| Are you bored to tears with the topics lately? The limo's springs won't take his weight! | |
| Frequency Charts In what cases would you chose Pink noise or White noise for testing?Rives, help me out. What note is 440 Hz? I thought that was middle "C"? (As you can tell, I don't play a musical instrument!) | |
| "Analog" = bloated, rolled off, soft and mushy? Robm321, how do you fit those ducks in your CD player :-)The tubes are MULLARD not Mallard (a duck). Also, be careful of people selling "mil-spec" Mullards in the white boxes circa 1980's (tubes are not branded Mullard, but will have a month and y... | |
| How Good Can Digital Get? Newbee, you've got to change your moniker! A most insightful post, indeed!Yes, vinyl has a magical quality that redbook CD's cannot match. As you pointed out, analog does have many warts. Most nights, I just want to plop down, and listen for 40 to... | |
| Springsteen reissued? Hhmmm I don't think he had any time for remastering...he was much too busy kissing John Kerry's arse :-) | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? Slappy, I've heard tell that you're a few cans short of a 6 pack :-) | |
| Living Stereo SACD Releases Eldartford, a very insightful response to my post. Your facts are correct, but I must ad clarifications. We must assume that a good copy of the master tape exists at 30 i.p.s., and has not physically broken down over the years. A 7-1/2 i.p.s. copy... | |
| Poor student with a SL-1700MK2, which needle? Since you are a college student, here's my advice. If you can go slightly higher ($130- at the needle doctor), I would recommend the Stanton 681EEE Mk.III. The original Stanton 681 EEE was the standard at radio stations in the 1970's, and should m... | |
| "The Law of Diminishing Returns"??? The law of doubling!My own personal belief is that when one wants to upgrade a component, if the new list price is DOUBLE that of the existing piece, there will be a noticeable sonic improvement.Now for the caveats! Synergy is the most important f... | |
| Living Stereo SACD Releases Yeah, Eldartford, but the magic of tubes used throughout the entire recording chain, classic vintage microphones, and a simple 2 or 3 channel mix creates an experience just not found on today's recordings.Although I have not taken the plunge into ... | |
| Ideal Manufacturers for your local hi-fi shop...? If it is a project for a business class, the brands that you sell will have less to do with audio quality and sonic signature, but more to do with the ugly side of audio, the business model!Manufacturers' reputation, QC, support, territorial prote... | |
| Have anyone seen these speakers? Or system? Do not, I repeat...DO NOT drop acid while listening to these monsters! | |
| ARS Tubes Justlisten, I seem to remember that they acquired the rights to the Amperex name and logo a few years ago. I believe that these new "Amperex" tubes are rebranded modern tubes, and should NOT be confused with the good old NOS originals. | |
| ARS Tubes Amperex Bugle Boys? | |
| Breaking in power cords Psychicanimal, I still love ya (platonically speaking, of course!) Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE! At least you have a "fan club". Anyone who would use and email such ethnic slurs has a major brain malfunction. Interesting as well that a person from Mexi... |
