| Amp shootout.....Tenor 75wi verses Berning ZH270 Great post, Mikelavigne!! It's great to know that the Berning (an amp which I'm not familiar with) could hold it's own with a "killer" like the Tenor! I wonder if anyone out there has done a shootout between or just A/B'd the Tenors and the Lamm M... | |
| Mark Levinson in Lexus? Yeah, Stereophile did an article on this a few months back. | |
| Best way to compare amps? An interesting observation that I've noticed when A/B 'ing ALL TYPES of audio gear. (Seantaylor99 alluded to this fact!) Sometimes, It's tough to notice an improvement in audio quality. But when going back to a lesser sounding piece of gear, the d... | |
| Contact Cleaner Here's another kicker. I live in the desert southwest where humidity is almost non-existant. Does this reduce the oxidation rate? | |
| Best TV for approx. 300? 25"-"27 Who knows how well the TV's are aligned/adjusted in the showroom! Since this is a TV that you can transport, bring it to a shop that you trust, and spend a few extra bucks ($50?) to have it properly calibrated. Picture should look even better! | |
| Best connection, BNC, Balanced, toslink, ATT Rule outToslink!!! And I think that ATT glass also falls behind the other non-optical choices, but if I'm wrong about ATT, better minds will surely let us know! The biggest problem is that very few DACs/sources have provisions for all types. Happy... | |
| Best binding posts for speakers and amplifiers. Cardis 5 way all copper binding posts seem to be used by many hi-end amp manufacturers. Can't go wrong with these! Happy Tunes! | |
| Is the SPM/Quatro fil still a good choice I had used this combo, SPM/Quattro-fil and was quite happy with this set-up. It was very good, until I finally swallowed deeply and ponied up the money for the Valhalla speaker cable. The improvement was well worth the money! Of course, I was luck... | |
| AC-3 output and outboard DAC I know that MSB used to make boards that could be installed to allow digital output. | |
| The"new" look Capitole Hopefully, with an increase of the list price to almost $9,000-(US), which is about a 33% raise, the remote control unit will look nicer than if it came from a $99- Samsung! Happy Tunes! | |
| Contact Cleaner Thanks for the info about TCE. Believe me, I've dealt with all kinds of hazardous organic & inorganic chemicals over the years. Psychicanimal, think I'll wait for a Carbon Tet. fizz! | |
| Digital Dilemma I had the opposite problem once...the digital output of my CD player (Audio Refinement) was RCA and the digital input of my outboard DAC (Assemblage 2.5) that I chose to use was BNC in. It came with a high quality handy-dandy adapter. Hey, if a hi... | |
| Hobby or Lifestyle? If the government takes such a sum of money from us each year, can you just imagine the absolute killer sound systems that our "Uncle Sammy" must be able to afford? Everyone down to the Washington Mall for an audio shoot out! Happy Tunes! | |
| Anyone "heard" these Wilson & Levinson Products? And how about this handy dandy item from Krell?http://www.moonaudio.com/fpblower.jpg |
