| Pleasant Surprises More from Walker Audio, the Talisman and their Reference HDL's are two of my favorite 'tweaks'. Though I do have to admit that I now prefer the Quicksilver Gold to Walker's Extreme SST. | |
| The Irrational But Efficacious CD Tweak You're welcome db, I hope that you find it as helpful as I have. I've had it over a year, but still use it once a week or so. Let me know what you think.Cheers,John | |

| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Wow Foster_9, not even my wife listens to what I have to say. 8-) I must say that I am honored. Thank you for your vote of confidence. Yes, I do begrudingly admit now that the power cord has the most affect on the sound, IMHO, IMS.....though I'll ... | |
| Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact? Well Tony, I for one, agree with you. As much as it irritates me to admit it, I now believe that the power cord has the most influence on the sound, by a large margin. I fought the power cord concept for years, but after 5 years of experimenting, ... | |
| Anyone use Audiogon "Wanted" Ads Success? Good luck. I've had much success with the wanted ads years ago, when they were free. Both as a buyer and a seller. Nowadays there doesn't seem to be much use for them. Of course a blind squirrel still finds an acorn every now and then, but overall... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Yes, but that may also be because of more modern technology. Radio was far more common for Muddy Waters (not to mention John Lee Hooker (but I will)) than for Robert Johnson. If that does make him (Muddy or John Lee) more influential, then perhaps... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Grant, you responded too quickly, I didn't have time to re-address my previous post. After thinking about it, yes, Muddy was stunning, but Robert Johnson was definitely the father of the blues. I would compare the Muddy Waters- Robert Johnson rela... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Bill.....point taken about Elvis. I still think that even though he wasn't a great songwriter or actor, that he was very influential to modern day rock 'n' roll. Of course, as my wife always tells me, I'm probably wrong . :-)One more name to throw... | |
| Jena labs better or worse? I'll take a shot at this, there is no true better or worse, only different. I've owned Jena Labs Symphony and Valkyre cables and found them to be very good with the right components. They tend to lean toward the warm/sweet side of neutral, if this... | |
| Most Influential American Musician of All Time? Miles Davis, Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, Irving Berlin, George Gerswin, and Elvis Presley, in no particular order. The question itself is subjective, and therefore has to definitive answer.Cheers,John | |
| APL NWO-2.5T A Review of a Classic CD Player Thank you Puremusic for your in depth and precise review.I would love to listen to this player, as it sounds like it may one day potentially have what it takes to replace my LP's.Cheers,John | |
| How much money for your next interconnect cable??? 09-01-07: StewieWhen I can find a blind test in which listeners can distinguish $20 cables from 2k cables, I'll consider spending more than $20. If you do not preconceptionally expect to hear a difference........ you won't hear a difference.If you... | |
| tube pre suggestion 08-29-07: TvadIs this comment based on having heard an AH preamp in your system?To be honest, no I have not heard one in my system Grant. I have heard one in a friend's system though. I also have two 'cyber-friends' who swear by them. It was the l... | |
| tube pre suggestion Take a look on the Audio Horizons threads. I don't think you can beat their preamps, and you get to try them for free. They certainly seem like a great value to me, from those that I respect highly. Note: I'm currently enthralled with a ARC Ref 3 ... |
