| Your favorite recent discovery Fleet Foxes, "Sun Giant EP". Really nice stuff, and the recording has the sound of a really large, interesting acoustic environment, though I suspect it's been done with effects. Still, good sound. I think I'll take it to RMAF.How to describe? CSN... | |
| Technics 1200 Sent for KAB Mods - w/Audio Samples Joelv -- that new Cardas arm wire and the interconnect could probably benefit from a little break-in before you make the test recording. | |
| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? I believe the original Straightwire designer is the guy who spun off WireWorld. Sraightwire never really recovered from that. | |
| Whatever happened to Straight Wire? Straightwire Maestro was my "first love" in premium interconnects. That was quite a long time ago. | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Thanks for that detailed and very instructive explanation, Kurt. Your journey is very interesting and your discussion of tinnitus and hyperacusis in an audiophile context is the best I have seen. I am sure you are a legitimate authority on the sub... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Up above, the Revelator is a ScanSpeak product. The good Seas tweeter is the Excel. I think. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Yeah, you seem to making a lot of leaps, Shadorne. That is, unless you have heard this model of Revel. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire vs Revel Studio2 Great report. If you haven't done so, you might want to take your amp in and see how the two speakers sound with it. Better yet, arrange to bring the speakers home for a sleepover (maybe the Revels one weekend, the Dyns another). But it sounds as ... | |
| Harshness in tweeters: the price of transparency? Kurt, have you ever tried a pro audio speaker, especially an active design? I think Shadorne is on the right track with his reasoning and recommendation.Have you ever lived with a Seas Revelator or Dynaudio Esotar2 tweeter? If so, what did you thi... | |
| Finding ultra-pure water locally... Dumb question: how exactly do you "rinse" the record? | |
| Deep Cleaning Records With Steam? Where are you located, Viper_z? I ask because Rain Fresh is from Texas and it appears that only Whole Foods stores n Texas carry it. | |
| Chicagoland Record Shops The Jazz Record Mart at 27 E Illinois is a good place. Not a ton of vinyl these days, but I picked up four LPs there last Saturday on a business trip. Good vibe in the place. Also check out the new and used bookstore next door. | |
| Digital Cable suggestions I highly recommend the Stereovox XV2, available online from gcaudio.com. | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico I tend to drink the Kook-Aid at these things, but I have been to two Magico demos featuring Alon Wolff and left both times feeling that the price of the Minis is not out of line given the engineering and parts in them. The crossovers alone are som... | |
| Stereophile claims about Magico Mileage sure varies. I think TAS has very little meat these days. They've gone in the direction of the lame Fi magazine that many of them were part of, and it's sad. |
