| pink Floyd dark side of the moon mobile fidelity getting closer to vinyl There is no question that digital is easier, and I do listen to digital quite a bit as life can be pretty hectic and digital sounds good enough when multi-tasking. I'm still always amazed when I have the time, sit down, and just listen to analog t... | |
| Best Of Breed or Matching Components? There is no absolute answer. Some will favor the same manufacturer, while others will favor different manufacturers, and both sides are correct.Recently I have swung over to the same manufacturer side of the fence, but even further, by using an in... | |
| pink Floyd dark side of the moon mobile fidelity getting closer to vinyl Digital has made many great strides since the early days of the 80's/90's.That said, my analog front end still has a distinct advantage over either of my CDP's. | |

| User manuals yesterday and today as evidence to... WAT?Lawyers. We have to make sure that no one can ever accidentally do anything.Companies today have to close as many loopholes as they can, and idiot proof everything.

| Audioquest vs Analysis Plus? I will somewhat disagree with pops (sorry Jerry). I do agree that AP presents nice clarity and bottom end. I like their tonality, I would say neutral. Not too warm, but not bright either.However, in my opinion, the stage is more than just slightly... | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin I don't know how I overlooked In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. | |

| Power cord break-in tips? I usually break them in on a 20 cu ft refrigerator. It runs 24/7 and draw lots of power.The food in the fridge usually tastes better too. ;^) | |
| Do 180g vinyls sound better or is it a myth ? I don't think 180 gram vinyl sounds better than regular vinyl.However, I'm not sure that improved sound is the point. I always thought the object of the thicker vinyl was durability. The thicker vinyl is less likely to warp or lose shape than the ... | |
