| Future of this hobby? Jax2...Thanks for the tip. We will see if Topsy Turvy is in the NetFlix library. | |
| Future of this hobby? .The hobby was different back in the early fifties when I got involved. "Involved" is the right word. We had to wire up our own electronics, and design and build our loudspeaker (just one of them). It was a "hands on" quest for sonic perfection. A... | |
| The new guy has a question.... I assume that the Sunfire SS Processor does its thing in the digital domain, which means that, if you put in an analog signal it is digitized, processed, and reconverted to analog for output. This would mean that the Sunfire A/D and D/A hardware i... | |
| A simple question from the new guy .... Look (or in this case Listen) before you leap. There are some Audiogon folk who vehemently deny that any significant LP surface noise exists, and there are others, like me, who find that surface noise, to use your words, "drives me nuts". The only... | |
| jolida issues? first tube amp There is one good thing about a "mass market" product...most of the bugs have been worked out before you get yours. Low production products, whether they be audio amps or balistic missile guidance systems cannot get the extent of pre-release evalu... | |
| Determining polarity? and Modulus3A question also If you can't hear any difference due to polarity, (which doesn't surprise me) why bother? | |
| Maggie MG12 Tweaks Based on my experience with MG1.6, your urge to tweek something would be best accomodated by replacing the iron core inductor of the crossover with an air core inductor. Leave the stock capacitors in place...they ain't bad. | |
| SACD - Dying already? Robm321...Vynil??? I guess you mean Vinyl, aka LPs.Kings claim to rule by divine right (until deposed). I support the republic of DVDA, the people's choice. | |
| Future of DVD-A If you already have a player for DVDA, why not buy a few and see what you think? My sonicly best discs are DVDA. I think that DVDA offers more features than SACD, and the PCM format is more mainstream than DSD which gives it a better chance of sur... | |
| Speaker cable gauge and amplifier power Ridgestreetaudio...Lots of luck! | |
| Quad Listener Contemplating Horns A line array configuration of cone drivers is similar to a planar speaker in the way it distributes sound, and might ease the transition from planar to boxes. Albert has some of the best, but you can get a line array for less money (if that matters). | |
| Speaker cable gauge and amplifier power Albertporter...As Sean (the missing Sean) has told us many times, some wire with exotic construction CAN affect the power amp in undesirable ways unless terminated with a Zoebel network. I don't think that cables can do the opposite...make the amp... | |
| SACD - Dying already? SACD and DVDA have obvious potential for sonic superiority over CD which, unfortunately is not always realized when discs are mastered. But this sonic improvement, vs a well made CD, will not be obvious unless the playback system is good, if not "... | |
| Clever Lil Clock - What's up with this? Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. | |
| Denon DVD 2900 not reading several cd's My Denon 2900 once in a long while has a problem loading a disc. So far I just recycle it and all is OK. However, it's nice to know where there is a good repair shop. |
