| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. At least I made bad first impressions on zero celebrities Well, @grislybutter , if nothing else, I guess I was able to accomplish that during the days of which I was trying to party like a rock star. | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Power cords is always a fascinating subject, more so than other cables. @inna , I've found it to be at least an as polarizing issue. Big surprise, I am sure. @ghdprentice , are you going straight into the wall with your gear? | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. The best I’ve got to tell about is meeting a Lucinda Williams on four occasions, and the first time I was unfortunately coming off like Dennis Hopper in Apocalypse Now when he was going off on how great Marlon Brando was. And to my dismay, the las... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @ghdprentice , So, if the question is, will putting a lower cost one directly to the conditioner, will it act as a limiter yes, that was my question! I like your answer because the older I get the lazier I get and the place where my outlets... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks In my limited experience, power cord from the wall to power conditioner is very important.. I use PS Audio regenerator and experimented with a few power cords. Purist Audio Dominus was the best but I needed it for my amp, Purist Aquila was second... | |
| A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks Sorry, @soix , I’ll try to be clearer. My question is if you have some of upgraded power cords and instead of plugging them into the wall you plug them into a conditioner which plugs into the wall via it’s own power cord, does that then downgrade... | |
| For Tube Folks... If you want really well matched output tubes you need to burn them in for awhile and retest. They will drift around a bit when they are new. Referring to what @john_tracy typed above, the second time I retubed my V12 I went with a couple of sex... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. +1, @larsman . chrisoshea - you're the one who is on a thread called "Karen Carpenter died 42 years ago". Odd place to be if you want to whine about having a fixation on Karen Carpenter. Do you normally spend time on forum threads in which you h... | |
| What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost? Imagine that they sound about 12% better than 25K speakers To be honest, @grislybutter , I cannot even imagine what a 25k speaker must sound like. And I'll beat you to the punch, a 12.5k speaker is still beyond my comprehension. I try to make... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. With all this talk about the Royal Philharmonic, I guess I'll have to give it another listen. I bought an import of it a few years ago, and I only played it once. I cannot say it did a lot for me, but sometimes I put stuff on on the wrong night.... | |
| What does 90% of the Absolute Best Sound Cost? I guess it's all relative. I am pretty sure that if I had 50k to start a new system with I could reproduce a sound that would blow me away. But members talk about speakers that cost 50k all by themselves and I cannot even begin to imagine how go... | |
| Strange Cable Experiment I remember way back more than 30 years ago when I first started getting interseted in better gear and sound I bought an M&K subwoofer as my first "better gear" purchase and at the time M&K had a very patient and polite telephone tech guy,... | |
| HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TO SPEND ON A SYSTEM? IF YOU GET THE SOUND DOES IT MATTER? It's all relative I guess, but as long as all of one's necessities in life are not being neglected due to a financial strain that supporting your system is imposing, I guess one is okay. And I can relate to what you typed about how at one time y... | |
| Karen Carpeneter died 42 years ago. because I tried to add a comma to a different comment that I made, and then learned about the thirty minute limitation on editing. I tried to edit my mistake but it can't be done after thirty minutes. I know this @unclewilbur , this site will... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. The Madness Of King George. Apropos, no? Perhaps there will be a sequel coming set in more modern times? |
