| Recommendation for tube preamp I am going to go out on a limb and guess that every one is going to tell you to buy the same kind of preamp that they own. | |
| ??? 220v Audiophile Grade Ground Lifting Plug??? I have a vague recollection from back in the early '80s, of when I was stationed in the RPI, of plugging my strobe light into an outlet in an off base apartment I was living in, and smoking my strobe light. As I remember, it sure looked like a 1... | |
| Album(s) That Took The Longest To Come Around To A different post in this forum ('music') made me think of a couple: right after I read the review in Stereophile of Steve Earle's '97 releases, Train A Coming and I Feel Alright, I went out and bought them. It actually took me a while to start l... | |
| Oldies that stick in your head... (More than one) different oldies at different times seem to occupy my head space. Lately I have been substituting one of the nicknames I use for one of my dogs for the word "Dixie" in "the Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." I’ve been doing the sam... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @stuartk , this was an interesting read. I am happy for you that you resolved the issue. It’s interesting, because I’ve read other posts in other threads by listeners who found squares of concrete as a satisfactory way of elevating their tweeter h... | |
| A nice tribute to my favorite living musician, the last man standing. Yes, it was a fantastic show. Buddy played an hour of his songs with Emmylou and Regina McCrary joining in. Just guitar, cello, and upright bass. Steve was in top form and did about an hour solo, before bringing Emmylou, his sister Stacy, Lucin... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room @deep_333 , reading your posts is probably the same as what cutting one’s self is like. There is nothing to be gained or any other redeeming value to it, but I do it anyway without really knowing why. | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room Could you explain how a very tiny room such as your car's cabin just seems to never get "overloaded", Maybe because he isn't running Von Schweikerts for his car audio? | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets It's like a lot of things--it depends upon what you have in it and what you want to get out of it. | |
| Is "detailed" audiophile code for too much treble? I’ve found a number of audio components that managed to be very detailed (ie, resolving) without being bright or edgy..But it took years of looking. Components like that are unicorns. What, pray tell, were the magic unicorn components that you ... | |
| High end bookshelf speakers for Small room @tshark ...this very straightforward sentence has been very hard for many audiogoldenears to comprehend forever (later on, some lil weeny bookshelf on a rickety lil stand will defy all physics and do them some kinda miracle, apparently). The cabl... | |
| Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets Some of these house wiring YouTube videos are lethal. Literally. Just saying :) @devinplombier , I am sure that they could be. I just was not comfortable with the instructions in the book I bought. I actually watched a few youtubes and the on... | |
| Biwiring make any sense? I saw your link, @84xfirez-51 , and that was what I based my reply on. I am pretty sure I understand what you reconfigured your biwire to. | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? @feldmen4 , I was totally unaware of Sharon. I guess I'll have to order a copy. I discovered the Junkies rather late (right after Natural Born Killers came out on VHS) and then I bought everything I could find by the CJ. Which at that time end... | |
| Is Recording quality the real culprit? I have some recordings that were made using just one, stereo microphone that sound fantastic. @curiousjim , I can think of at least a couple also. Without going back and looking for others, the two I am thinking of are the Cowboy Junkies firs... |
