| 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. | |
| Your favourite music movie? Some of my favorite jazz infused soundtracks include The Sweet Smell of Success and the Man with the Golden Arm. The most memorable opening soundtrack is for The Killers (dum de dum dum). | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work Maybe the high speed and narrower laser beam is at the heart of why a cheap Sony Blu-ray player sounds so great compared to 80's and 90's CD players. I had huge and very heavy Sony CD players that sound thin compared to a one pound Blu-ray player... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Unfortunately, Singin in the Rain was written for a The Hollywood Music Box Revue and recorded several times prior to the movie where Cliff Edwards made it super famous (so not written for a soundtrack/movie). The Pinocchio song was a film origina... | |
| Your favourite music movie? I absolutely agree with Cabin in the Sky and Wizard of Oz. I do like many Morricone film scores as well. The music of Braveheart just don't seem as memorable but is a good film scores as well. Eraserhead and Good Night and Good Luck used alread... | |
| Your favourite music movie? Alexander Nevsky is one of the best, absolutely entrancing without the film at all, provides complete accompaniment to the story. West Side Story doesn’t count as it began as a broadway musical, just like Porgy and Bess, another fantastic score bu... | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work I just moved and set-up one of my video rooms. Yes, the IC to the receiver was high end as is the speaker wire (left overs from prior audio systems). Using an HDMI cable from an $85 blu-ray player, my CDs sound fantastic (in terms of tonality, dyn... | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work That is why a few CD manufacturers have created clamping/isolation devices for the CD wherein the vibrations from an out of round CD are greatly or completely diminished. Even my EAR Acute has a flimsy CD tray and internal puck to hold it while i... | |
| Most useful tweaks that are sensible and really make a noticeable improvement I have two pairs of two way box speakers (ADS 620) for my video setups. I don't know if the Mnpctech pads would have the same sonic benefit that my use of original Stillpoints have in isolating and removing speaker vibration have. Anyone know? |
