| The Canadians that visit the site El Gordo, if you drive to PQ, gimme a shout. Drop by, we'll spin some tunes and have a good Canadian beer. Whatcha got lined up to buy BTW? Jeff | |
| The Canadians that visit the site Montreal, Toronto, Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Calgary, and Vancouver. Covers most of the country, just missing the Maritimes. For a country with a population hovering around 30 million people, we seem to have quite a few audiophiles, must be the incle... | |
| The Canadians that visit the site Rgd...Kirkland? C'mon, I live in Kirkland. Vendome street, one block from Emile Nelligan school. This is almost surreal! And as for snow, got 6 feet of snow on my front lawn, thank goodness it has no effect on my system. Jeff | |
| What makes a speaker thousands more... Generally speaking, more expensive gear does cost more to build. Better quality components are used, more care in assembly and test, etc..From what I understand in talking to several specialty audio customers of mine (I sell semiconductors for a l... | |
| Headphone Amp My Grado amp works nicely with my Senn 600's, and it's reasonably priced to boot! | |
| the BEST garage system you ve ever built Well, you got me beat. NAD7250PE receiver, NAD513 3-disc CDP, Denon LaserDisc player, Toshiba 20" TV, Toshiba HiFi VCR, B&W DM302 speakers, and AudioQuest ICS and Speaker cable. A mix between 2 channel audio and some video thrown in for good m... | |
| Balanced cables: newbie DIY needs help Thanks fellas. Yeah, I noticed that little tab, I figured it had some sort of purpose. Wonder why it doesn't come already attached to pin 1? Odd. The other challenge is the wire itself; the positive is obvious but it's impossible to tell which of ... | |
| What does it all mean Mr. Natural? Plenty of quality amps to choose from, tubes are real nice but the care and feeding of tube amps can add up quickly enough. Solid state designs vary, I prefer my sound a little more laid back, so warmer sounding amps do it for me. If you're intere... | |
| help me sound proof my dorm room I had the same problem at work, my music was bothering the person that shared a wall with my office. I glued 3/8" cork on the entire wall, complaints went away. Good thing, she was testy and kinda ugly too | |
| Solid state power amps.; on or off? On. Always. I've had my Classe on full time for over 4 years, no reliability problems at all. It's brutal waiting for the amp to settle in again, it literally takes days. Jeff | |
| Blind Listening Tests? There's a Canadian magazine, Ultra High Fidelity, that evaluates components by using a panel of reviewers and conducting blind tests vs. their reference system. They only change one component at a time to make sure the differences they are hearing... | |
| absolute best component you ever owned Oracle Delphi IV turntable, with SME/Oracle 345 arm. Close second is my BAT VK30 preamp | |
| Murphy s Laws for Audiophiles You'll finally reach audio nirvana, but in adjusting the final toe-in just right your behemoth speakers will tip over and kill you. | |
| Which MIT speaker cable? My dealer lent me the Transparent MusicWave BiWire 10' Spade-to-spade, on the box it's marked MWBW 10 S>S and RV10D. This is only one of two Transparent speaker cables he has, the other one has bananas. He told me he's discounting the least few... | |
| Which MIT speaker cable? My local dealer lent me the Transparent speaker cables for evaluation, so I'm trying them out now. Over the course of the several few days, once they're broken in, I should have a handle on whether the Transparent is a good match for the ML's. The... |
