| Cleaning & polishing premium-grade speakers Sirspeedy saidas wood ages,it tends to dry out,and can change it'e propertiesNot quite. Wood (we're not talking about green wood, here) reaches an equilibrium with its environment. Furniture wood in someone's home in Seattle will have higher moist... | |
| Spks. wood veneer is drying out. (long answer...) The answer depends on what kind of finish Snell put on the speakers to begin with. Most "furniture" produced today is finished in a way that seals the wood quite effectively, and replenishing the finish is usually not an issue. Th... | |
| Linn Majik owners.... Yes, like Eldragon said. Majik will just about double up the watts output at 4 ohms. The connectors are BFA, designed for European Union safety standards. Linn and Arcam (& other British brands) dealers should have them. But rolled banana plug... | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? Pretenders, playing Middle Of The Road, or My City Was Gone. | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll John Wesley Harding. 1967! Since then, even aside from Nashville Skyline, Dylan's done a lot of country rock. Hard to call him a pioneer, though, 'cause noone can really follow him. | |
| Please define I associate listener fatigue with distortion. It's obvious that if you're listening to a system that is relatively harsh, edgy or shrill, your ears soon will find it unpleasant. But frequency imbalances that are not nearly as noticeable in the sho... | |
| What is purpose of a cd transport? Does the apple airport express provide a quick enough & accurate digital signal for DAC purposes?In my system, it certainly sounds like it does. For a published, numbers-based opinion, go to Stereophile's website and search on Airport Express... | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? I figured I would be the first to mention B. J. Wilson, but Jaybo, you beat me to it. Right at the top, from the rock genre, in terms of using the drums for dramatic color. I'm glad someone stuck up for Ringo. I think he was an excellent drummer, ... | |
| CDP W/ Digital input I'm guessing it won't be hard to eclipse the KarikI don't know if it will be _that_ easy. Probably the Resolution Audio will do that, but don't dismiss your trusty Karik too quickly. I like my Karik more than my Quad CDP99 (I doubt if the new vers... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz, I posted my last post before your last showed up. Yes, you can select among one analog and two digital inputs with the Behringer. You can do it by using the I/O switch, or as I do, by programming different presets that differ only by input ... | |
| Behringer DEQ2496 HELP Ecruz, I would move it upstream. But as far as "I don't want to mess with the amazing sound from my Sony/TRL 900," as Kenn and El have pointed out, you already have messed with it by interposing the Behringer in the chain. There is no way around t... | |
| Happy Lunar New Year Trelja, I won't be making it this year; I'm in the Midwest. I'm a Phillies fan by birth, but I'm just an occasional visitor to the East Coast these days. It sounds like you can't go wrong by just being there in Chinatown and improvising--that's go... | |
| Musical? I just did a search of the phrase "most musical" on Agon threads, and from that I conclude that "most musical" means nothing more than "best sounding." But I also think Cdc's comment about whether it's the forest or the trees puts well what "music... | |
| Happy Lunar New Year Yes, indeed. Happy New Year! Say, does anyone know how an out-of-towner should do Chinese New Year in New York City as a weekend visit? Please drop me a line. Maybe next year I'll take my wife and son, but given the expense, I'd like some inside t... | |
| Bananas Vs Spades??? Gmood1, if you thought I was arguing your point, I think you're a little jumpy. Actually, I didn't understand your comment about how bare wire "goes against audiophile thinking." From the posts in this thread so far, it's pretty clear that bare wi... |
