| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Steve, My "Placebo Effect" is in reverse. When I try Radio Shack cables vs multi kilobuck ICs I am praying and rooting real hard that Radio Shack wins the contest. I dont like paying the same price for an IC as an amplifier.It goes against my sens... | |
| Best Sax Jazz Good addendum SD, but no fair reversing number 2 (ha ha, just kidding)....Frank | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" This is utter nonsense 702. Dr Floyd Toole, credentials and all, does'nt even beleive that differences in Amps exist that measure the same. He has always been a hardliner Julian Hirsh type and I would hate to think of our sonic past and presant, h... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Steve, The boombox example does not apply here. We are dealing with the top 3% of the market here. My amp distortion could approach 1 percent, and these differences will still be clearly audible. Ran old McIntosh MC-60s and PILOT tube gear from th... | |
| Best Sax Jazz Sd, wonderful work, very thorough, as for the "hardcore" picks, mine go like this;1) Coltrane>>> All on Atlantic, Prestige and Impulse, but not "A Love Supreme" or Impulse after that time period.2)Cannonball Adderly, Somethin Else, In Chi... | |
| Oracle Delphi mkI tweaks Kublakhan; The original Mk-1 Oracle tt was a very musical table. It wiped out all the competition when first issued(including the Linn, but not in the bass). The only competition it had was the Goldmund Studio TT, which got more music off the LP. ... | |
| Which XLR interconnect for spectral gear JD, I only am familiar with the original issue MI-350 from a few years ago. If the new ones are better I can't say, but if Detlof says 350 EVO, than I would listen to him. His ears are Quad conditioned (speakers) and I am sure he has it right. Goo... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Dekay is correct that measured distortion has nothing to do with the changes you will or wont hear. I did the experiments 20 years ago before exotic PCs existed. Back then all we had were cords by giant commercial cable companys,(like Belden, Colu... | |
| Which XLR interconnect for spectral gear Fellas, dont forget, with Spectral, the RCA & XLR I/Os are wired to the PC board with MIT cable. This is a dream come true for audiophiles. Running MI-350 (personally the best wire I have ever heard ),is a glove match with Spectral. The design... | |
| Classic Levinson Amps Cw, The amps from the "real" MLAS company were the modelsML-2,mono, class-A, 25 wattsML-3 Stereo, Class AB, 200 WPCML-9 Stereo, 100 WPCThe ML-2, was the great one, but unless you have four of them bridged together its no way on the Maggies. ML-3, ... | |
| Favorite of Dick s Picks I beleive Dick's Picks Volume III is the great one from 1977. There is a point on disc 2 that begins with "Estimated Profit" goes onto "Eyes of The World", to "Terrapin" and onto the most amazing version of "Wharf Rat" that you have ever heard. Af... | |
| Good amp for Genesis II System Dont forget, Arnie always designs with tubes. Tubes will be the output of preference that Genesis or Infinity top panels want to see. If not, get ready for zippyness......Frank | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Kev, so how's Max doing after all the tests? | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Detlof, where would this site be without you? Thank you for your, as usual, kindness.Regarding JM, I admit "Blue" as well as "Ladies of the Canyon" and "For the Roses" were the great works of her early folk years, but the middle period that includ... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Whoever gave me double negative 2s for this one, really does need a life. |
