| Survey-What is your most used source? Strictly CD here. Analog beckons, but after having had three vinyl collections stolen over the years I decided to not go through that grief again. Funny that losing my CDs wouldn't be nearly as traumatic! | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s No, I'm the one who should be apologizing, Detlof. Just reread your post and, oops! My blunder. Sorry about that. Still, enough of this topic. It's been beat to death. Next! | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s What I read was the suggestion of a one-to-one bet. No science, no statistics, just schoolyard bully taunting. If you saw something different, fine. At this point the water line has reached my eyebrows and I'm swimming back to shore. Enjoy the wat... | |
| Percussion Check out Al Di Meola's latest release and debut of his new band, "World Sinfonia", "The Grande Passion" (Telarc CD-84381). The percussionists are Gumbi Ortiz and Gilad, while Herman Romero backs up Di Meola on acoustic guitar and Mario Parmisano ... | |
| Hockey Pucks under amp? Remember that hockey pucks should be cryogenically treated (i.e., frozen) before use. This is why the used ones always sound better. | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s Steve, my assertion was not that the "believers" here have attributed any specific phenonema to psychological influence, but that it was erroneous to claim its existence and potential for influence has been discounted by that group. Quite the cont... | |
| Attention Scientists, Engineers and Na-s Ahem. It's a bit over the top to offer as fact that the "believers" here have take the position that psychology doesn't play some part in what they hear. Quite the contrary, as a matter of fact, which anyone who has spent time on this site well kn... | |
| Silver or copper cables? Given that you're correct, Steve, and others would readily believe you about how a conductor performs, why are you so adamant about disagreeing with their reports? Don't you believe that respect deserves respect in return? Do you really care about... | |
| Silver or copper cables? Why not give those tubes of salt water a try, Steve, and let us know if it makes a difference? My guess is it would be real, shall we say, enlightening...! | |
| pwr conditioner - vans evers unlimiter Craig, my DNA-1 sounds noticeably better plugged straight into the wall. Plugged into the Vans Evers Model 83, even one of the amp outlets, diminished dynamics; it was the basic "adding veils to the music." | |
| Isolation vs. Absorbtion No, Redkiwi, it wasn't just your sensibiities that were offended by that shamless plug. Mine, too. Pardon my harping on ethics yet again, but as with basic courtesy toward our fellow man ethics are apparently in short supply these days and the ava... | |
| EVS Millennium DAC II Someone I know has received his EVS. I heard it last weekend, but not knowing the system cannot draw any hard conclusions. | |
| Silver or copper cables? So, now there's a qualifier in "adequate size", huh? Next thing it'll be copper, single-stranded, shielded cables with spade connectors of "adequate size". Sarcasm aside, Steve has actually begun to answer his own question. There's more to some ca... | |
| Any Famous people on Audiogon ? Aside from cameo appearances on a few TV shows like "Beyond 2000", "MTV Sports" and a couple of local TV "magazines", my fame has been limited primarily to a critically acclaimed dissertation on the Luddites. Okay, only half of that is true. Your ... | |
| Best Copper IC under 200. Given his responses to every subject he's commented on thus far, this guy would be happier on AudioReview.com. Might I make a friendly suggestion to give 'em a whirl and leave us to our "delusions." That way everyone can be happy. |
