| Silver v Copper wire phono cable Indeed. An experiment out of necessity since the AN loom was not usable and I had the others ready to be put into service. The “experiment” confirmed my previous impressions. | |
| ''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum **** Secondly, at no time would this information be concealed, it would be described correctly, Third Party Service Provider and Methods chosen, this would be revealed, whether during a demonstration or if the decision was made to sell.**** Absol... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Catching up a little. First, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all! Awesome Jerry Lewis. Man, those guys were talented! Beautiful flute by the great Frank Wess on the classic Basie tune “Cute”. Thanks, acman3. Rok, you raise an interesting ... | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable Merry Christmas to all! A follow up with impressions based on a recent experience and in the context of my system: Shortly after my previous post here one of the cartridge clips broke on the AudioNote silver wire loom that I use on the Eminent T... | |
| Magnepan .7 vs 1.7 tech question? I don’t doubt that the right boutique fuse might improve the high end, but how do you know that “The fuses that come with them appear to do the opposite.”? Have you bypassed the fuses and compared? Curious. | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados As their title makes clear, composed for “practicing”. 😊 | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Putting aside the question of whether musicians such as Milstein, or Perlman can be compared to unquestionable geniuses such as Haydn. The very things that drive any particular artist’s personal approach to “practice” in its various forms are also... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Merry Christmas to all! On the subject of practicing: No question that disciplined practicing elevates one’s playing no matter what stage of one’s development as a musician is at. It is a life (career) long pursuit. To a great artist, there r... | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados I agree re Perlman. Certainly a great player, but hard to match the restrained sophistication of expression of Milstein. For instance, his glissandi are, in fact, a little “thick”. His Glazunov “Meditation” is beautiful, but FOR ME, when he mak... | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados Lovely “Meditation” by Perlman. Meditation of a different kind: | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget I suppose it depends. One can always start with a pair of solid good sounding, but moderately priced IC’s. Nordost Red Dawn works great in my setup, in part due to the Manleys’ and EAR’s inherently full sound. Not too pricey used. I continue to th... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Thank you for your reasoned and civil comment and question, jdoris. As is often the case here a simple and honest question from someone with a little experience in the hobby and a modicum of intelligence illicits a response that takes matters down... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget That’s certainly a comparison that I would like to hear. Anyway, that is why I asked the question. It was not an assertion of any kind since as I said before, I have not kept up with the integrated market. Nor do I feel the need to as I’m perfe... | |
| Integrated vs. Separates on a Budget Miller, you are taking my comment out of context and missing the thrust of my comment. My comment/question was clearly in reference to how USED separates such as the linked Rowland Coherence One preamp and a Bryston 4B amplifier, both highly regar... |
