| Electrical fields Maybe he's got a thing about the bunny commercials?(Just kidding TWL, whoever you might be). | |
| Electrical fields Hmmm, I wonder if it would be possible to build a steam powered stereo & move to a remote part of Montana?Happy listening all! | |
| Electrical fields You should be good to go at 2', particularly if the cabinent of your breaker box is made from steel. If you want more shielding, any steel that a magnet sticks to will work.With industrial equipment, you sometimes see conductors or busswork carryi... | |
| Suddenly, things are sounding awful... Ditto on the give it some play time. Don't know why but one or two of my components get that tizzy not burned in sound if left dormant too long. | |
| want to try a SET but where to start, I have...... Fwiw, you really need to hear a few SET amps & see if the midrange magic outweighs the mushy bass and loss of dynamics, to your ear and with your type of music.Some folks love them and why some folks would'nt be happy with them. As mentioned a... | |
| Should this forum have a warning label? Tvad - good question, maybe something simple just to help out the newbie. "Forum discussions may be intentionally or unintentionally biased by the financial interests of Audiogon or some of its members".The wordsmithing could use help, but somethi... | |
| Dynavector or Grado ? Theauqaman / tpsonic.You've reminded me of the macro issue. This I think is an interesting and useful forum, but it is biased by the folks who profit from the sale of all things audiophile (moderators) & if you are hunting for Trolls it is pro... | |
| Dynavector or Grado ? With a JMW10/Aries combo, the DV20XH was an excellent cartridge for rock and roll, actually I thought it was excellent period. Tain't heard the grado. I replaced it with a Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood (yeck)and then a Shelter 901 and the a Lyra Helico... | |
| A "bit" of information The party line from Musical Fidelity (per a dac review in stereophile) is that all transports are the same if your DAC reclocks the bitstream.My belief is that all digital cables also sound the same if your DAC reclocks (and very likely even if it... | |
| Shunyata taipan or Python, for BAT? I tried a Taipan on BATs VK300XSE & then on some front end components. I never found the Taipan to be an improvement over a stock cord and when I could detect a difference it seemed to add an edge (increase listening fatigue) to the high frequ... | |
| Does sound travel better at night? You are very likely more deaf at night (people consistently do better in hearing tests given prior to confronting noisy traffic, noisy work environments, etc.).FWIW. | |
| Is the Jolida jd 100 as good as the dealers claim? At the moment I'm listening to Neil Youngs "Unplugged" on an almost box stock Njoe Tjoeb (850.00 ish, I changed tubes) that I bought 6 weeks or so back. It's another good tubed cd option worth looking into, imho. | |
| Reversing Polarity -- Voodoo or Easy Tweak? Some manufacturers (Bat for example) allow you to easily swap absolute phase with the remote & others (Hagerman for example) give you manual switches to play with.My take from playing with a BAT integrated I owned was that on most recordings k... | |
| Why is it so much more civil over here on Agon? Threads on both forums are prone to take off on sarcastic tangents now and then. Sometimes they are a lot of fun to read.The key is to remember that it is not worthwhile to get upset when a jest strikes you wrong. IMHO.Either that or just don't po... | |
| Amp for Dynaudio Special 25 I like the Rogue Zeus / Magnum 99 amp combination on my Confidence 3's. From the thread Goatwuss referenced, I think some of the reports of 'flabby bass' with tube power and Dyn's is more about not enough power than about tubes. They prefer to be ... |
