| Quality of Demo LPs I have heard that DJ white promo labels are the first pressings off of the stampers, and therefore should sound better. Unfortunately, radio stations usually "kicked the crap" out of vinyl (especially by "back-queuing") so it's hit or miss as to t... | |
| corrosion A room or whole house de-humidifier! Or a window A/C unit for you listening room. As an added advantage, you will also be much more comfortable while listening to your rig, using either solution! | |
| Best Rock Video - Sound Quality and Content Just saw the Talking Heads, STOP MAKING SENSE. This movie was produced by Jonathan Demme...OUTSTANDING in all respects. A true classic! I have it on laser disc (Japanese pressing), so I can't vouch for the video or audio quality on the DVD version. | |
| Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ??? Yeah, Slappy! Sometimes, the "warning and disclaimer" pages are more detailed than the actual instruction manual! | |
| Whatever happened to REAL "owners manuals" ??? Have you seen the manuals for Mid-fi AV receivers? Remember, most of the people buying this equipment are not audio gurus, and the instruction manuals read like an advanced calculus math book! I helped my brother set up his home theater, and I was... | |
| New to SACD--so what do I buy? I think that the master tapes of "Machine Head" and "Agents of Fortune" don't have the best fidelity for revealing the potential of the SACD format. | |
| Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit... Wellfed, thanks for switching #4 and #5 around! Originally, Cardinals ABOVE music lover...either you're a masochist, or you wear your "Bose" T-shirt with pride! | |
| How do you get to listen to high end speakers? Nm512, Jerry from Straightwire is a very wise (and accommodating!) man, indeed! I really admire a businessman who treats a new potential customer as a future loyal client, whether or not this actually occurs. This type of "marketing campaign" cost... | |
| Tice power conditioner Customer relations? He dealt with my particular problem in a TOTALLY unprofessional manner! It worked out OK, though. I discovered the Custom Power Cord line of products. Their power conditioners BLEW AWAY the Tice conditioners, and for less money... | |
| Soundlab A-3 summer biasing ? You might also consider a de-humidifier...or a Pina Colada!!! | |
| Eichmann bullet plugs on Valhalla interconnects Steve, I NEVER said that the cable was "mismatched along the spool"!!! Read my post again! Apparently, you don't understand the concept of tolerances that apply to ANY manufacturing process. Anything that is outside of tolerance specs IS DISCARDED... | |
| Eichmann bullet plugs on Valhalla interconnects No they do not. Nordost told me that the will cut a section of Valhalla (say 4 meters) and then cut that section in half, and terminate the ends to make a 2 meter pair. In this manner, your cable pair is ALWAYS matched from the same location in th... | |
| Accuphase DP75V Is this the way to go ? I bought a DP-75V about 2 years ago. I am impressed with the fluid, almost analog like sound! The micro dynamics of this player are unbelievable, especially on the decay! The music just seems to trail off into infinity! Construction, design and re... | |
| Experience with Electro Harmonix 12au7 gold pins? How many tubes do you need to match? | |
| Eichmann bullet plugs on Valhalla interconnects No, no, NO !!! Whether it will sound slightly better or not, you will destroy the resale value of these cables! Figure 30% to 50% LESS then the price that you should receive on the used market. In this case, LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE !!! |
