| April Music's new Eximus Transport - Any thoughts? There were a couple systems at CES 2005 that used them that sounded very good, especially the Dali MegaLines, which used the trnasport and dac, and a pair of prototype tube monos from the same company. | |
| Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock Many high-end speakers will work at loud volumes for this type of music. You should probably look for ones that are full-range, that is, have the ability to put out a lot of bass. This generally means big and / or multiple woofers. Mini-mopnitors ... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Must also jump to Ringo's defense - yes, he is fabulous (or fab). Perhaps he does not have the technical skills many others have. I do remember hearing him admit as much in an interview, that part of his sound comes from his difficulty in moving a... | |
| looking to build best vintage solid state system Amplifiers: Acurus A150(good all around performer at a budget, never agressive sounding), Arcam Delta 290 (more natural midrange than Accurus, but weaker bass), Pass Labs Aleph3(One fo the best amplifiers I have heard at any price, natural, detail... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Terry Bozio, from Missing Persons. Alwaythought he was good on that album, just saw an article in Drummer magazine, he was also w/ Zappa, (and others), lots of classical training. Now has a new CD out in which he plays a MASSIVE drum kit. The pict... | |
| Hiss noise from speakers Don't put your ear up to the tweeter."Doctor, It hurts when I do this.""Don't do that" | |
| WAF Tricks to Display Exotic Audio Neat cable dressing takes a lot of time, way more than you would imagine until you try it. It's definitely worth it when you see a pile of spaghetti turn into 3 neat little pipes with wires that break out right at the right spot. I did it when I w... | |
| How do I correctly store 10 new preamps? Maybe under the bed. | |
| Cables for surround Under carpet Do you meaqn feedback like a high piutched howl? Cables can't cuae this. Are you using any tubed equipment? If you put a tube very close to a speaker, you can get feedback, just move the thing away from the speaker. I had this problem when I had a... | |
| Cable isolators ??? ElDartford - interesting experiment - How were you monitoring the preamp? On an oscilliscope? Connecte to a power amp and speaker? I've always felt the same - cna't understand how vibrations affect solid state electronics, and especially cables - ... | |
| Will I notice the differance? I second the Sony unit. I havce an older 707ES, and it easily beat several high-end budget players (rotel CAL), and matched a $5000 EAD unit. My first recommendation is get rid of the RL-11. I had one of these, and grew to hate it. It really kills... | |
| Are we all destined to be "womenless" audiophiles? I would guess women would not advertise their gender on this site mainly to avoid stupid comments from the men. There ios one system I know of posted by a woman, and there are comments about what does she look like, is she single, wow, a woman!, e... | |
| Anyone else having trouble getting Wadia repairs? I had a problem with them some time ago where they had my 830 for months (maybe 8). At the time, the excuse was that they were going through a re-organization (which they were), and as far as I can tell, were out of business for a while. I've not ... | |
| Purpose of Decanters? You fill them up with rocks and place them on components to dampen resonances.;^) | |
| Time To Replace Tubes? Yes, there are gold EH6sn7s. I have one. I bought 4 EH6sn7s at CES. They didn't have enough of the regular ones, so I bought one gold one. The gold referes to the pins being gold plated. The EH rep assured me that there were no internal differnece... |
