| Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime? My house was in a power outage that affected 200,000 homes in Ohio (thanks to the remnants of Hurricane Ike). For a whole week my house was without electricity. (no computer, no fridge, no lights, no nothing) It was one of the truly bad experience... | |
| Suggestions for "balanced" interconnects? High value for the price you can try Mogami 2534 balanced. | |
| My speakers don't "dissapear" 40 hours on a new pair of high end speakers? This is not the time to make judgements about what your system will or will not do, period. All this conjecture means very little in my opinion. All your gear and cables need to continue to settle in, a... | |
| Confessions I don't play Yes around my family or friends because they would look at me like I'm crazy. Only a few people I've known have ever understood the genius of the seminal recording "Yessongs." | |
| Definitive Technology - ST and STS I have yet to hear the Mythos ST or STS. And, Definitive Technology gets very little attention in these forums unless it's negative attention. Based on a little chatter going on out there, I think there are a few audiophiles pondering a similar qu... | |
| best speaker cables in the 2k to 3k range ? Don't overlook a home audition of Reality cables. You can find out if you like them, and if not return them. | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Dazone, I agree, Amy Winehouse has a voice that is on of the best in the world, but her drug and alcohol problems, anti-social behavior, and unhealthy anorexic appearance, are taking away from her supreme vocal talent. She may well end up dead soo... | |
| Musical Int. Amp that has exstended natural treble Try Blue Circle. Their solid state gear has a natural and clear high end with excellent midrange. | |
| AC power cords and martin Logans PC's usually but not always make a difference. Will it be a good, bad, or no difference? I'd contact Martin Logan or a Martin Logan dealer. | |
| Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord Paul, thanks. Liudas (Louis) emailed me about it months ago and said it would retail for around $3,000. AC conditioners (filters) as Liudas calls them, are such a hit and miss proposition in every system. No guarantees with any of them. It's too m... | |
| New miles davis cd.... wow I have it as part of the Miles and Coltrane Complete Columbia Recordings box set and it sounds great. I also have one cut from it on an SACD sampler and it sounds great. Seems to me you got one of the poor reissues. | |
| Power cond from Furman & PS Audio which one? I owned the Premier and the 9200 but not at the same time. In my experience, and most folks as well, you will not be able to plug your integrated into the Premier without affecting the dynamics, and rolling off the upper midrange and highs. I'd go... | |
| Audio aero capitol reference cd - upgrade Don't spend money upgrading (modifying)the Capitol. If it doesn't work well for you now as is, maybe it's not the player for your system. Tube rolling should be enough. Sounds like it's not a good match with your other gear. The funds you invest i... | |
| Isaac Hayes Martyk1, I agree, the cd I have of "Shaft" is a tour de force recording of great quality and could really make an excellent demo for anyone's system. | |
| PrimaLuna Prologue 8 CD Player Sound Jimbobtex, go figure, the Prologue 8 review in TAS is in stark contrast to the review in Stereophile. Stereophile is quite negative about the player |
