| Who Makes It Anyhow? Two smaller companies that I love to deal with are Atma-sphere and Custon Power Cord Co [Luxor]. Both companies are independently owned, do their own research, design, and assembly and have the belief that their products are a PERSONAL reflection ... | |
| Any Comments on Nordost Speakers Cables?? From what I have heard, the Red Dawn II is very close to the performance of the more expensive SPM. I agree that for my application, Nordost gave more zip (or quickness) to a so called "mellow system" [BBC monitors driven by tube gear]! | |
| comparison of 508.24 VS.accuphase65,75,and emc-II Unfortunately, I don't think that CD's (redbook) are a good medium for the reproduction of classical music! I'm using an Accuphase DP-75 (not the newer DP-75V with upsampling). CD's have an almost analog-like quality for most music. Unfortunately,... | |
| Help: Where can I buy these gold or xrcds? Try watching eBay. Use their "favorite search" feature so that you can get an automatic e-mail when new items are listed. | |
| How much money do you want to waste? First, KEEP ON POSTIN'! What's repetitive to some "old timers" on Audiogon is new to others! Second, I use the analogy of building an audio system to that of building a race car/ street rod. The parts should match the level of performance expected... | |
| What IS that tune?????? "my word's but a whisper; your deafness a SHOUT!" | |
| What IS that tune?????? Jeez, funny you mention it...I just saw a car commercial that I think was for Toyota. I don't recall much about the visuals, but they had edited Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick" so that it was just the instumental bridge. I think this is what you'... | |
| What connection is better Balanced or single ended Like June Cleaver once said,"Ward, you were a little rough on the Beaver last night!" I've seen you post many, MANY intelligent responses to the forums, so you obviously know your way around audio gear and Audiogon. However, there are many new use... | |
| at home has unplugged its network Sorry to hear of your problems, Cornfedboy! Get a really, REALLY long ball of string, connect it to two paper cups, and then you can splice in a shorter piece of string for your modem! Actually, use a heavier piece of twine to connect to your mode... | |
| My system has just received the ultimate insult Women are generally more sensitve to high frequencies acording to some scientific/anthropological studies. Women tend to notice the digital glare of many CD players more then men. Maybe this is a good excuse to try an analog turntable rig!!! Also,... | |
| GEORGE HARRISON Thank you, George, for all the music and helping us to view the world with a fresh new perspective. | |
| DC Power/AC Inverter power supply Please note, I don't intend to use this set-up for amplifiers! Also, I won't be connected to a battery charger during listening sessions. | |
| Speakers for the party system Do you live near a city where you can rent smaller concert PA speakers? Since you won't have to live with 'em audiophile detailing is not an issue and you can crank them really loud. Most people in a party atmosphere will NOT be doing critical lis... | |
| how to upgrade this digital front end ? I had my mind elsewhere when I wrote about the DP-75v. I still love the performace/price ratio of the DP-75 (earlier version). B.T.W. have you had the oppurtunity to A/B the 75 with the 75v? What did you think? | |
| how to upgrade this digital front end ? I agree with Cornfedboy. I'm using an Accuphase DP75 and I love its musical almost analog sound! The DP 75v is the latest version which also plays SACD's and has an even better decoder section. However, if you have your doubts about the future of ... |
