| Why vinyl? I'm with you. I love CD's and the digital technology. Once the music is numberized, the possibilities are unlimited! The best vinyl may have an edge (over redbook), but the future belongs to digital. I think vinyl persists because digital takes th... | |
| What's wrong with my Adcom ACE-515? These take 30-60 seconds to activate -are you waiting long enough after turn on? Also, I have one of the (two) AC cords plugged into the unit itself (can't remember why -s'been about 12 years since purchase... I suggest reading the owners manual. | |
| Auctions - why bid early? I cancelled an auction when it got no bids. Got messages asking "what happend to the auction?". Sorry but I don't do auctions for your "entertainment". If you want something, lock it in with minimum bid and then you can watch it till the wheels co... | |
| Your Favorite Austin City Limits Don Williams on PBS "Soundstage". Finest performance of live music. Truly, close to perfection. WHEN CAN WE HAVE THESE ON DVD???? | |
| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? These are great speakers (remember, no bottom octave). They let me know that my "Tiny Island" SACD was recorded first to analog tape whereas my "reference speakers" (more than twice as expensive) didn't. If the rest of your system is up to them, t... | |
| Check out pics from Sweden Hi Fi Show Yumpin' Yimminy! What bad english! Had to stop reading... -was tying my brain into knots! Some pretty cool gear, however... | |
| Sand or Lead shot Due to its toxicity, I wouldn't mess around with raw lead.I've heard about coated lead or maybe it was brass shot. In any case, no sonic benifit is worth the risk of dealing with raw lead. | |
| Coincident Tech's Partial Eclipse vsRevel's F-30?? Coincident speaks can be had for SET and non SET alike. Just tell dealer which kind you want. If you're not using SET amp, I'd go with Thiel 1.6 and powered subwoofer. The sound is tops and leads more easily into multi-channel. I've heard the part... | |
| Oxidation and bare silver or silver coated wire??? I'm not a metallurgist but I've heard that oxidized silver actually conducts better than new copper. | |
| What is upsampling? Please refer to the extensive posts in this site's archives. | |
| Lionel Hampton one of the Best of ever has died The CBS "Sunday Morning" show did a nice piece about Mr. Hampton this morning. The world is less interesting due to his passage. | |
| Using subs as speaker stands ? My friend has the configuration you're considering and it works really, really well. FYI, his bass/base modules have two 12" woofers per cabinet in an isobarik array. I'm not certain they are the "Taylo" model but they are definitely Tyler. | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? Jschrimpf: Your'e right, I opened the package and there was a "certificate of authenticity" (isn't this getting a little to fancy?). My main system is boxed up (PLEASE see my auction) so can't vouch for sonics but sure sounds like new disk has gai... | |
| Help with FedEx claim......What would YOU do? Dude: What does it say on your receipt?Surly you looked at it before you walked away from the FedEx desk.If it says "Insured for $3000", get a lawyer. | |
| Are you going to buy the Rolling Stones SACDs? I just bought (what I think) is a current reissue but nowhere on the packaging does it say "DSD", "SACD", etc.It's in one of those cardboard type containers (not plastic jewel box). Should I open it or is this some kind of record company scam?Anyo... |
