| This is THE powercord I want : Red, so from all your trials, you feel that copper purity is secondary to Geometry and Dielectric? This is particularly important, because if copper purity or silver for that matter IS down the line,in importance, then this is a huge savings money... | |
| This is THE powercord I want : Redkiwi, I may be wrong here, but do you not think that the power cord material is just an extention of the power supply and is subject to the same improvements that say an Audio Note silver wire wound power supply and its benefits to that line of... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Redkiwi, I do not think that "stonewalling" of any member including 702, Steve etc., is good for the overall A-gon climate. Suppose a topic arose that 702 had expertise in, technical or otherwise? Now 702, I know that there are alot of thinkers on... | |
| What Are Your Audio Morals? Leafs, What about the guy that goes into the local hi end boutique shop (if those still exist), listens to say Vandersteen model 2 speakers, loves them, comes back every weekend for the next month to same dealer to hear them over and over again. T... | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? Now I know somebody here remembers Julie London. Liberty Records. | |
| Whatever happened to Enid? Detlof, the last conversation I had with her on the phone, was in the early 90s, when as Plato mentioned,she abandoned and sold off everything. I purchased her select Amperex BB tubes from her SP-6B preamp. We got into a conversation about Zip cor... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Slawney, I'm not anti SS as you seem to think. Overall, I feel that classic did a good job with the transfers. The bass and dynamics are superior, as mentioned previously. The "compression" is gone, the overall sound is cleaner, but more sterile a... | |

| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Khawk, Sugarbrie, I also try to purchase on CD, everything I like on LP. Sometimes it works(with decent sound), and sometimes it does'nt. But sometimes it surpasses the LP, as in the case of the incredible(musically) Deutch Grammophone DG catalog.... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Khawk, And that 1S/1S Pines sounds waaaay better than the Classic Reissue. Too bad, Had they used Doug at The Mastering Lab,I am sure he would have equalled and most likely surpassed the 1S/1S Original,since the tapes were in such good shape. Once... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? This is a great thread!! Albert, that procedure is facinating. When I used Last preservative,years ago, I felt that it rolled the treble a bit, so I stopped (Stylast did the same thing) . Is that why you use Image Restorer as your final step? Does... | |
| Multiple Copies Of LP s Same Title Whatjd says is of utmost importance. The basic record collector rules/guidelines for audiophiles are as follows:1)Always try to identify first issues/labels2)Always purchase the copy in the Home country of the master tape (and forget about those w... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? 702,I mostly agree with your last paragraph to me, regarding the "creative process" and older tube cicuits. There is a falacy existant that in MODERN circuits,there still is this cookbook recipie, that tubes produce coloration and sweetness and SS... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Fellas, After using your preferred solution on the HW-16 or 17, you MUST use another uncontaminated nozzle and Distilled water rinse, preferably 2 times per side(drench the entire playing surface). The real sound of the record will emerge after th... | |
| BEST AC CORD UNDER 1000? Neubilder, What you say is completely logical and believable. How can adding a few feet of special A/C cord possibly effect the sound after all of the cheap commercial grade Romex inside your walls?The answer is, logically it should'nt; but in rea... |
