| What is the test of time? Yet I am sure there are still many people who love the old Captain and Tenille recordings, and if you put all their fans together, you'd probably have a surprisingly large crowd.That's a very scary thought! What if the same crowd all broke out int... | |
| What is the test of time? Side note: Devo is touring and playing huge venues this summer. I know, I was surprised too. Cult classics.blockquote>I heard just today that that entire tour had been canceled. No explanation given. Regardless, as much as I got a kick out of t... | |
| Damping Top of CDP Jax2 what do you recommend as acoustic room treatment I wonder....I use small children and house pets. If you live in a 'family-oriented' neighborhood like me, they can frequently be found wandering the streets, and/or on their way to or from scho... | |
| what made you get into high end gear. Hey, that pic is gone! I guess AA took it down. Damn!Wouldn't want to deprive all you devoted audiophiles the view of such a fine pair of horns just because AA is so up tight about it.Marco | |
| what made you get into high end gear. All the gorgeous babes! Marco | |
| Damping Top of CDP I'd try a side of beef wrapped in butcher's paper. Fleshes out all the inner detail you can handle. In a month's time you'll have a kinetic audio sculpture, and the movement of the maggots will act to stabilize those nasty vibrations even further ... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Somebody really needs to learn the difference between "then" and "than". At least they included the "h" in "shill".ItalianBiira- where the heck did you come from with your pretty birds and business advice? That's a valuable lesson you taught throu... | |
| Clicking noise with M-Audio Audiophile USB Did you mean the USB cable is 10-12 feet? If so, I believe that may be approaching the limitations of the USB connection which is about 16 feet as I recall. You can use a repeater after that, but the first thing I'd try is a shorter cable. As Arni... | |
| Top Ten Electronic/alternative Albums I'm surprised with all the input on this thread that no one has mentioned Sigur Ross, "( )" - perhaps more New Age, but certainly in the Electronica category as well. Excellent album from this Icelandic band...very calming.Marco | |
| Silver speaker cable question IMO two strands is not enough Howard. Before you give up on it, I would add an additional 6 strands per connection (8 strands each) of the same silver wire and see if it makes a difference. I have wires constructed that way and they are wonderful ... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Maybe the new speakers need more power than the DK amp. Seems reasonable.The DK is 150wpc into 8ohms. The Pass Labs is 350wpc into 8 ohms. That's about a 4-5db difference in headroom. I guess if the speakers are difficult to drive that may make so... | |
| Harbeths and Tube Amps I recently listened at length to my friends Harbeth C7's using a modified Cary SLM70 (50 watts in triode and 70 watts in pentode). In his moderately sized rooms with high ceilings this seemed enough tube power to me (in either mode). They are of t... | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow If you doubt that just look at our square wave output on the Austrailian Hifi magazine. Our Square wave is really perfect at the 1Khz output. Not even the vaunted Halcro can do this, at multiples of this price.Larry - Measurements speak only a sma... | |
| Rachmaninov for beginners Find a copy of Earl Wild playing Rachmaninov Piano CTO # 2.Damn, that reminds me, I had the Chesky LP version of Wild doing the Rock 2. Sold it with all my other LP's. I do remember liking that recording, but it's been many years since listening t... | |
| Rachmaninov for beginners Yep, the Saint Saens is a real roller coaster ride from dramatic to whimsical. I can understand that you don't like the drastic changes. Never bothered me (obviously). Thanks Newbee; I'll look for that other piano roll CD. Yes, it was the 'sonics'... |
