| New Years Resolutions Man, there's an awful lot of apologizing going on here. I feel some tears welling up...like when someone told me about Ol' Yeller right here on the Gon'! Great thread, started with good intentions, and I really don't think anyone doubts that. Than... | |
| Archiving CDs I've been using Toast on my Macintosh which has an option called "Disk Copy". You need two CD drives to use it, but it seems to work very well, and has never been blocked by copyright protection. It supposedly makes an exact duplicate of the disk ... | |
| Eye-brain effect I agree that your eyes do work together in conjunction with the rest of your senses. Just like when they 'see' a carrot they would expect it to 'taste' a certain way. In turn they are absolutely not necessary to enhance or detract from any one of ... | |
| Best Soundtracks BarakaAida (Madredeus)Before the Rain (Balkan/Macedonian music)All three are great films as well!(see also other threads in the archives for more)Marco | |
| New Years Resolutions Now you're getting the idea Newbee. But you've got to throw in a few real personal jabs to get things really going. I liked the audio left hook you threw in there. Oh yes, I see much promise here!Marco (OK, there's that extra 20 lbs or so that I'v... | |
| New Years Resolutions Damn, and I was looking forward to some good juicy bloodbath's here on the Gon'. Does this mean you're disbanding the Audiogon division of "Fight Club"? What's going to happen to my bookmaking business without you Sean? Think of all the money we w... | |
| Got money in the bank. Please help I could think of plenty of ways to use your money. In fact, I could use it right away to pay my rent. Send it to me! That should take care of your dillema!Marco | |
| I need tube info Jon at The Tube Store would be my recommendation. There is also Kevin Deal at Upscale Audio, as well as Andy at Vintage Tube. Both have a good reputation, but I have no direct experience with them to speak of. I can tell you I've been very pleased... | |
| I need tube info That is a Russian version of one of the most common miniature 9-pin tubes used in preamp applications. The best versions of that are widely considered to be the NOS German tubes made by Siemens and Telefunken. Those NOS versions are also frequentl... | |
| New to tubes Sorry I couldn't chime in again last night Satch. I went to bed with a hangover...not because of your questions though. That may explain all the additional copies of my post! Yes, I'd concur; tube pre with class A SS can be a nice combo when done ... | |
| Agon Members at CES That's one of the reasons I'm so broke Albert; I'm still paying you off from last years pictures!!!! Never go for the installment plan Dean...just the lump sum. That compounded interest will kill ya' every time! Marco | |
| New to tubes Nah, no stress here. Just a funky connection to the internet or bad browser. I cleaned up the mess before you replied (phew). It was hangin' up on me and I didn't think it posted after five minutes. Yeah, you have ECC88's which are the same as 692... | |
| New to tubes A pre-amp with KT-88's?! Are you sure about that? Those ain't no preamp tubes my friend! Usually when preamp tubes get old and weary you'll start to hear some weird noises coming from your system in the form of pops, cracklin' and scratchy kinds o... | |
| Agon Members at CES I'll be the one with the broom stick handle sticking out of my butt! I guess I could wear a green dot too...is it one of those special 'tuning dots' Peter? Actually I don't think I can make it as money is tight..wish things were different as I'd l... | |
| Discs you play again and again "Le Pas du Chat Noir", Anouar Brahem / Soothing, melodic, hypnotic...very beautiful music."El Cant De La Sibil-La", Montserrat Figueras & Jordi Savall in La Capella Reial De Catlunya / An astounding recording on the Alia Vox label - Figueras h... |
