| "The Beatles" Apple Lossless on iTunes? This is exactly what sucks about all this new downloading of music. The people selling you this stuff won't even tell you what you are getting. Why bother, nobody cares. It is unimportant to the average MP3 user. You can't even ask "the store" a q... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records It was the one where he had laryngitis and couldn't sing and moan along as he played. | |
| Bach: Six Suites Unaccompanied For Cello For what it's worth, I like the Starker, but haven't heard the others. This isn't my favorite Starker recording though. That would be Starker plays Chopin, Bartok, Mendelssohn, Martinu, Debussy, Weiner. Mercury # 434 358-2. Check this out if you a... | |
| Stylus Microscope Mechans, actually, I haven't taken the time yet to research it yet. Thought I would check here first. I saw something in a catalog that we received in the mail which piqued my interest. Now I can't seem to put my finger on it. Might have already b... | |
| Totem Forest, Zu Soul, or Superfly Sorry guys, but I have no intention of changing amplifiers. At the risk of stepping on some toes, I hate to say it, but, I am growing tired of uninformed people telling me that the 15 watt amps can't possibly drive the Totems. Something I guess yo... | |
| Genalex Gold Lion EL84 Just had one GL go bad after 18 months or so use. All the others still test as good. Perhaps we can't expect them to last as long as NOS stuff. Anyone else have any problems? | |
| Rotel RCD-1520 or 1072? Don't forget that some think the slot loading is hard on the CD's playing surface. | |
| Tubes in the Dark? There is a simple way to justify placing the amps so you can see the tubes: You could have a "runaway tube" situation where one output tube starts to glow bright red. You need to see the tubes so you can jump up and shut the amp down ASAP. See, be... | |
| Wish List For Vinyl Pressings Ani Difranco... Living In Clip Up, Up, Up Like I SaidHello, Rightous Babe Inc, are you listening? Your Knuckle Down LP had murky sonics. Bring us the good stuff like Living in Clip | |
| 6ER5 Tube Question - Wright WPP 100 Phono Stage How about a quote from the Listener Magazine review, May/June 2002 about the 6ER5 tubes..."George Wright says he uses them primarily because they avoid the "degenerative capacitance" (up to 240 pf) that can result in high frequency deficiencies wi... | |
| Wright Sound WPP specs please TD 160, not sure what is going on there, but every combination of amps and preamps I have tried has yielded better sound in my system straight into the power amps. As usual, I guess I should have stated YMMV. Perhaps the Wright is too high output ... | |
| Wright Sound WPP specs please Yes, the 200 replaced the 100. The 100 used 6ER5 tubes and the 200 used the classic 12AX7. I'm only guessing here, but I'll bet George got tired of people complaining about the noisy 6ER5 tubes. In the very beginning, he could have just designed a... | |
| phono preamp Used Wright 100C or 200C. Use it without a linestage to get the most out of it. Use the gain pots for volume control. A little inconvenient because they are small and close together but much better sound this way no matter what preamp you have. | |
| I need a lower gain 12au7 for Mastersound I'm no tech. expert, but I always thought the 12AU7 was designed as a "unity gain" tube. Meaning it does not provide gain at all. Usually used at the end of a preamp as a cathode follower to improve that circuit's ability to drive the cable and th... | |
| Grado Sonata Mahogany vs Jarrah? No, but I have compared the Mahogany Master to the Jarrah Master 1. Master 1 is better. Remember, there have been other changes to these designs than just the body. Not sure how much can be attributed to the wood itself. They claim lower coloratio... |
