| SACD Recommendations Peter Gabriel's "UP". Diana Krall's "Girl in the Other Room", are examples of great SACDs, I think. Don't know about CDs sounding "better" but Chayro does have a point. Just because it's called SACD doesn't mean the sound is automatically SUPERior... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers Wow, Zavato....Rectilinear. The first speaker I ever bought. Used them with an HH Scott receiver and AR turntable. Don't recall what model Rectilinear (they were sort of over-sized book shelfs) but I do remember the high end being VERY rolled off.... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Because of this discussion I will listen to Stravinsky's "Symphony of Psalms" later today. To my ear, there is beauty there. Is it the beauty of Debussy or Ravel? No. For me, it is something more austere, transcendent and moving. | |
| Do It Yourself Hallographs I'm thinking tall candelabra. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Check out the scene at Deep Elm Records. Complaining about the stranglehold big biz got on music? Strike a blow against the empire. But be forewarned, you might not hear a single....Deep Elm Records | |

| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report More than one night's worth of digital listening here...Thanks to Pokey77 for the Rasinhill recommendation. Found "Nameless" on YouTube.

| Need a good Nerd Opinion - Biwire Best Value Another to consider (at least visit the website) is Anti-Cables. Paul claims different lengths will not matter with his cable. | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Jmc & Frogman - My 'what the heck' question was intended as rhetorical and to reflect my reaction when I read comments against using cable for tone control. Whether the goal is to more closely approach some objective standard of realism or sat... | |
| Best interconnects & speaker cable? I don't get it Jmcgrogan2 - FINALLY! Glad to see someone else commenting on what I've been wondering for some time. To your several good points...why the heck is it wrong to use cables as 'tone controls'? They act as tone controls whether or not consciously chos... | |
| New Pangea Audio AC-14 XL Power Cord I think the promotion is still running. The most recent Audio Advisor catalog that just came in the mail (SP114 as identifier...lower left back cover) is still listing an "Impossible-to-Resist Trade-in/Trade-up Deal: Get 100% Of Your Money Back Wh... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report In the digital domain courtesy of YouTube it's Kirwan/Welch era Fleetwood Mac with "Future Games", "Heroes Are Hard to Find" and now, "Bare Trees". | |
| Can I move speakers closer to sidewall if... Tboooe - Regardless of whether you re-position your speakers - give the folks at GIK a call. I used Excel to diagram my room and emailed that to them for use during a phone call. They were very helpful with suggestions. I did purchase corner soffi... | |
| Static electricity....again I use a length of lamp cord connected to the ground on a my power conditioner; touch the bare end of that wire before touching equipment. |
