| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Glupson - At the risk of further discussion undermining my WGAS stance on the topic, I think you put your finger on the problem by pointing out the general vagueness of the term "audiophile" in asking what’s the objective/3rd party standard that m... | |

| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? glupson - Appreciated your 1:48PM 5/4/18 comments (as well as those from Stevecham in response). I’ll contribute in the form of an acronym my own profound insight to the question of why the Technics 1200 isn’t considered audiophile: WGAS. I sure d... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @slaw Excellent. Happy you liked it. There's a bunch of it on vinyl at Discogs. BUT many are re-issues. I do see some original Elektra and even a mono from a UK seller with 100% rating. Not cheap! Good luck. I have it in vinyl from a local ... | |
| Can a power cord increase the resolution of an Class D (SMPS) amp by more than 5% ? @atmasphere Wow. I actually think I understood that. Thanks for that clear explanation, Ralph. Is there some kind of parameter or specification that indicates power cable bandwidth? | |
| The Best AC/ IEC power plug combination. Oyaide, Iego, Neotech richardhkSome great questions. Consider PM'ing Williewonka for his participation in this thread to benefit others. Willie has done a lot of DIY cable work including power cords. He might have some input for you. I'll certainly be interested in... | |
| Looking for a Giant Killer Digital cable No direct experience with their coax but picked up a Oyaide NEO d+ Class A USB for low $ and was very impressed so Oyaide might be an option to explore. The 102SSC they cite is their replacement for Ohno Continuous Cast Copper, by the way. http:... | |
| I like Steve Guttenberg. +1 on Steve G., Chayro. Comes across to me as unpretentious and affable. | |

| Whats playing on your system today? @slaw Just got done an hour or so ago listening to Pinback's "Information Retrieved". Pokey77 turned me on to them some time ago. Saw elsewhere you had posted listening to Paul Buttefield Blues Band. That one, his (their) East/West along with R... | |
| If You Like Brian Eno and My Bloody Valentine ... @astewart8944 Great lyric from Cockburn. Thanks for sharing. If you aren't familiar with the site, you might enjoy very much a visit to A Closer Listen. Well-written reviews and tons of new music well off the too-much-trodden commercial path; ... | |

| If You Like Brian Eno and My Bloody Valentine ... Al (astewart) - Just to give credit where due...it was lowrider making the comparison to MBV and Slowdive (and btw, I agree with his comment! No comparison, really). That out of the way now, great write up from you. I hear what you are saying and ... | |
| Long lost songs Ever listen to these guys out of Long Island? Not exactly lost, but long ago. Kinda fits the spirit of this thread (I think).https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJNQg3lh_Y8They were still working until not that many years ago. | |
| Long lost songs 2channel - No clue the Myddle Class were from NJ. The most I can claim about them is a vague recollection of seeing their name at some point. At least the spelling looks familiar - though I’m not sure where I would have seen it in print. Yeah, Y i... |
