| Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ? As good as the SACD of "Pawnshop" might be, I have it on vinyl and CD. The atmospherics of the vinyl are a "you are there" experience. IMHO, these Swedes do quite well with the American idiom. | |
| what type of sand to use? Play sand mixed with small gauge lead shot should do the trick nicely. The differing density of the two materials mixed together deaden the sonic signature of the rack without emphasizing or de-emphasizing any part of the frequency band thus not a... | |
| Album Sides Abbey Road side 2...has there ever been a more seamless medley of great songs? | |
| PS Audio Premier Power Plant or Audience Adept AR6 I would always go with the regenerator over the "condititoner". Creating new AC emancipated from the "grunge" on your power line is hard to beat. Filtering the slop on the power line just doesn't get it done to the same degree! | |
| What is the best Beatle Song I hope all of you are just responding to well....respond. There is NO answer to such a question. The Beatles' music lives outside such judgement. We've entered into the realm of the metaphysical!! | |
| Long ICs versus long speaker cables I know some folks disagree with you Rhljazz but your logic is also how I see it. | |
| Advice on going from mid level to high end I second Rja. Upgrade the DNA-1 at SmC Audio. Steve McC will take it from a diamond in the rough to the real thing! | |
| Cd transport isolation Consider contacting Steve Herbelin at Herbie's Audio. He has a variety of footers/isolation devices and is great at diagnosing a situation and recommending the best solution. | |
| Volume Control Hoi,Enjoy the new-found musicality of your system using the Golden Cross. If the music sounds "real" to your ears and supplies you with listening pleasure, then just sit back and enjoy! | |
| Volume Control Agreed Opus88! All it really takes IMHO is listening to live unamplified music to hear that sort of brightness is not what one hears from real instuments! As my daughter is a college music major I am treated to frequent live musical performance th... | |
| Has anyone used Mikrosmooth CD polish? As I understand it, Mikrosmooth is "smoothing down" micro particles of the CD surface that stand above the rest of the disc surface, thereby creating a consistent topography for the laser to read.The laser doesn't have to navigate over and around ... | |
| Has anyone used Mikrosmooth CD polish? Thanks for your responses. The theory behind the effectiveness of Microsmooth intrigues me. I can believe that the surface of CDs have micro imperfections that can be smoothed out with this polish enabling the CD laser to read the pits and valleys... | |
| Volume Control That is interesting as the Golden Cross is used by many audiophiles to tame the upper midrange and treble of digital sources that are all too often "hot" in those areas. | |
| Volume Control Not too surprising to hear that the Golden Cross enticed you to turn it up! The Golden Cross has a consistently "warm" sound in almost any application. Don't take that as a slam....some systems that have gone too far to the detailed, revealing sid... | |
| PS Audio GCC-250 - how to take it to "musicality" Do you have your components seated on "footers"? I have done a great deal of tuning in my system varying the type and composition of the footers to dial in more detail or more "musicality" as the need has arisen during the evolution of my system. ... |
