| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? I know the Talisman has a 1000% mark-up but it is worth the $200 I paid for it. It is more consistent (100%) than my AudioDesk CD lathe/trimmer which I bought used for $200 as well. I stopped using it because I don't know that it is 100% safe to... | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? geoffkait I meant that the Walker Talisman which is a demagnitizer is easier to use than a bulk tape demagnitizer that millercarbon suggested. You know that I know the difference but didn't spell it our precisely. | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? Millercarbon I know this is more expensive, but the Walker Talisman for CDs and LPs is much easier and faster to use than a demagnitizer. $200 but saves so much time and effort. Time is both money and there's too little of it. | |
| Amp - preamp or integrated There are now some excellent quality integrated units. One that I liked almost as much as the separate was the VAC Sigma170i . Yes, that's an expensive unit but it is high quality throughout with optional phono. I have the room and cabling for ... | |
| The Science of Cables millercarbon I did the same thing for my video (non-hi fi) system. I used a Yamaha CR620 receiver and a pair of ADS L620 speakers at a cost of $250, added my friend GroverHuffman.com much older technology ICs and speaker wire from 10 years ago (... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. There are 3 models of Kassandra DACs, between about $25k and $90K. Which one did you choose? | |
| How important is it for you to attain a holographic image? I was too lazy and my 185 lb Legacy Focus speakers are too heavy to easily move to the optimal position. So, I tried three positions and left them at 4’ from side walls, 9’ center to center and 5’ from rear wall. I sit 13’ feet from the front of t... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat Okay elizabeth, I’ll tell that Tim gives discounts on purchases of 18 E-Mats. You should try some on consignment. First on your power panels. Also, if you watch TV, see the difference. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl A Benz Ruby 3. Yes, Geoffkait, I don't believe my audio system is the best; however, it is among the most enjoyable. My resolution, imaging and ambiance retrieval are not as good as many inferior systems but when taken as a whole, it is better t... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I've had audiophiles over who have $850,000 and $1,000,000 systems and the former one's system stunk even though the owner only felt that it was a little bright (I would have quit listening to music is was sooo hard, bright and forward). His jaw ... | |
| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. When I used the EAR 324, it had a reverse polarity button that did improve LPs that were clearly reversed. Stillness, second pressing by Brasil 66 greatly improved with the button pressed in. First pressing was correct and fuller sounding even a... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat You don't believe people with 1 to 8 million records isn't a hoarder? Compared to me, they were/are hoarders. Tom Chandler had all of his records available for sale. Music Man Murray liked to ask what you would pay for it, then not sell it. W... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Yes, I meant the vertical soundfield. My mistake. As to depth, wow, I've got as much depth as intended by the recording engineer. CDs can sound awesome. | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat That should have read, Tom Null does not listen to his recordings, just continues to collect them. He prefers unique and obscure recordings for his collection. They are not in his home so his home isn't like a hoarders, Neither was Tom Chandler ... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I was just listening to Ramsey Lewis Trio "In Chicago" on CD and the bass on the left channel is constantly moving up and down horizontally, just like the LP, both mono and stereo versions. Also, the 3D soundfield of orchestral recordings sound j... |
