Canadian LP pressing, how good?
So I got this Canadian original pressing of the Bitches Brew. Well, I had to send it back because the records were not in good enough condition, but I listened to them. I prefer original American version because Miles's trumpet sounds more alive, ...

melbguy, it is not for you to judge me. Know your place. 
Building a new 2 channel system and need help
melbguy1, whether it is in Australia or in the US or Denmark it is always the same. One day they might make it sound great but not yet.We'll just not go into this any further, this is not really thread on digital, I just said it in passing since t...

' looking wrong way through the telescope '. Well put and right to the point. You do need to greatly improve the source. And digital does sound bright. 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
It's the same as with instruments. I heard various concert pianos and guitars but really liked only a few. The best guitar I have ever heard was the one played by Paco de Lucia, not to mention that he played spectacularly. If there is a science be...

I would probably have no other place but kitchen to put such a machine in and run the cables to the living room, which would be no problem. This is not at all silly, this is striving for the best. I wish more people were like that. 
Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer
And I think Jeff Rowland used to recommend Cardas power cords for his amps, don't know how he is doing now about this.The reason is very clear, bdp24, they are all trying to bullsh-t us and possibly themselves, there is nothing 'honest' about what... 
Have you ever spoken with a designer or audio engineer
Here's another troll coming. Some of the designers of so-called hi-end gear have no idea how things should sound. And I couldn't care less about either their thoughts on the subject or even less than that about their feelings. Audiogon is full of ... 
A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck?
dhl93449, I think you got lost in Audiogon wilderness and chose a wrong thread to paticipate in.As for archiving, vinyl could and theoretically should be better, though tape will last for decades. And in 200 years all of that will probably be gone... 
Apartment Drama
david99, I am sorry to hear it. I understand, you cannot really move. People are different. I used to have a neighbour below who was a nice man playing bass guitar from time to time. When he was doing it more than, say, two hours straight, I knock... 
A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck?
If you think about it this way - perfect Studer for the price of phono cartridge ! Not to mention Otari and Pioneer.Ampex, was it an American company? Is it equal to Studer? Do they sound different? 
How important are speaker cables to the sound emanating from the speakers?
Getting rid of the binding posts and wiring directly is an interesting idea. Next step would be getting the crossover out of the cabinets. That's what Michael Green did with his top of the line Chameleon speakers, other Chameleons had usual arrang...

Half inch two track at 30ips must be spectacular, depending on the recording of course. This certainly should make vinyl obsolete. 
A New Reel to Reel Tape Deck?
So he wants $5k for a refurbished Technics. If you are patient you could find Studer 810 for $4k, add $2-$3k to make it perfect. And Otari would be much less expensive. I would see no reason to get anything other than these two within this price r... 
What the *#$@ happened??
Yeah, let's not get into the woods too far.Cocobolo, which is rosewood species, and Brazilian rosewood could theoretically work in some applications. There is much more to woods than density. No-one makes guitars or violins from ebony or ironwood,...
