| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! The polarized thoughts on Audio Note is fascinating (to me). The comment either in this thread or the other thread that the AN gear can not reproduce large scale such as orchestras is valid. But what AN does do well it does exceedingly well-it sou... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! @douglas_schroeder Mr. Schroeder, it is no easy task to tell when you are being serious and when you are not. Your history of posting is nothing to be proud of. Whether you are self-aware or not your subjective views are so far in the minority as ... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! @salectric Get a grip for Christ's sake! I never said my views were correct or real or objective or anything close other than being my views.No different than your view that HW's ugly JBL loudspeakers sounded great while others here were unimpress... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! When I think of shows I think of Art Dudley. If memory serves he went to one and after a day he was found in a room playing his guitar. I also think of the police convention in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". I have been. I am done. I can see th... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? J. Tull’s second LP. Clapton's third solo LP; "There's one in every crowd" Mike Morrow. Great product with additional set up advise. Mike provided addition discount and burn in time just to improve my experience. ... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend I have been following this thread from the beginning. My very subjective opinion is that you can not "intuit" your way into audio assumptions. This thread involves an assumption that if you keep the music server constant the DAC comparisons are va... | |
| Settings for Lyra Etna Cartridge I like mine at 470 but I use a Reed 3P with Firewire and Steelhead. At 100 things sound very slightly wooly. | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content Are there audio equipment manufacturers/producers in Russia? Why do you own American/European components? | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content I will take that to mean you are KGB. I am from Russia. At least, my grandparents were. From a long-gone village named Slutzk. My real last name was Telushkin before it got shortened. | |
| Lack of popularity of Chord??? I believe that all good audio products have robust conventional linear power supplies. Chord is anathema to that. I know that the OP has clarified that he is asking about their amps but the Dave is a great example of what I am talking about. John ... | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content Chakster-I don't mean to create thread drift but this thread is as good as any-I would love to know a bit more about you. You live in St. Petersburg but how old are you and what do you do for a living if you don't mind my asking? And even perhaps ... | |
| about tubes svetlana winged c help I don't know what those are but they are not NOS Winged C's. Look here (you can click on the photo to enlarge it) and check out the printing on the tube. Much different. https://tubedepot.com/products/sed-winged-c-el34?gclid=Cj0KCQjw5oiMBhDtARIsAJ... | |
| Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry? Joe at JPS/AbyssOh yeah. When I got back into audio in about 1995 after a hiatus I bought a pair of B&W 805 Matrixes. Joe made a product called "Golden Flutes" that were powered equalizers to boost the bass response specifically made for just ... | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats @fsonicsmith You have mis-characterized my comments about the Technics, just so you know. I think its a very good deal. But I have a Triplanar on mine, as I feel the machine's weak points are the arm and the platter pad. Equipped with the Tripl... | |
| I'm a Dummy, Tell Me About Turntable Mats Just why do you think mats change the sound? Could it be because they dampen the record in differing ways? If so would they be dampening some sort of resonance? Where would you guess that is coming from?I knew I would get this type of response as ... |
