THE IRS HAS TAKEN MY TRANSACTIONS VIA PAYPAL AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS TAXABLE INCOME richopp +1 | |
Rank the tweaks, geeks! terry9++ just wish I had more '05 red Burgsspeaker isolation: Nobsound weight bearing limit is 80lb per quad. What springs for 140 lb. speakers? 8 Nobs under each speaker feels a little fussy. | |
Best Preamp and Amp combination, interesting finding!!! Seems to me the only easy way you could make the amp have the greater effect would be to use a passive pre with all candidates. At least that's what I would do, unless of course I already owned my unconditional, forever pre, in which case the only... | |
Nicks or McVie..... Why the either/or? Why must we humans insist on rating and ranking incommensurables? Christine is a great writer/vocalist. Stevie is a great writer/vocalist. Neither is the GOAT, but then who is, or should be? Is anything better than Della Reese's... | |
Clean AC power Doesn't keeping your audio components on a dedicated circuit protect them from noise generated by other household appliances? If not, what purpose does a dedicated circuit achieve? | |
Clean AC power @nonoise,Thanks. The improvements you report are just what I'm wishing for. Was hesitating on regenerators, with PS Audio's entry-level being double the price of the Audioquest. Believe I will start just where you did and, with luck, maybe need lo... | |
Clean AC power nonoise, what specific methods and/or gear are you using to clean up the power? Thanks. | |
Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. Some errors that we blame on writers and editors may actually be the fault of "spellcheck" software. "Spellcheck" programs recognize only around 1,500 words, none of them naturalized from languages other than English, and demand that any word havi... | |
What ever happened to Mark Levenson? Obscure petty criminals named Mark LevEnson aside, there is only one Mark Levinson in audio, and Daniel Hertz SA, based in Neuchatel, is his latest enterprise. (He is also working to upgrade mass-marketer LG's audio. Seems an odd project for him, ... | |
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! facten, bdp24, appreciate the info. Sounds do-able after all. | |
Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! Does Townshend have a USA dealer for the seismic isolation bars? Everything I see is UK. | |
Springsteen and Clapton on their favorite, heh, band. Let's also not forget that Love's "Forever Changes" was released in November 1967. More than one critic has named it their top "desert island" record, and for good reason. All of the above-named artists heard it. Maybe a one-off, what with the or... | |
Drivers and how to clean them: Notes from ScanSpeak Do drivers become dirty when grilles are left on? Mine are difficult to remove/replace, and some take offense when guts are exposed. Same ones who think cookware should be hidden away as though one had an invisible chef or only dined out. | |
Upscale Audio and Primaluna Evan at Upscale provided great customer service when I felt the need for a high-end streamer and amicable outboard DAC -- even tho he turned out wrong about some details. My search quickly narrowed to Lumin and Aurender, and Evan talked me through... | |
Half speed masters. Are they worth the extra scratch? If we take it as given that White Hot Stamper will beat all the others, I'll need another $5 outlay on the vinyl section to find out. But then we always need some excuse or other, eh? Even if Significant Others find our reasons incomprehensible. |
