| What Are Your Audio Morals? Fpeel-- such language :>) What did we do before the advent of the internet? Personally, I've only used i-net purchasing for the last year and a half or so. Prior to that, I used a combination of a good local dealer (and their annual 20% off sal... | |
| Cable Supenders - Anyone Try Vibrapods? I have tried putting Vibrapods under my cables (on carpet over wood floor) and could hear no difference so I removed them. They looked sort of tacky IMO. It seems to me that there are two considerations that need to be addressed, vibrations and st... | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Lak; I'm beginning to get PO'ed-- no CJ CD yet, and not only that, above posts suggest it's "poor". I'm hoping for a signed copy;>) Craig | |
| Best Preamp w/ Headphone Jack .......agree with Sonic Frontiers-- either Line 1 or Line 2. I have both-- they are excellent pre-amps and the headphone section of both are great. I use them with Senn. 600s also.BTW, the Line 1 and 2 sound an awful lot alike with the Line 2 havi... | |
| Best Rainy Day music Cowboy Junkies "The Caution Horses". This CD is also my favorite music for "tough times" (Issabre; if you're interested I think you could search this under "tough times")-- a thread I started awhile ago. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions .......in my above post, it should be "Studio, 1986-95". Puddles; I also ordered right away from the Junk Store-- maybe I'll "get lucky" and get a signed copy. I didn't know they were doing that.Cornfed; re your comments above, their new CD sounds... | |
| System sounds better at night? My system goes into this super quiet hyper-drive mode about 11 PM every night-- it's a well known phenomenon among audiophiles as Sean notes above.As to achieving this quality during the day; putting in a dedicated AC system, ground system, high q... | |
| Who is the sexiest female vocalist? Hi Dds_hifi; Nice thread. I would agree with Diana Krall for today, but from some years ago, I would nominate Roberta Flack singing "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face"-- this song leaves me nearly breathless-- and it's over 5 minutes long. It's ... | |
| Cowboy Junkies "Open" opinions Rhljazz; Interestingly, I have all of Cowboy Junkies CDS, and my three favorites are not even on your list. I like 1) "Caution Horses", 2) "Waltz Across America", 3) "Studio, 1975-86. But I still like those you've listed. I don't have "Open" yet--... | |
| Insolvency Nice (and generous) post Cornfed. Craig | |
| Straight wire with gain???? ......it's the journey that's important, eg I have no illusions about actually creating the "live performance" in my 12' X 14' listening room. I agree with Liguy-- glad to see you here Kelly-- there for awhile I thought you may have burned some Ag... | |
| My Poop theory by kublakhan I like Bluenose's approach, and also Paulwp's. There are taxes, up-grade the system, and death. But really, sometimes when I find myself in a "stereo slump", I (try to) work harder at finding new and interesting music-- or it can be old and intere... | |
| Passive bi-amping works ? Supakit; biamping with a 4 channel amp is probably breaking new ground. I have read that "sometimes" bridging channels does not improve music quality/character. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Passive bi-amping works ? Like other things audio, it's controversial, but like mono-blocs, bi-amping allows for use of (potentially) very short speaker cables. Many claim significant improvements with the use of short speaker cables.My amps will be back from SMc Audio (fo... | |
| Would I benefit from biamping? Hi Mcne; can't answer you yet, but maybe in a couple of weeks. I've had the same questions you have, so I just decided to "do it". My McCormack DNA-2DXs are now at SMC for upgrading and matching for passive vertical bi-amping.Both Vandersteen Audi... |
