| CD Tweaks: An Update @roxy54 I agree with you, and I am staying clear of this tweak. (Although, haha, back in the day, I had no problem using the green pen on every single CD I owned at the time.) And I also don't think that washing a CD with a mild soap should le... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Wow, thanks for all the input, everybody! I need to sit back & digest it. @harpo75 I actually did get this unit with The Ultimate Upgrade installed. As far as the two balance controls, I have kept them maxed out for normal listening and ... | |
| CD Tweaks: An Update I think I remember reading in the literature that came with one of the SACDs that I bought NOT to use cleaners to clean it (and for the life of me I cannot remember if they specified any certain type of cleaner). If one of my red books starts hicc... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Thank you again to all that have offered me input on this. @twoleftears for the moment I will single out your reply as I can answer these questions with concrete answers: There are two issues here, does the volume pot have an optimal operation... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @avanti1960 again, I want to stress that I am not disagreeing or seeking an argument. Only seeking clarification on this subject. So if I use the left & right "input level" pots to control my volume, is that a better thing than using the b... | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) Thank you all for taking the time to respond & to educate me. (And OOPS! I was wrong about the price of the Rothwells--$109 = about $10 shipping.) | |
| "Too much gain"? (Cary SLP05 question) @voodoolounge this is strictly a question, not a question looking for an argument. Why is a lot of gain necessarily bad? Does having more "real estate" (as I have hear it referred to) to utilize on the volume knob improve the sonic quality? | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? LOL! @viridian as long as it takes the edge off! | |
| High quality CDs And once more (because my brain is working slow this afternoon) referring to what @stuartk typed: yes: definitely do a search on Music Direct’s site. Just type in SACD for your search engine and start scrolling through the pages. I have done that ... | |
| High quality CDs @rman9 what @stuartk said related to the MFSL hybrid SACDs. I actually started listening to them (the red book layer) before I bought my SACD player, and some of them just blew me away due to the sonic quality (not just because I like the ... | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? Yes, while listening to the complete Panera catalog I often need a few glasses of wine to take the edge off of the meth. LOL! @viridian how does that work out for you? | |
| High quality CDs I am not really a fan of classical but I am finding the crop of MFSL hybrids to sound fantastic; unfortunately, I did a search on ebay for MFSL classical SACD and came up empty handed. However, MFSL does have some classical red book issues out th... | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? I remember a long time ago tomato juice and beer was sort of popular; I remember it being referred to as a "Montana Mary." I don't think it tasted anything like a dry sherry, though. | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? @rooze @jond @rooze did you really make tomato wine? The mind truly boggles man. 😋 LOL! That reminds of of this guy I worked with for a couple of years in Saudi Arabia. There was a lot of homemade booze and almost everyone made their own ... | |
| Wine, audio, and music. How many of us Aphiles enjoy wine when listening to music? @randy-11 I take it that you are now hitting the harder stuff? |
