| Must -have SACD's I just received Mike Oldfield "Tubular bells", very fun. I think this music was composed by Mike 30 years to soon, clearly SACD on a Hi-fi system is what he had in mind.I also picked up Monks' "straight no chaser" very clean, low tape noise, great... | |
| Hydra or R.Gray 1200 S or PS-600 ?? Rademaker, I'm not aware of anyone whos tried all three to date. The folks who have ordered the Hydra haven't gotten them in long enough to pass judgement (I think) I would talk to Stuart at A Sanctuary of Sound, the guy is honest and helpfull, se... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? BMI and Dunlavy, best. Wow these are class, Brian called me one day and we chatted. He clearly didn't need to take his Sunday afternoon for me. The guy is great and I concider him a friend. John Dunlavy spent half an hour on the phone with me on a... | |
| New SACD Players Announced I just received a copy of Mike Oldfields' Tubular Bells. Really amazing sound! This disk along with the DMP lable have the multi channel information on them. I personally don't use my system for vidio, so I don't for see the need for me, but in th... | |
| cable length I agree with Elizabeth, get the very best you can afford. I would also suggest keep the speaker cables as short as you can get by with. Power cords, again they are by the foot cost, so that must be concidered. If you agree with that power cords ca... | |
| Solid state power amps.; on or off? Elizabeth, your on botton got stuck! Best way to resolve this problem ..... | |
| Solid state power amps.; on or off? Yea Craig, if you ever have a chance to pick up a Proton, they are ausume. Best piture tube made (Hattachi). I got mine at a close out dealer for 70% off and it was still over $1000, but that was the first and only issue I've had. Now it just need... | |
| A Tombstone in the Living room???? O.K. Joe, I'll bite. You state,"Using their unique understanding of resonance and how it effects all components, including loudspeakers, made logical sense to me. They stated that permitting resonance to form on equipment then immediately directin... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Sorry Detlof, humor is not allowed on any Audiogon thread. I've now led you down the wrong path. I've got a -3,-1 for my humor and only a +2,+2 for what I thought was a good discription of blind testing. Oh well, rather the meek have the chance to... | |
| Solid state power amps.; on or off? I leave my amp on all the time. A side story to illistrate the issue is with my Proton T.V. It's about 13 years old now and is used by our whole family, this means it goes on and off many times a day. Each time it's turned on the solder and electr... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Hey Detlof, can I tell my wife you recommended I invite a few women over each week-end? Is there an age I should look for? J.D. | |
| Burn In = Voodoo? Of course it has no bearing on anything J_k. You know we're just sitting here waiting for one tinny screw up and BAMM! Got-cha. The only reason it even registered was that your idea was shared on a different post of mine. Same story and I wrote ba... | |
| Blind Listening Tests? Don, I'm not sure anyone here doubts the merits of a blind test. I think what your referring to must be those threads that the subject is so easy to hear that anyone who would suggest a blind test must have no idea what there talking about. That s... | |

| DIY Room Acoustics Tom I would be willing to concider anything I guess. Two of my major concern points are 1) the side wall with the large window and 2) the front wall behind the speakers. Those have the greatest aesthetic inpact. The rear wall, behind me if tough o... |
