| Movies that featured High End equipment Anyone recall the brand of the very large speakers in A Clockwork Orange used when playing Beethoven in the hospital? | |
| Top ten tube amps BWS Consulting. Just for the record. http://bws-tube.com/ | |
| Best rack for non-suspension turntable? The big problem for the super-rigid or super-massive schools of TT isolation is that the continuous motion of the Earth's crust (and other sources of low freq. vibration such as traffic) forces the building's foundation and structure to shake, sha... | |
| Top 5 Minnie Pearl Songs? I don't know if it was hers or not, but "I got the Hungries for You and I'm Waitin' in the Welfare Line" has always been a favorite country & western song and gets to the heart of what makes country music so appealing, intimate and sublime. | |
| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones Elizabeth, as always, you are full of surprises. | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Traffic, subways and other sources of Low Freq. Vibration (that shake the house) are included in my definition of "seismic vibration." The proof that wall mounting is not totally effective is to employ an isolation device under the component mount... | |
| How to best isolate TT from vibration? Unfortunately, (continuous) very low frequency seismic vibration forces the entire house or apt. to move up and down. Thus, wall mounting is only partially effective for isolating in the vertical direction - a "de-coupling" device is required to "... | |
| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones That's easy. Neither. | |
| Anyone know of a good pressing of Stickey Fingers? Somewhat disagree. The original "zipper" US version is very good, dynamic and open, altho some variation in sound from track to track. The MOFI is very good IMO but definitely compressed compared to the original record (or CD), tho' with excellent... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it "...I feel sorry if in anyway I might have appear to have been dis-respectful in forcing my own opinion upon you. That's not my intention, but I do feel the way those Isoclean Chinamen price their products are bordering on dishonesty; or looking f... | |
| To cryo or not to cryo Rustler - Getting back to the original discussion: after all is said and done, and I'm not disagreeing with you regarding how stores might set up/display their TVs, but at the end of the day, no matter where or how one evaluates TVs for purchase, ... | |
| Isoclean fuses: definitely worth it Tab110s - obviously you've never seen both the Hi Fi fuses and the Isocleans. They are a long long way from being alike.Cheers | |
| To cryo or not to cryo Rustler - If what you say is true, I'd think they would want the expensive TVs to sell better; that would probably explain why the expensive ones often look best. Q: If what you say is true, that all stores engage in this sort of trickery, what ad... | |
| To cryo or not to cryo Rustler, can I assume you take the TVs back to your home for your evaluation? Do you perform A/B tests. Perhaps DBT?Cheers | |
| To cryo or not to cryo Perception is underrated. Example: How do you buy a TV? You walk into the store and say to the salesman, let me see some of your best TVs. Then you look at 3 or 4 TVs and you pick the one you think has the best picture. At no time do you ask the s... |
