| Does a Postal Money order need to "clear"? if you send someone a regular old personal check and it bounces, they have to pay a TWO buck penalty to the bank.wow, that's really a tough situation alright! my payment and my word of honor is enough. i am a certifiedfanatical kook with TWO syste... | |
| Has the internet been good for audio? i too have spent extra bucks for the privilege of auditioning components locally. am i to know how B&W-801's sound by reading someone's opinion in stereophile or over the internet? what about theils? mark levinson amplifiers? the 4-piece wilso... | |
| Opinions of the EMM DCC2 SE the DCC2SE has TWO ANALOG INPUTS- one rca and the other xlr.i bought a pair of cardas xlr-male to rca female ($65) so i could use both. the preamp is crystal clear but it lacks the last bit of musicality- my terms in this case would be "body" or "... | |
| Tape Project Tapes DUMB POINT #4- I have 4 (out of five) decks that run at 7/15 ips, with half-track heads (two with a fourth head that plays quarter-track tapes as well). i could definitely even go for a 15ips tape SANS fancy packaging, serial-numbered, etc. (i wan... | |
| Tape Project Tapes i am not trying to fuel a debate or an argument here (well, not intentionally anyway). what i AM trying to say, probably not very effectively, is that a tape project tape for $300 of some music i don't like that much is just not my cup of tea, jus... | |
| Tape Project Tapes i still have to wonder if i was misunderstood- if they want to make some $Money$ they could offer 7.5ips dubs of their premium tapes that could be played on a teac, revox, akai, pioneer, sony, etc. which are far more affordable to alot more people... | |
| Levinson DAC needs kidney may i ask a dumb question, like what's wrong with substituting the dacs from a 390S, 36, 36S, 360, or a 360S? aren't they as good or better? plus there's alot of them for sale on audiogon all of the time. plus i will trade you for a complete check... | |
| Tape Project Tapes heck, i wouldn't mind a 7.5ips dubbed copy of one of their tapes sans packaging, etc. for, let's say, $75? the audiophile lp 180gm would cost about $30; so add the cost of a nice reel of tape ($20) and the time and effort ($25). play it on a regul... | |
| Who likes LATIN JAZZ? there's some great information here- thanks! the station of interest is WDNA.ORG - latin jazz from 8pm to midnite (EASTERN TIME) on the internet with playlists as well. i'm really getting into the music more and more all the time. | |
| Most pleasing sound vs most hifi sound my tivoli bedroom radio/sub system attenuates treble freqencies in a smooth roll-off which seems to benefit the music coming over most stations. i can even listen to classical music as long as it's not a large scale piece of music with everyone jo... | |
| has anyone heard the new levinson 53? article states the 33h holds its own against the newer amp,but doesn't "look sleek and modern". so what does "holds its own" mean exactly? the newer amp is much more powerful, so in that respect alone there is little basis for comparison. better t... | |
| Mark Levinson Nr32 compares to ......... this subject keeps coming up regarding mark levinson components, of which i am admittedly biased towards, not against. some ML gear sounds inferior when compared to other, usually very expensive products. or ML updates and improves on a cdp, pream... | |
| Has the internet been good for audio? of course yes, BUT- once upon a time there were mid-fi stores all over my city; some would sell components at huge discounts. my 1st thorens tc-160 cost $185 at such a store (new). i had to buy and mount my own cartridge, but (so what?). then ther... | |
