| "Pace", it's importance for enjoyment? whatjd; I think that many factors in a stereo system can affect "pace" (also called PRT, or Pace, Rhythm and Timing). For example, when I used a Levinson AES/EBU digital cable between ML 37 transport and ML 360S DAC, music was tremendously detaile... | |
| Please Help Solid State Amps ? Hi Mark; I could write a couple of pages about the virtues of the McCormack DNA-2DX, the Rev. A, and a pair of Rev. A's by SMc, but they've pretty well been covered by the reviews posted by Mikec above.These are seriously powerful, smooth, refined... | |
| My latest find. What's yours? Terry Evans "Mississippi Magic" on Audioquest-- up there with T. Evans best blues. Craig | |
| To Preamp or not to Preamp, that is my q I agree with John_1. I prefer to run the signal from a CD source through a good TUBE pre-amp-- music becomes well, more musical, less harsh, less electronic, richer, more holographic etc, etc, etc. Cheers. Craig | |
| How can you tell when tubes are shot? Hi Ntscdan; I keep my SF Line 2 in standby when not in use, and I found out the hard way when to replace it's tubes. After a year or so of use, the sound (music) becomes harder, brighter, more "brittle", and fatiquing-- but this happens gradually-... | |
| CD Transport for the next 10 years..... Krocdoc; are you thinking of the Levinson No. 37 transport? If so, I agree, I own the ML No. 37 and it's excellent-- especially when used with an ML DAC. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Rudeness With 'net Sales Redkiwi; sorry to hear of your sour dealings on Audiogon. Personally I've had over 50 transactions-- both buying and selling-- on Audiogon and eBay and they've all been good ones. I also have had several deals with Stewart at Sanctuary of Sound in... | |
| Another blues great passes... Very sad to hear, but thanks for the notice Sd. John Lee Hooker was certainly one of the all time great Bluesmen. I'll spin his music until I die. Craig | |
| The Best Movie sound Tracks "Pulp Fiction" and "Blown Away" are ones I actually listen too as opposed to just own. | |
| Close your eyes and hear the music ? .....a considerably different take on this; the other day I completed a vigorous workout about mid-afternoon, toweled off and flopped down in front of my warmed up stereo. A great experience, the music was more crisp, clear, warm, and natural than... | |
| Best and Worst Product Names I like Muse as one of the best-- Pink Triangle as one of the worst. The name makes me think of those cheap plastic pink flamingos that some people put in their yards. Cheers. Craig | |
| Your favorite blues album? Rushton is right on about Robert Lucas. His "Locomotive" CD has fantastic slide guitar. Certainly one of my favorites. Craig | |
| Your favorite blues album? "Strike a Deep Chord", sub-titled "Blues For The Homeless". This is a CD by various artists. It came out several years ago and proceeds from its sales were to go to the homeless. I don't know if it's still available, but is sure worth looking for-... | |
| I normally don't ask for help, but..... I offer my prayer's for your friends Cindy and Gary. God Bless. Craig | |
| Power Cord Review I suggest including the Synergistic Research Master Coupler. It is a standard of sorts and one of the most popular PCs ever-- in fact it probably set the standard for aftermarket power cords. At $325. it is still one of the best on the market. I'v... |
