| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? Rollintubes-exactly. Although I do have some newer 78s, the HRS reissues exceptional vocal 78s on virgin vinyl from the original metal parts. Those are tick and pop free surfaced 78s. The rest of my 7,000 78s date from 1898 to early 1950s and a... | |
| Is it possible to have vinyl nearly noise free? I have 25,000 LPs and 7,000 78s. I tolerate record noise to some extent. I hated LP ticks and pops back in the 70s and 80s, prior to having near SOTA equipment. Since the 90s, I've experienced mostly quiet LPs and those with minor, non-continuo... | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** One of the worst NOS brands is GE. They were always mediocre. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I put two on the power sub-panel and one on the mains power panel. That was a really winner in my system. The others include 3 under the pre-amp/phono pre-amp, 2 under the CD player and 2 above, 2 below the Bryston BIT 20 isolation transformer s... | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** You are correct. That's why I purchase industrial versions of Amperex 6DJ8s and RCA 12AU7 clear-tops. Telefunkens were generally used in home audio and notorious for being faked and well used despite good test scores. It is a problem but I have... | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** I'm laughing at the poster who stated that after a few hundred hours, NOS tubes lose their bass. I have small signal tubes which have lasted over 6,000 hours in conservatively rated gear (versus ARC equipment which especially kills power tubes-I ... | |
| Synergistic Research Black Box - I tried the BB for three months (mostly in the box). I use 32 SR HFTs and tried the BB with and without the Atmosphere XL4. The BB made the sound more warm in the low end; but; unfortunately, it cut off the highs at about 8Khz. The highs just vani... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Tom Port of Better Records told me when he was seriously listening to music, he would unplug all household equipment except the frig. I believe he was correct that he gained better sound by doing so. But I wouldn't do that, I'd rather install th... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Frank, I noticed that the ad for the Gate is only for 100 or 200 amp main power panels. My new home has a 400 amp main power panel. Would I need two Gates or only achieve a smaller percentage gain using one Gate (like 25% or 50% of a smaller mai... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll Obviously, you are not a musician and haven't been to Los Angeles area concerts. I've been performing new classical and semi-classical music all my life. Although they are generally not well known as the "classics", they are up there as equally ... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll schubert- you are 80+ years old stupid! I would rather die than give up music, even for one day. Music has filled my life since I was 3, Last week I performed for 350 people at the AJU university and tonight I was the videographer of a performa... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll Thank you bdp24 for the availability of current Country/Americana that I would enjoy listening to. There are some old performers locally in Ventura County that my friend Robert hears all the time. I like the mix of blues with country. I like rock ... | |
| Amplifier current vrs watts; why is current more important? I have the so called "easy to drive" Legacy Focus speakers because of their high 98 db efficiency. But their low impedance (subsequent 20/20s were more difficult to drive) and 4 ohm preference make them difficult to drive. Maybe it's their 3 12"... | |
| Death of Rock 'n' Roll After the 60's-80's generation of rock and roll dies, there is no new rock n'roll. For me, rock n'roll (new music/musicians) died in 1995 when producers began the loudness wars (compression, etc). in recordings. No imagination or new music (well... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I suggest that the Omega E-Mats and my other power filtering considerations such as my Bryston BIT 20 isolation transformer work mostly on the last mile type of power pollution, those emanating from the equipment themselves. I'm hoping that the G... |
