| What's up with that? Swampwalker has pretty much nailed it. I wonder if they will be smart enough to charge an annual fee that will let members have that feature back again. They charge a fee for their Bluebook service, maybe if I send them $50 a year I can have e-mai... | |
| Rega P7 vs TecnoDec with TechnoArm or ? I believe the Rega P7 has been discontinued, at least that's what my dealer told me. I do see that Music Direct is selling some "B" stock P7 models. I have no experience with the Michell TechnoDec. Have you ruled out a VPI? They have a Classic 1 o... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Yup, no more persoanl contact with members. All contact has to be publically displayed....it sucks, but that's the way it is now. | |
| B&K Reference 30 issue Well, it sounds like it needs to be serviced. I'd contact B&K and see what they have to say. It can't hurt to give them a call.Good Luck,John | |
| Pass vs McCormack? Jim, as you noted in your OP, you really don't see these two brands compared in the archives. Swampwalker and I told you why. It's hard enough to find any Pass vs. Mccormack head to head comparison, and now you want to compare modified McCormack t... | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage Sabai, wow, you basically hijacked Etmerritt33's thread over a couple hundred dollar tweak? Maybe next time you should just start your own thread. I mean I feel bad for anyone who gets screwed, but that's life, it happens to buyers and sellers. If... | |
| Conversion of mV to dB Thanks for chiming in here Al, I was waiting for you to help us out. I don't really understand it that much myself, but Mehran, of Sorasound, who distributes ZYX cartridges which are rated at 3.54 cm/s is the one who explained to me about the outp... | |
| Why aren't current country albums on vinyl Don't audiophiles like country music?Nope. Country music fans drink too much and break all their stylus', so now they just listen to dem dare new-fangled ceedee's. | |
| Pass vs McCormack? Well you probably don't see comparisons of these two brands because they are in different leagues price wise. Sonically I think they are both nice, musical solid state amps. However, the Pass amps tend to cost a LOT more than the McCormack amps. T... | |
| Krell versus Pass Labs Rob, I've always preffered Nelson Pass' work over Krell designs, even during Pass' Threshold years. | |
| Tube Pre amp noise I've noticed that tube preamps are also more sensitive to grounding issues and interconnect mechanical issues than solid state preamps. So you may try using a cheater plug on the preamps power cord to determine if you have a grounding issue and ma... | |
| Conversion of mV to dB Jeffreybehr, as far as I know, it has to do with which test record the cartridge was measured on, JVC (3.54 cm/s) or CBS (5.0 cm/s). I don't know about the mono versus stereo numbers. I do know that you can translate between the two numbers by usi... | |
| How diverse is your musical taste? Well I suppose that I'm not as diverse as many here. I can't listen to Country or Rap at all....and I can take very little Opera or Gospel. Outside of that, I'm pretty flexible with Rock, Folk, Jazz, Blues, Classical, New Age, etc. | |
| B&K Reference 30 issue Doug, did you try to unplug it for a few minutes and plug it back in? That may re-boot the internal computer. | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Scott, I think you should change your last name to Whineberg. If you don't care for the thread, simply leave.....and don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out. |
