| Nice Warm AC cord for a PLC Mapleleaf, we seem to share a similar perspective on cables. Somewhere there has to be a point of diminishing returns, though I don't claim to have pushed the envelope enough to know its boundaries. I have explored enough to know that cables can m... | |
| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? Grungle, I add pages as they're needed and occassionally go through and shuffle disks to back fill when there are too many empty sleeves. That or go shopping for more discs! | |
| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? Just a note to say that the plain jewel cases are replaceable. Most computer super stores (Fry's, CompUSA, etc.) have them on hand. The inserts like liner notes and "covers", as well as the paperboard cases some releases come in, are irreplaceable... | |
| 'L' Shaped Listening Rooms. What works? Here's another vote for CARA. I moved into an L-shaped room a little over a month ago and this software let me play with more options than several months of moving furniture around would have. Model the room well and the output is surprisingly acc... | |
| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? Didn't have room for hundreds of jewel cases, the patience for unsuccessfully keeping them organized and the frustration of seemingly never being able to find a desired disc. Eventually put all the CDs in quality binders and threw the jewel cases ... | |
| HUM dilemma Can anyone solve This one? The ground for the cable TV entry at my place was attached to my neighbor's electrical system. Moving it to my side of the feed removed most of the hum and lowered the noise floor considerably. Using a cable ground lifter helped, too. Completely r... | |
| HUM dilemma Can anyone solve This one? Now you've located the source of the problem. I would now encourage you to fix the root of the problem if possible. It sounds like you've lifted *all* the grounds in the system and that is NOT a good idea. | |
| Best CD of Diana Krall?? Dekay, I'd offer her lessons on both if I thought she'd accept them... | |
| I need help with hum Line conditioners don't usually fix ground loops. At least that's my understanding.In my system (and this is explained in detail in a recent post called "Ground Loop - New Twist?") the problem was that the cable installer had my cable entry ground... | |
| I need help with hum Do a search on Audiogon for "ground loop" and "hum". Tons of material. Good luck. | |
| Best CD of Diana Krall?? Artemus, I've noted the "hot mike". It sounds like they were going for the "breathy" effect and went too far. | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? This thread has more twists than a Chubby Checkers' reunion... | |
| Best CD of Diana Krall?? Kitch, somehow my post was truncated and you said a mouth full. "Stepping Out" is my overall Krall favorite. Like a lot of artist's first releases it's not as polished as the later ones, but there's a sense of heart and soul later works seem to lo... | |
| Best CD of Diana Krall?? Overall the best, from a quality of recording, production and included material, it's a toss up between "Love Scenes" and "Only Trust Your Heart". | |
| Which Rack Is Better? I own an Atlantis Reference and looked closely at the Zoethecus. The Polycrystal is an unknown. After a year of using the Atlantis here are the high points: Decent and reasonably durable finish (mine's the black lacquer). Shelves are wide and deep... |
