| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? And how long 'til this thread gets closed :-) | |
| Has anybody Cryo'd their complete amp-results? When Ted Williams bats for .400 again, that's when I would consider cryoing my amp :-) | |
| What's Your Experience with Digital Switching Amp? I really enjoyed my Spectron 1, driving a pair of Maggie 1.6's...plenty of power to bring out the bass [the 1.6's need oodles of power]. Drove everything with a tube preamp. | |
| alternative to speaker stand spikes? I am using Aurios [set of FOUR, for stability] under my speakers. | |
| Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill Acoustic Anv. Chadnliz, c'mon...let us know what you really think :-) I'm not sure about her live performances, as I've never seen her...but your post did give me a chuckle!That being said, I really do think that "Jagged Little Pill" was an audio triumph for th... | |
| Boston Acoustics and Snell bought by D&M Holdings I love to support the fewer and fewer remaining independents. The high end audio industry is becoming a corporate mega-monster! The good news is that designers and engineers producing exceptional gear, yet not having a good business sense, can hav... | |
| Any Warp correction LP services available ? G_m_c, I have heard of the same trick, as well! The record is placed between two sheets of glass in the oven, for an hour or two. I would put some weights on each of the four corners. REMEMBER THAT CUT GLASS WILL HAVE SHARP EDGES, SO HANDLE THE SH... | |
| Has anyone cryo'd a tonearm,or phono cartridge? To further comment on Justin_time's post, don't forget about the "coefficient of expansion" differences between dissimilar materials, which is the operating principle behind your home's thermostat. This is a switching device that works by using a ... | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? Please explain the ventian blind effect? | |
| Tube amp to match sensitive Living Voice Speakers I have always like the sound of Art Audio products. | |
| Linn LP12 Setup Manual and more. WOW! Thanks for the link! I used to own an older [1985] LP-12, with an Ittok arm. The complete history of models and upgrades is here as well. Very interesting stuff......even for non-Linn owners. | |
| Tubes and heat... Jafox, basements are actually pretty well insulated by the surrounding earth; maybe that's why you're listening area heats up so quickly.Forget about Tucson! You wouldn't recognize it now. It's now filled with W.M.D.'s...Wanton Mass Developments! ... | |
| The most placement forgiving planar speaker? I found that my Maggie 1.6's were pretty easy to place. Just need about 2 feet or greater from the back and side walls, if I recall. And as has been previously stated, I wouldn't try to stuff them in a small room. | |
| See it frequently: What exactly is a "troll"? But it's still a fact that transistors will never sound as good as tubes...any "fish" going to bite :-) | |
| Tubes and heat... I live in Tucson, AZ, so I know what you mean about heat! I'm using monoblock Atma-sphere M-60 Mk 2.2's, with 16- 6AS7 triodes running in class A bias! And I also listen nearfield, which means that the amps are about 10 feet away from me.Daytimes,... |
