do with it, though I'm not exactly sure how or why. | |
| Cables, a case history of an Agnostic Thanks. Scott uses the Audiodharma Cable Cooker, which costs $649 (!!!). But, unlike the MOBIE, it does everything: RCA and XLR ICs, digital cables (RCA, BNC), speaker cables, and power cords Anybody in the SF Bay Area (a BAAS member would be good... | |
| Preamp for Pass X350. I have an X150 and have had excellent results with the Placette. And you should certainly consider the PAss pre-amp. Wth tubes, be mindful that the output impedence of the pre-amp should be 1/10th or less the input impedence of the X-350, which is... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Thanks for all the input everybody. It's the damndest thing, but the brightness has gone away. I loaned the First Sound to a friend for a few days, and ever since its return it has not sounded bright at all with the Pass amp. This hobby can be so ... | |
| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? I agree with you, thunders. The analogy I often use is boats. Some people spend a ton on their boating hobbies.The only problem is I also want that $35K car... | |
| Cables, a case history of an Agnostic What are the "good" cable burners and where can you find them for purchase? |
