| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? I would seriously question the wisdom of possessing nutmeg under the imminent Bush administration but agree fully with its value to those of us who know fresh-grated from packaged-powdered. | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? I always subscribed to the idea of burn-in previously, having experienced the sound of a new component blooming and evolving over time. I've also put new components into my system that never became appealing no matter how long they seasoned (usual... | |
| Balanced or SE inputs? Briefly, I have found balanced connections to be most noticably superior in longer runs such as between pre-amp and amp(s). There is less noise. In short runs such as between components there may be little benefit over SE and indeed some may prefe... | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? So you're not yawning after all. I can only presume you're not humming. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Touche Dekay! I fear you confuse effect with detail however. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Hiwaves, if you haven't tried it, don't knock it. But, your post does indeed exemplify itself. | |
| Know of a "Dirt Cheap" tweak? Try cupping your hands around your ears to varying degrees. Sticking your tongue out at bad recordings often helps. | |
| Help me find a smooth solid-state amp? The BEL (Brown Electronic Labs) 1001 MkV is the smoothest most tube-like SS amp on the planet. Check out TAS Golden Ear Awards 2000 issue 127. | |

| Most achingly-beautiful music Kenny G plays Enya's greatest hits. One can only dream of that much aching. How about the 2nd movement(adagio) from Ravel's piano concerto in G as an alternative? | |
| New Enya Album Was Enya a member of Clannad or the Chieftains before Hollywood introduced her to elevators? | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Well it's you for me and me for euphony. We're probably talking semantics here but at least you have me thinking which is the whole point. For all of you looking for the "absolute sound" some questions: How much enjoyment do you get from hearing b... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Tubegroover, good points above. However, I avoid "ultimate truth and accuracy" in audio like the plague. Half the reproduced music I listen to never occurred in real time anyway. But if it did the last thing I would be worried about is what it is ... | |
| Tubes? Transistors? Which are better? Waldhorner, I don't find much enjoyment wondering if what I'm hearing sounds like the imagined original(?). I just listen to it and like it or not. I tune my system to like most of what I hear. You want to "faithfully replicate the aural experienc... | |
| smoothing those sibilants... Your problem is why Cardas sells so much interconnect and cable despite the "flavor of the month" hype. Check out Cross or Golden Cross. In your system, interconnect will give best BANG/$$$. |
