| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? I've only been in this hobby for about 4 years but in reading Jmcgrogan2's earlier thread today on "Am I Wrong To Be Satisfied", I tend to believe he knows the answer about cable priority. He's been in the hobby for 30 years and has built the "ult... | |
| Jazz guys: Bebop, Hard Bop etc. Qdrone; I'm not a fan of the vibes although I have several discs where they are played (Milt Jackson among others). Bianci27, yes, I already have some Cannonball and Dexter Gordon. Rhljazz, I never listened to Grant Green, or Nat Adderly, but love... | |
| What Silenced the Ground Loop? Grant, no time for testing the cables today. I barely had a chance to do any listening. I will test them soon. As always, thanks for the suggestions. I will post my findings. | |
| Jazz guys: Bebop, Hard Bop etc. Gdoodle: I happen to be listening to Mingus as I type this, and I have almost all of John Scofield's discography in my collection. He happens to be my favorite guitarist. I did not post all the jazz I enjoy listening to. I don't have any Ornette C... | |
| What Silenced the Ground Loop? No I did not have hum with the DK except when I had it connected to a particular AC regenerator I had previously. By the way, there is no problem having the rcas and xlr's connected at the same time. Each has there own sonic signature. And the xlr... | |
| Jena labs better or worse? I only tried one of their preamp jumpers- very good quality. Give Jena Labs a try. Jennifer and her husband are really nice people that do great work-they also have a great sense of humor too. They will likely accomodate you if you want to try som... | |
| What Silenced the Ground Loop? Tvad: Yes, I did have the ground loop (or whatever it is)prior to connecting my Raysonic with XLR's. Using the AZ RCA's with both of my cdps I have had the hum. In fact, I've had 3 different cdps connected up with rcas' and have had hum with all 3... | |
| What Silenced the Ground Loop? Thanks for the feedback.(no pun intended):)Newbee: its not the tubes in the center position of the Raysonic since I had this hum before I got the Raysonic. Tvad: the sihgled ended IC's I use on my sources are Acoustic Zen Matrix Ref II's and are d... | |

| Luciano Pavarotti dead at 71 Yes, James was eventually laid to rest after a bizarre length of time. | |
| Luciano Pavarotti dead at 71 For our generation, he has to be the best tenor imho. Rest in peace. Surprisingly, he did a duet not too long ago with the late great James Brown, "It's A Man's Man's Man's World." One of the best versions of this song James ever did, and with a f... | |
| are any of your friends audiophiles? None. Everyone I know is so far away from this hobby they would think I'm insane and or irresponsible to spend the thousands I've spent. My best friend has a fraction of an idea of what I've spent. He says I'm addicted and will never stop. | |
| Max Roach - You Will Be Missed I was saddened to learn of this legend's departure. He was one of the greats. | |
| Jolida JD700 vs Jolida JD100A Although I have not heard the JD700A I'll chime in and say that the JD100 is a very solid performer. I have a modified JD100. Although I have other players, I've had it longer than any other piece in my system. Every time I think of selling it, I ... | |
| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? Toteman, I was just about to post on the Blue Circle BMPH when I read your post. Yes, it is fast, refined, crystal clear and ultimately has the ability to open a window to the recording. I like mine very much. It's high end. Frankly, any and I mea... |
