| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's "Can u just purchase KOB mono single CD?...or do you have to blow your wad on the whole box?"Three guesses, the first two don't count. | |
| So......what do you use under your speakers? Tbg, if we could electronically cancel vibrations we wouldn't have so much difficulty in observing gravity waves. | |
| Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well? The system or the recording might be out of absolute polarity. | |
| "Slam"--what is it, is it really accurate? Kiddman wrote,"Remember that in real life the SPL of individual drums being hit reasonably hard (slam would imply more than soft gentle drumwork) is going to be over 100db. Well over. Most speakers simply don't have the ability to convey music tha... | |
| Cleaning melted plastic from MC275 chrome surface Give MacIntosh a call. I Have a feeling it's happened before. Nobody reads User Manuals. | |
| New to headphone amps --- I'm wondering ..... "But can anyone explain why a headphone amp that costs a fraction of the cost of one's much more costly main rig would sound better?"There are no crossovers in headphones. You can obtain high quality SET Class A power headphone amps relatively ine... | |
| Better when it rains? I suspect most folks would actually find the sound considerable better when a high pressure system (sunny and clear) is present and considerably worse when a low pressure system (stormy) is present. Depending on time of day, of course. :-) | |

| So......what do you use under your speakers? Tbg - I especially liked the one that had no resonant frequency. Was it the Halcyonics? :-). Myself, am having quite stellar results isolating printed circuit boards from transformer vibration, isolating/damping the transformer, and such. Big. Big... | |
| Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it? Dragon1952 wrote,"IMO, to say that an upgraded fuse or power cord can't improve SQ because it "defies the laws of physics", or some other science, implies physicists and other scientists have learned 100% of everything there is to possibly know...... | |
| Static electricity....again A more, uh, stubborn problem is the static charge that develops on spinning CDs due to the friction of air. This static charge can be dissipated by using anti static sprays or destat guns on the CD. A static electrical charge is also most unwelcom... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Wig, thanks for the info but I am under the impression from what I read on the www that the early Ken Rads are the King of Bass. My current Sylvania Badboys are not bass shy. It is a wee bit peculiar that there are often conflicting opinions on tu... | |
| What is behind a "warm" or "vinyl"sound? "This is primarily due to the mediocre DSP software that abounds."Really? I thought it was due to the lack of tube electronics in the recording chain. ;-) | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes I just got a matched pair of Ken Rad 1942 6SN7GTs on eBay for back up and am planning to send off to cryo lab ASAP. I figure, what the heck, why not? |
