| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms Dan, you could e-mail Gerry. I think he only has the one arm, a Graham 2.0. He states that he has three arm wands for his 2.0, already set up with different cartridges. Graham, as I'm sure you know, has interchangeable arm wands. So he is just cha... | |
| Pick your poison...2-channel or multi? When you admit to not being able to setup your surround system properly nor having it work for months, it is a bit disingenuous to blame surround sound for this issue.Edwards,I think you are reffering to the problems I had with a MSB modified PAV.... | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? I was just listening to Mellisa Ethridge's 'Like The Way I Do' last night and thinking 'damn, that would really be sexy.....if she was singing it to a man'. :(So that's out.I guess I'll say either I Touch Myself by The Divinyls or Let Me Put My Lo... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? 11-13-06: D_edwards"I'm all for surround in my HT system, it's great with movies. It's just not for music."Explain the difference?Seems that struck a nerve, so I'll explain. I do find that surround sound helps to place me in the movie scene better... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? If surround was not more convincing than stereo, then big movie theatres would never have adopted these expensive systems...Shadorne (System | Reviews | Threads | Answers)I'm all for surround in my HT system, it's great with movies. It's just not ... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Too me two channel is a joke, fact.D_edwards (System | Answers)To me multi-channel is a joke, fact.Been there done that. I went through the multi-channel phase several years ago, didn't like it. It doesn't properly represent a live orchestra. It f... | |
| New Vinyl Defects Note to jmcgrogan2, IME "pops and clicks" are usually the sign of biological contaminants. These are especially likely on older records and RRL will not remove them. Try Vinyl-Zyme. Thanks Doug, I will have to try that.John | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? I just perused all of D_Edwards 'digital answers' and found no facts, simply published opinions. Seems the meat and potatoes are simply a cardboard photo.So again I ask....what is the point of this meaningless excersize in futility?Surely they mus... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? 11-11-06: Cdwallace"Unfortunately, according to this thread and many of its analog contributors, its a matter of opinion. Its what makes analog, analog. Facts are just secondary."For the record - to keep the statement in proper context, its unfort... | |
| Power Cord suggestions Well the two best p/c's that I've heard in my system are the Virtual Dynamics Revelation and the Purist Audio Designs Dominus.The Dominus offers a bit more midrange palpability, while the Revelation offer a bit more dynamic's.John | |
| Power Cord suggestions You may find this thread of some interest, Power Cord Flavors.It will give you some reference to start with. It would help if we knew what you were trying to accomplish, since there is no cord that does it all. Are you looking for more transparenc... | |
| New Vinyl Defects I would say it is very unusual for 50% defective rate. I've purchased roughly 40 new LP's in the last year and have had 1 defective one. The rest all sound terrific. I have a VPI 16.5 and use RRL cleaning fluids, and I don't know how you others cl... | |
| High end turntables Why? 2 tonearms I am a single arm/single 'table guy, mostly due to finances.I'd love to play with a 'table that had multiple arm options.I visited an audiophile once who had a 4 armed Micro Seiki table. He had 4 different arms, with 4 different cartridges and 4 d... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Such an emotive subject. An old versus a new approach. I catch myself sometimes saying to the kids, "Well, in my day, things were much better..." but things do move on, and the kids just roll their eyes...VHS versus DVD. Carburetors versus electro... | |
