| What are you thankful for? I am thankful for my new gas-fired JOTUL stove. The power just failed here due to snow. | |
| Words from the Wise -Part 2 I would take a good listen to the recordings I intend to use for review purposes on my existing system before I swap in anything new, or go out to listen to other systems. However, Viridian's 5 points are well taken. | |
| Amp / Cable / Speaker interaction....why? Physics or perception?First case: Ribbon cables like Magnan Signature and Nordost Valhalla are very popular with electrostats. The argument is that they minimize skin effect and, therefore, maintain signal coherence more effectively. The attribute... | |
| How can an active preamp possibly help? Twl, Your post is an important reminder that it is possible to oversimplify with rules of thumb. The "short signal path is best" argument has been made in many posts without considering the signal in context. Many here have sold their preamps only... | |
| Tickled Pink. Make that Aquamarine Thanks Twl, Thought this thread might go down without a comment. | |
| Words from the Wise -Part 2 1. Do not listen to components as isolated units. Learn what combinations work well together and why. Great plant combinations, not great plants make the truly unforgettable garden.2. Remember that there is no right answer, just what you are prepa... | |
| Which preamp- Pass Labs X1 vs Cary SLP2002 I use the Pass Labs X1 preamplifier. It is very, very quiet, has terrific resolution and sweetness. | |
| You never know what today will bring Yeah Ernie, but think of the benefits. If I sold Subarus for you, everyone would get more for less. | |

As I recollect: The original betamax was a superior medium for encoding audio along with video. However, in the best spirit of technical competition, a multiplexing scheme was developed... | |
| pre's and amps that match well with Electro EMC-1 I use mine with pass labs X-1 pre and the combination is very satisfying. | |
| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing I find it interesting that the statement "we need to evaluate equipment on how it sounds and not on the technology used to get there" is being put forward by someone who clearly understands the technology well. If this statement is taken to mean t... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? Ford Crown Victoria 1996 190,000 miles, and she ain't done yet. Mercury Grand Marquis 1998 50,000 miles. These cars are murder on brakes.Funny how many people like this kind of thread. | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. Twl has the expensive version.($.25). I use Nickels, and for some things pennies. | |
| Which components knocked you out on first listen? This thread should yield some interesting things.My examples are retrospective:For speakers, The Revel Ultima Salon on piano playback.For source material: The first time I heard Red Book CD on a player with upsampling. For amplifiers: The first ti... | |
| HELP: Subwoofer for music I purchased a REL Stadium III on Audiogon. It is tight and musical, easy to integrate and very highly regarded. REL has smaller Subs (in terms of $$$) in their line up, which might serve you well. However, I think Bigtee is correct, it may be diff... |
