| Designer Hall of Fame I'd like to stick the late Bob Crump on the list somewhere. Not as well known as many of the others, but certainly as a modder then designer of the Blowtorch.Also what about Daniel Khesian - he's famous for something! | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- You enjoy totaling up the "full retail" cost of your whole system just to shock yourself that you own such an expensive system, but refuse to tell anyone else that figure.Use said system above to listen to listen to bootleg Springsteen concerts.Yo... | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt I have tried the product Etch All etching creme.The Etch All really did a great job or removing the metallic surfacewithin a few seconds, and supposedly does not use hydroflouric acid.I did have to mark the front of the mylar before taking the sil... | |
| Acoustic Revive RR-77 Ultra low pulse generator I like Acoustic Revive's products a lot, however the RR-77 didn't win me over.A friend pointed out It seemed to soften transients the slightest bit, and I think it pulled the soundstage back a bit. It was subtle however. Interesting that some peop... | |
| LAST record preservative I have an LP or 2 that was bought treated with last, that although was pop and tick free, to me didn't sound good (rather dead sounding). I treated a few LP's myself with Last many years ago and can't remember the sonic effect. Of course my system... | |
| great sounding cds to audition new speakers Not sure if this adds anything, but some time ago I was waiting to get into a dealer's large room, and listened to some smaller speakers in the line with one of the dealers demo CD's sitting around. it was a pretty good recording, and I thought th... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC The price is actually $3000.I heard a pre release unit at an audio club 2 months back, but I can't make any meaningful judgments about sound quality from the demo, since the gear and music was unfamiliar.But based on the quality of their current D... | |
| Speaker Technology over the last 10 years I suspect that computer modeling has made a huge impact on driver design. They can now accurately predict breakup and non pistonic behavior, and design even low cost drivers to minimize these aberrations.Though I don't have any real knowledge of m... | |
| Johnny A Flac download at hdtracks thanks for the heads up.What DAC are you using?Do you have SACD (ovbiously not that exact title) to compare the general quality. | |
| Are there any Violin or Cello players out there? What type of aftermarket power cord do people suggest with their string instruments?Okay, just had chime in with that one.......audiotweek, that sounds like quite an innovation.Roomtunes makes wood platforms for string players, (as well as singers... | |
| PC vs MAC laptop as music server Great suggestions regarding EAC. Being a Mac guy myself, maybe I will consider running EAC on Paralells/Win XP.A far as players, since OSX has direct access to the underlying core audio, I don't think any special player is needed. | |
| Dedicated Lines - Sub panel or no? Wow, what a great thread. I can't do any of things suggested here due to being a renter, and not sure even how long I'LL be in my current location. But I'm looking to buy an apartment within the next 18 months, and at that point can really investi... | |
| Is anyone using sand boxes under their speakers ? I would consider a Sistrum Stand. The SP-1 would raise the speaker up maybe 4 inches (check thier site or Talk with Robert, who can assemble the size cones you'd need.The sound quality will most likely improve as well. | |
| New fantastic room but system pissing off neighbor Thanks to everyone for offering suggestions. My Cerious Too/Bass do have separate woofers, that are decoupled using cones. The monitors also sit on sistrum stands that are cones on each end of the stand.As I mentioned I don't hear anything from an... | |
| Best Album Purchase, or Best Evaluating Record I use quite a few LP's. A number of Bill Evans (Spring leaves, At Shelly's Mane Hole - I don't yet have a copy of Debbie) Oscar Peterson Night Child on Pablo is fantastic. Brubeck A La Mode and Time Out, Athena's Symphonic Dances, Sufjan Steven Il... |
