| Which Line Conditioner? Apart from the specified power lines and PC's, I would audition as many conditioners as possible (preferably the ones that are mentioned above). This is because different ones interract inconsistently with the various conditioners and the amount o... | |
| Which Line Conditioner? Power conditioners are generally a crap-shoot. Every brand screams for attention, few actually deliver on their promise. I have a >70K system with a dedicated a/c feed. The only unequivocal (nay, colossal!) difference in 'purifying the juice' (... | |
| What deserves to be Remastered on CD? Supertramp, Fleetwood Mac | |
| Inteligent high end cableing I am certain that the myriad cable manufacturers "voice" their products with certain components (eg. Levinson, CJ, ARC, Wilson, etc). I suspect that there is a deliberate conspiracy on their part to conceal the details of these components so that ... | |
| Speakers with Rotel amp I used to have Monitor Audio (MA 700) spkrs with your combination and they sounded wonderful. However, these are bookshelf spkrs. Audition the floorstanders if these are more desirable | |
| Tired of same ol' CD'd... Cesaria Evora - Albums:"Ms Perfumado" and "mar Azul". Originally from Cape Verde islands - sings in Portuguese (themes are mostly nostagic/loss) - wonderful rhythms; tunes linger in your mind long after you've heard them. Also, Jane Bunnett, Canad... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Mike: Thanks so much for sharing your ingenuity - I hope to be as successful. | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Megasam - many thanks for your interest and thoughtful response. In the process of attaching the King Cobra V2 PC (this is the most obese 'reptile' I know) to my CDP (while perched on the MIB Aurios), the CDP almost got "catapulted" off the equipm... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Recently acquired MIB Aurios for my CDP and DAC. I was truly amazed at the immediate difference. Bass was much much tighter and the treble smoother and seemless with more bloom. Music became so effortless and made me feel more at ease too. Depth a... | |
| Most Honest Audio Magazine? I agree with most of the sentiments above. I find that the British Mags tend to be less hyped than the American ones, in particular HFN&RR. However, they obviously favor British gear, alot of which is inferior to North American stuff. American... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices Lihifiguy: Where do you obtain the Vistek Aurious bearings? How much do they cost per set? Under what components do you find they work best? Are you a hermit, by any chance, as you seem to be such an expert on ISOLATION?? Kidding! | |
| Monitor Audio - Hype or the good stuff? I lived with the MA 700's (gold tweeters) bookshelf spkrs for 3 years (with Rotel components). They were absolutely delightful! I've upgraded to a much larger system as I have a much bigger listening environment and have grown a little demented to... | |
| Various Bearing Isolation Devices I'm clueless about which are decent isolation devices especially when there are so many screeming for attention. Would like to know which are the best value? Also, under which components (other than a tt and t/port) are they of additional benefit? | |
| This will stir your soul!!!! Have not heard it, but in HP's editorial in the latest TAS, he said that this soundtrack was one of his guiltiest pleasures | |
| Krell Amplifiers FPB? I'm not certain of the reason. What I have observed, isthat the newer series is definitely more musical sounding than that bright, forward, steely quality which used to be so typical of Krell products. The midrange and treble of these products is ... |
