| Led Zeppelin Mothership From what I can tell after a cursory look at the Official Dynamic Range Data Base the new Led Zeppelin CDs and High Def files are quite compressed with the lowest level of most of them unfortunately being down in the RED and the average only in th... | |
| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer Best at Show is subjective and there is no committee that meets and makes an award. There could be many Best of Show at any one show. | |
| Led Zeppelin Mothership The problem is it's not judicious. That's my whole point. The examples I gave are eviscerated dynamic range wise. It's like a color photo that's been made black and white. Think of it like this, you've got a Miss America contestant who has a beaut... | |
| Now Playing: American Graffiti soundtrack LP The soundtrack from Apocalypse Now! Is more interesting. Maybe it's because I heard all the American graffiti songs til they're coming out of my ears. :-) | |

| How an audio rack can enhance your amp/pre But how they heck do you prevent Mother Earth from affecting the components. Houston, we have a problem. | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- If you're pretty sure your system actually sounds worse than it did last week. And you remember thinking the same thing last week. | |
| Budget Power Cords, which brand to choose? Wow, I would have guessed budget power cords meant under around $200. I'm quite positive I never ever spent more than $600 on all my power cords and interconnects put together. And I wasn't actually thinking in terms of budget. | |
| mapleshade ic's... It's a different threat gestalt now than fifty years ago. Pilotless planes are cheaper and less risky. | |
| I am going to build a listening room Suspend the room on springs and make the room spherical. Paint the walls industrial green. | |
| Wife stepping on speaker wire Suspending cables and cords from fishing line from eye hooks in the ceiling works for me. Kills two birds with one stone. It's what the pros do. |
