| A stupid question(s) about power cords Sorry, @mrdecibel , I feel that on Slow Hand, Clapton’s vocal work is often a bit rough and scratchy sounding, and I am personally thinking that this is probably due to the excesses of that period of time. On a quick edit: now that we have been t... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords I am sorry you did not enjoy Clapton's voice on your system. @mrdecibel , actually you misunderstood me--I did enjoy his voice when I realized that it was not the result of a poor source CD, but was the result of the abuse that his vocal cords... | |
| seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers? @mitch2 , do you use the fat dots with or without the adhesive option? And, on edit, do you think that the size: big fat dot would be the way to go with a 22 Lb. monitor speaker? | |
| room setup suggesion needed Interesting and informative thread. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords . . . as an example of what I was talking about, I remember once I was listening to the red book mfsl Eric Clapton/Slow Hand and on the mellower tracks, Lay Down Sally and May You Never and Next Time You See Her, it was so apparent to me that the ... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @ghdprentice , as I have said before: I always appreciate your perspective and the way you present it. @audphile1 Hopping back in for a listen late last night revealed a slightly harsh treble that I didn’t detect few hours prior listening to... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @mrdecibel , @dill , I’ll just weigh back in here quickly to say that in a few more (three or four) weeks (or maybe less) when I have accumulated 100 hours on the new speakers and the cords, I am going to unhook the speakers and put the B&... | |
| Sweetest sounding 12AU7? I'll be rolling in tubes for quite some time! Life is good! | |
| Sweetest sounding 12AU7? Back in the late ’90s, Andy from Vintage Tubes sold me a half dozen NOS Mullard 12AU7s for my preamp (along with some Amperex 6922s for the amp) and I remember feeling that the sound I got from that combination was warm and musical and rocking. "S... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @dill , yes, if an improvement, even one so small that I will not IMMEDIATELY hear, can be made for around $150, I'll give it a try. And if not, que sara, sara. So, you don't have the ear for it and it is a hassle to change the cable, but you ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers Maybe these are different. @mofojo , I am only a bit over 30 hours, so from what I have read here it is too early to pass judgement, so therefore I am not doing so just yet, but I will say that depending upon the source, they are quite lively... | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords @audphile1 , I absolutely hate trying to A/B stuff (I don't have the ear for it, plus, the back of my components isn't the worst in the world, but it is not super-duper accessible either) so as opposed to going back and forth from components to p... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @mrdecibel , I actually did get two more of the Preffair power cords--at this point I have 40 hours on the PC from the SACDp and a bit over 30 hours on the other two (amp and preamp). As far as the speaker change, it has been on my list and I hav... | |
| What are the circular discs people use on components? are these really necessary? Yes. They are very necessary. Buy as many as you can afford. | |
| My new B Stock speakers Thanks, @mrdecibel , the pair I got from MD was marked down to 2900 and change (so much change they were almost 3k) but without stands. The (I think they are) Target stands I was using with my B&Ws seem to be about the right size for them. .... |
