| Patricia Barber at the Green Mill in Chicago I lived in uptown for four years during high school (graduated 1977), in a "commune" during the pre-gentrified days. Clark and Wilson. I remember Blue Oyster Cult playing at The Uptown (which was pretty rundown in those days), but could never affo... | |
| Top Secret Ear Tool Neat. I thought the answer was going to be "Q-tips"! | |
| Are Audio Dealers Missing the Boat? Sean, Kurt said: "I would not be wanting the middle man to be any more than a escrow holder/warehouse actually. (They don't need to be an inspector). "I just wanted to point out that escrow services already exist and are used by at least some Agon... | |
| Are Audio Dealers Missing the Boat? Kurt, It may be that you want an escrow service, not a dealer. Has anyone used these services, and did you find sellers receptive to the idea? | |
| Has audiophilia changed your music taste? Great question. I think yes, my taste has changed. But I also think that at the time I started to get into improving my system, I was ready to listen to different music, more jazz and vocals, less rock 'n roll. I was ready to appreciate tone and s... | |
| source disappointment Hi Wheeler,I am certainly of the "trust your ears" persuasion.I would be curious to hear your experience with other "reference" CDs. The Getz/Gilberto was one of my 3 reference CDs until recently, you know the ones you take with you to listen to g... | |
| Used Classe CDP 0.3 or new Music Hall CD25? p.s. I have heard these both (but not side-by-side) and they are both to my taste. The Music Hall is surprisingly non-digital for an inexpensive player. I'm afraid that doesn't help, but I would personally be happy with either one. If cost were si... | |
| Used Classe CDP 0.3 or new Music Hall CD25? I think it's fine for Bianchi to say here that he doesn't buy from China for political reasons. For many of us, next to our houses and cars, our audio system is our largest purchase, so a reasonable place to make an politcal/economic statement.It'... | |
| Best method for 2 sets of speakers from 1 system? How about just listening closely to the main system with and without the box in place, and decide for yourself whether there is degradation in sound? Let us know what you find.I am in the process of solving a similar problem in a different way. I ... | |
| Could This Be Your Next Power Conditioner? I'm impressed. | |
| Working backwards... Hi Ekistler,I think the reason that using pre-out is discouraged here is that the preamp sections people want to use this way aren't that great compared to good dedicated preamps. So I agree that it's a good idea to move to a dedicated pre-amp. Bu... | |
| Cd Recorders? The PDR-W839 is discontinued, btw, the only way to get it currently is as a refurb. I bought it mainly because Stan Warren likes the Burr/Brown DAC it uses, and believes it can be modified to sound good if the analog inputs and outputs are replace... | |
| Working backwards... Here's a thought for you -- continue to use your integrated (via pre-out) as your pre-amp for the time being. That will allow you to wait and save and put the money toward a nicer preamp. The preamps you listed just won't get you that much more th... | |
| Cd Recorders? Hi,I bought a consumer-grade copier last year, a Pioneer PDR-W839. I found that playback quality wasn't very good, very bright and digitally. However, I found that copies made on this recorder were indistinguishable (to me) from the originals, and... | |
