| Again the topic of weight of amps @larrykell I said that I couldn't physically handle a 185 lb. amp. My current listening room floor can handle a 7.5+ earthquake let alone a few hundred pounds of equipment.My 1993 constructed prior home had a similar custom 6" slab with 2' exter... | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: My comments concerning Masterbuilt cables were historical. Masterbuilt adapted cables specifically for audio use from the military to my knowledge as opposed to just sell military cables. | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps I can barely move my 95 lb. Bryston BIT-20 isolation transformer. I have to rock into place my Legacy Focus speakers at 185 lbs. when I moved. I can't imagine owning a 175 lb amp although my floor is 12" 3000 psi reinforced slab which could hand... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid Virgin vinyl is the primary reason Japanese LPs are so quiet. I do not own more than a few MFSL pressings. Originals often sound superior despite their higher record noise. I'll take a V.S.O.P. reissue any day over an MFSL from the 80s. | |
| A little History lesson on, "High- End" cables: Jimski - I am a beta tester for almost 20 years for GroverHuffman.com cables. He uses an air dielectric (patented) with flattened ribbon conductors. The shielding is immense with a combo of copper braid dipped into a solidified solution made of ... | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps I bought an EAR 890 amp in 2006 and used it with an EAR 864 for a two years. It sounded forward and bright on my Legacy Focus speakers. With a custom high end pre-amp the 890 was rather thin sounding. I replaced the pre-amp as well. I moved th... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid I have several MSFLs that are similar to many of my Japanese LPs where they look black/dark but when held up to a light, are almost transparent with an amber coloration. | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I just listened to Blues in Orbit last week. I have 3 Omega E-Mats on 2 breaker boxes and no Gate. I also experienced really wonderful 3-D soundstage with this ordinary CD. Great sound, great performances. | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I have 8 unused outlets in my dedicated listening room. 5 are among the 8 outlets controlled by the separate sub-panel audio wiring and the other 3 are just house panel power outlets for lighting. The rest of the house has about 80 outlets of whic... | |
| Best Record Cleaning Fluid I have used the VPI 16.5 for 37 years now. Back in the 90s I used Torumat fluid with very good results, from Brooks Berdan, where I purchased my analog front end and cleaning machine. Then an acquaintance Brian made a formula which included dri... | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? My electronics/cabling manufacturing friend got a COS Engineering $3,000 DAC that blows away my EAR Acute which is twice the price. It took about 13 years since I purchased my CD player for me to hear the improvement in a DAC since most under $5... | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? itsjustme I agree. What bothers me is that my London/Decca opera LPs sound so much cleaner/less distorted than the comparable CDs, most of them digitized in the 1990s (just compare the choral parts of Turandot/Mehta-the CD is distorted). I don't... | |
| What Sonically is the Difference between a $1,500 CD Player and a $10K-$25K One? glupson - Correct that CDs don't fail very often, the laser is usually at fault. 1 or 2 out of 7,000 CDs made since 1984 have failed me. I make it a point to clean the laser every year (1,000 hours) or sooner. It makes a difference with 80+ m... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Hard Days Night and SNF-great choices for original movie music | |
| Your favourite music movie? Wow, someone mentioned my late friend and composer Aminadav Aloni for Once soundtrack he composed in 1973. He was a leader among composers of Jewish choral music in the second half of the 20th century. This was an unusual film experience for him. |
