Not too pricey e... | |

| just auditioned tannoy yorkminster Piano and bowed violin and viola are the toughest instruments for a redbook CD player to get right. Sometimes these instruments will sound harsh, grainy, or brittle.Your Wadia may have a DAC that gives better performance than the BAT for these ins... | |
| Sweet Neo-Con Lugnut, you state:The Stones rate right up there with Harry Belefonte for not knowing how to reason.I'm not sure what you're refering to concerning Harry Belefonte. Could you explain? Thanks. | |
| Can you have too many tubes? Albertporter, unless I am mistaken, your link is only a PARTIAL picture of the ENIAC computer completed in the autumn of 1945, and used by the Aberdeen Proving Grounds to compute ballistic trajectory tables. By today's standards for electronic com... | |
| Sweet Neo-Con Mick's so old, that if he "Can't Get No Satisfaction"...he should try Viagra! | |
| Can you have too many tubes? Essentialaudio, Hey Ralph, how many tubes in a pair of MA-3s?Too many for any sane person :-) But an audiophile's dream...they're "Iowa Class" battleship amps, fer sure!Check 'em out Iowa Class Amps | |
| Can you have too many tubes? Albertporter, my comment about the 33 Mullards was in no way meant as any kind of criticism. I was impressed with someone who would spend the time effort, and MONEY to go with the best...33 times, no less.Enjoy...as I'm sure that you will! | |

| Can you have too many tubes? Albertporter, where did you get your system...Circuit City :-) Seriously, that must be audio heaven on earth! I heard those Dalis at the CES...I would put them in the coveted "state of the art" category...with tubes. I was mesmerized. Heard them t... | |
| Acoustic Zen vs. Nordost Steve01s4, I'm confused by your post...Was it the AZ Absolute or the Nordost Valhallas that added the "edge to the vocals"? Why did you prefer the Indiras over the Valhallas, in the systems that you auditioned? [Your stereo set-up is quite impress... | |
| 845 SET recommendation Judy426, could you translate for me? Your post looks like the Dow Jones ticker wire :-) I'm kind of clueless when it comes to some internet abbreviations! | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? Audiodir, are you sure of the reversed polarity in Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound"? I was told that the effect was done by cramming everyone into a way too small studio. The instruments and vocals were not isolated to the individual mics, but bled ... |
