| Best tweak I like it, Subaru. | |
| Music that You Have JUST BOUGHT, and can Sounds like a good one (called "Essence", right?). I just saw her (and Kasey Chambers) last week, and her new tunes (as well as her old) sounded great. Terrific song writer. She must be doing pretty well; she's traveling with some really fine, ver... | |
| Linn CD Player Tweaks I've tried several kinds of things under my Linn Karik III and settled on a Neuance shelf. I thought it delivered the best tonal balance and most coherent sound... also better pace and rhythm than cones, which surprised me for some reason. I still... | |
| Looking for a burner ??? Mikie, I understand the info you posted, except for how you get the first letter of so many of your words capitalized. Specifically what I want to know is -- let me use an example: Suppose I burn a CD-R with a track from Lucinda William's Car Whee... | |
| Looking for a burner ??? I wonder how the analog recording quality on these new consumer units is (he asks rhetorically)? Could someone give me this basic info on SCMS: Does it only prevent you from dubbing copies of a copy of a whole CD, or does it also prevent you from ... | |
| Best tweak Ernie, I suppose you leave them on all the time? I have thought about hanging an amp under the living room floor, but I would be partial to rigging it so I could turn it off without running down to the basement. Thanks for the description of your ... | |
| racks and shelves Jdwek, the Neuance shelf will sit on upturned spikes all on its own. Yet, I have heard that an African swallow perched on each corner helps to eke out the last scintilla of hifi performance from this fine shelf. Neuance is at www.neuanceaudio.com;... | |
| CD recorder advice sought Musicdoc -- wow, are you replacing your CDP with the Marantz CDR 500 for regular CD listening? Could you describe the sonic differences between the two? (I've got a Karik, but still would be interested in what you heard.) Also, how do you like the... | |
| Frequency ranges Thanks very much for the help, folks. Doclb, that's a great chart at the psb site. | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Detlof, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that the two votes came from elsewhere. This actually points to why I think Agon's proposed policy of not letting individuals who post to threads vote on those same threads has value, even though it seems t... | |
| How do people dust their systems? I looked at the tag on my 3M cloth. It's a ScotchBrite brand "High Performance" cloth. I think that says it all. I daresay my rag would blow away, no, let's make that, wipe the floor with all other dusting tools. I may try to add the word "Audio" ... | |
| How do people dust their systems? There are some new hi-tech cloths (one I have is made by 3M) that pick up and hold dust very, very well. They (supposedly) hold dust in the interior of the weave so you're not rubbing the dust onto the surface you're dusting. They're used dry and ... | |
| Cones/Bearings for CD player Good point, Sam. I liked the N-shelf under my CDP and would have tried 3rd party footers/cones with it, but I was simply tired of the fussing, and simplicity became a very attractive value to me. The shelf is not under my CDP now but under my TT. ... | |
| Cones/Bearings for CD player Wait till you're feeling lucky before you make a decision, 'cause it's kind of a crap shoot. Agree with Sam above -- lot of products shift tonal response, but you might find one that complements your system. I can see how bearing supports give you... | |
| Music to make you laugh by I'll nominate Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band. Lyrics aside, the music is eclectic, unconventional and downright loopy -- it's got the elements of surprise and delight that make me laught. At the same time, they're a tough-minded rock band wh... |
