| Where do you find new music? On a more thoughtful note of response; My sources vary widely and include some of those listed above. I'd add to the list some very good friends who are constantly on the prowl for good music. A'gon forums too. Another good resource I've found, be... | |
| Where do you find new music? Elevators, shopping malls, and my dentist's office.MarcoPS Good thread! | |
| Can anyone tell me what happened? Sounds like the Pepsi Syndrome! Was anyone drinking a soft drink near the gear recently?Seriously, sorry to hear about this...it must have been scary and frustrating, and I'm sure it remains so. I'd agree with Herman, most certainly some damage wa... | |
| My woofer won't stop barking... Two words go right to the heart of your problem: Obedience Class! Marco | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver Ever since I put this BAT into the system, I feel it. now is it the tubes or the BAT???It's probably the heroin. Specs is what specs does. Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you should look at specs as a guideline for your purchases. But regardless, in ... | |
| Which companies also offer good service?? I think if you search the archives you'll find more input on this subject. I'll echo my previous posts to this effect: Mike Sanders of Quicksilver offers customer service as rock solid as his products. I doubt you'll ever have to use it, but if yo... | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver Good suggestion Justin - Keep in mind, not only in considering his suggestion, but in considering any of your alternatives, and someone correct me here if I'm wrong, but doubling your power is only going to give you an additional 3db. You said in ... | |
| Best Efficient versatile Speaker reaching 30Hz? Klipsch K-horn is quite possibly the loudest speaker on earthI do like the K-horns when paired off with the right amp, and at 104db they are mighty efficient. They will not, however reach down much below 30hz in my experience. Tight bass is not th... | |
| Best Efficient versatile Speaker reaching 30Hz? I believe Soliloquy 6.3i and 6.5is would both fit the bill and not break the bank. Unfortunately I don't know the status of the company, but there are usually a few used ones at reasonable prices. I have their 5.3's that don't quite make your cut,... | |
| grado reference statement hum Had the same experience with Grado's when I used them many years ago. I guess they still choose to not include shielding. I believe lead creates a good shield, but is obviously heavy. I wonder if you could address the shielding at the platter and ... | |
| Which DAC for computer based system? Backup of a collection like that is essential. Hard drives can and do fail. My friend just had his Lacie with 100gb of music fail on him in the first two weeks of owning it. To recover the data would cost more than the drive did. It was a Lacie 25... | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver Hey Peter - I do know Mike did a bunch of experimenting and built several prototypes of different designs in Triode form back in the late 90's I think it was. That EL34 amp I had of his was one of those triode prototypes from that period and of co... | |
| Are most DAC's compatible w computers? Ckorody - Thanks for your point of view. Don't get me wrong, I was certainly not recommending (or discouraging) that anyone go out and spend $14K on a USB DAC. I'm not sure where you are getting that price. The two USB DAC's Wavelength offers are ... | |
| BAT vs. Quicksilver You may also want to consider the Quicksilver Triode, a much less publicized unit which Sanders doesn't even have up on his website and sells by word of mouth. It uses the same 6C33C tubes as the BAT and is built on a similar chasis as the V4 (but... | |
| will HDCD copy when cloned? Dmitrydr - All the HDCD's I have burned to a standard CD-R as well as those same files burned to my hard drive DO activate the HDCD indicator on my DAC which otherwise remains dimmed if streaming 16-bit data. I've been told also that XRCD's can be... |
