| California Audio Show 2012 Agree with you about Audio Note. Their rooms pretty much always sound the way this one does -- unfailing in communicating the music and connecting you with it, and without much regard to genre or even recording quality. Also agree about the Gallos... | |
| ok to break in phono preamp w/ non lp source? To follow up on my earlier post about the Granite Audio discs -- they output at suitably low levels for this application, like the KAB device. Which I expect is why the MC and MM discs are separate. The MM output is too great for an MC phono stage... | |
| Opinions on Reference LP Digitization System ... Isn't the Channel D phono preamp sans RIAA, which is then applied in software by the computer? I think there's a very good case to be made for going that way. You can choose from different equalizations, use pop and click removal if you want, appl... | |
| Opinions on Reference LP Digitization System ... You might look at the Lynx Hilo A/D - D/A, which Rob from Channel D has been demoing with lately. It should equal or better the AES16.

| improving bass on large floorstanders.... Tgrisham, did you do the Sumiko Master Set yourself or have someone do it for you? | |
| Should I upgrade to a Manley Chinook phono pre-amp Can anyone comment on the Chinook compared to a maxxed-out K&K phono pre? | |
| Help Me select Mini Not meant to challenge Steve's expertise but to offer some perspective...I just replaced my circa 2007 Mini with the latest Mini and stuffed it with 8GB RAM. Required a move from Snow Leopard to Lion. IMO, the new one sounds considerably better. | |
| A Capital Audiofest 2012 thread Nice, mapman.You are the Kirk, the creator. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I'd give them a good 18-20 years. | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved You are suggesting that Joe the Plummer [sic] can do better Remastering in his garage, on his laptop?Is PO confusing file conversion with mastering? That could be part of the problem. | |
| Best way to run in your Cable Elevators? He's havin' a laff. The earlier thread was funny in an Andy Kaufman sort of way. Now you're trying too hard. | |
