| Beatles albums on MFSL CD's Thanks, Audiobugged! Actually, I was audio BUGGED yesterday, as I knew that those letters looked familiar! I have a few of the Toshiba/Emi Japanese CD's. | |
| Beatles albums on MFSL CD's Thanks, Audiobugged for the education that you have just given to me. Forgive my ignorance, buy what do you mean by "TOCP"? The caffine from my java hasn't kicked in yet! | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? Souljasmooth, great post! So someone else is familiar with the Peak Incognitos! I got a pair after hearing them at the 2003 CES. One of the top 4 sounding rooms at both shows, I.M.H.O. I'm running mine with Atma-sphere gear...their impedance is a ... | |
| Details, details. Cornfedboy, good to hear from you again! To explain, CD's and SACD's are little silver 5" discs that allow you to remain seated in your listening chair for 40 to 70 minutes of uninterrupted music instead of jumping up every 15 to 20 to replace you... | |
| Details, details. I am very happy with the transparency, analog smoothness, and overall presentation of the Accuphase DP-75V (upsampling) CD player, which can also be used as a DAC. A noticeable improvement over the earlier DP-75 (non-upsampling). Alas, the 75V is ... | |
| Cables - When Did it All Start? I remember buying a pair of "Cobra Cable" speaker wires back in 1976. (I'm not sure if this was the actual name of the cables.) They were multi-stranded thin gauge lacquer insulated wires (green and orange to represent "+" and "-") woven in a 90 d... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Weiserb, sorry to disagree, but the MFSL gold CD of "Madman Across the Water" SUCKS! If you hear this album on a DCC vinyl pressing, you just will not believe the difference in fidelity! This is not a vinyl vs. digital or bad master tape issue. I ... | |
| Does your system reflect your personality? Pbb, I think that I used to go out with your system! | |
| AC Filter necessary? What are you using for power cords now? What is the current draw of the AMP(s) at max. output [should be given in the spec sheet]? | |
| What brand of vinyl sounds best for Bob Marley? Look for the Hemp, Ganja, or Cannabis label! | |
| Tube glows cherry red...then it doesn't ? 1) Tube not plugged in firmly 2) Tube pins dirty 3) Tube socket holes are too large for smaller NOS tube pins 4) Bad pin soldier joint (usually on Russian tubes) 5) Tube is ready to s**t the bed. 6) Momentary household voltage change caused the gr... | |
| Silver interconnects & copper speaker cable O.K. ? This is OK, only if you don't play your equipment underwater! Then you will have an electrolysis problem between the copper and silver! | |
| What LP shows what analog can do? Frankie Goes to Hollywood. The 12" 45 RPM single of "Relax", Japanese pressing. Tough to find, but my favorite demo vinyl. The "B" side (2 songs) also has a great cover of "Ferry across the Mersey"! Also, Elton John's "Madman Across The Water" on ... | |
| Feel vs. Think - take an objective look... I think, therefore I feel; I feel, therefore I don't think! I believe that it was John Boorman who was quoted back in the '70's as stating, "[people] try to sell the sizzle rather than the steak. Advertisers, as well as politicians, sell perceptio... | |
| Electrical Question Forget about surge protectors if lightening strikes between the pole line transformer and the wiring to your house! David Blair (Custom Power Cord) told me of a revealing experience. He had a piece of gear plugged into the power outlet, but the in... |
