| Cd storage..what's an audiophile to do? Does anyone using CD books have a problem when there is a new addition to their colection that, for orginizational purposes, needs to go in the middle of a binder? Wouldn't you have to move everything else behind it down one? I guess you could jus... | |
| Best Cool Jazz Record Hmm, I've never been clear about the difference between cool and hot jazz, someone help me out? I'm kind of surprised that Giant Steps and Take Five are the same temperature. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Check this out:http://www.enjoythemusic.com/audiohell.htmHe turns many of the usual equipment comparison systems on their heads.Seems pretty interesting, certainly worth a try. | |
| Don't try this at home hElP Twist depends on the phase of course.I just ordered some Paracrystal Brightline 4.6 pliers. It's kind of a splurge at $5500, but my dealer insisted I listen to some older Coincident cables he'd modded with them and I was blown away. Very lucid and... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I really wanted to audition a Tjobe, it's a shame the distribution is so limmited in the US. | |
| Best air guitar? drums? It's "And She Was" that would do it for me. TMBG is good for sing alongs also, and you aren't being outclassed by anyone's voice.Prince I haven't figured out yet, there's too much stuff to know where to start.I have some Turing Machine mp3s around... | |
| A little bit of Truth hmm, be careful about spelling "Truth" with a capital T...which philosopher was that...Sdcambell, it looks to me like that brain compensation phenomonon is also responsable for component "burn in", especially with cables and solid state equipment.... | |
| You get what you pay for... Hmm, well I can't say I'm happy to see this thead. I just purchased a used 500 SE here on audiogon. Apon recieving it, I found that the tray would not open for me and the display looked dim and had no characters on it. Well, it's in the shop now (... | |
| need advice on source That looks pretty neat Plato. I'd like to know how a profesional product like that stacks up against audiophile gear, with it's sometimes heavy style over substance aspect. | |
| Positioning and Listening distance I was considering starting a thread asking simply how far apart people's speakers are...While doing some math for my ~12 foot wide room, I found that the Cardas method puts the speakers only five feet apart. I set them there anyway just to try it ... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" My last statement? This looks like another confusion about "lamp cord" and lamp cord. By "Lamp cord" [in quotes] I mean zip cord, I probably should have called it that in the first place. I've never paid atention to the innards of lamp cord [no qu... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" That should be 12 gauge. That's the second time I've made that mistake here. 20 WOULD sound bad. | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" I put lamp cord in quotes because I meant any reasonably priced 20 gauge wire, like the speaker wire off the rolls at the home center or whatever people call monster cable. I'm not sure that acctual lamp wire would be such a good idea. | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Sean, when I said i wanted to try this out "properly", I meant in a blind test, in my room, with my equipment. THAT'S what it will take to convince to 'upgrade' my cable. But that's just me. I would suggest you try a blind comparison also, let us ... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Ah, gotcha Bear. It's even more confusing in that we both use CAPS for EMPHASIS.Doc Warnock, good point about practicality. I was geting carried away because I just finished a statistics course. I was all ready to wip out the null hypothesis, samp... |
