Resolution Audio Opus 21 questions
Okay guys, I see your confusion, (and probably my own!).Here is what Ardri wrote: "Where did Jeff Kalt say it was better thru a Pre Amp?"He didn't, at least not per se.What he told me was, exactly what I wrote earlier which was: "The DIN output by... 
The Beatles albums finally all remastered
WOW! I am really interested in the mono remixes. That will be cool! 
Toothbrush's featured in Stereophile
And as Viridian's friend and dentist, I can confirm that he does indeed no longer brush his teeth.FYI: I used to like to go to Viridian's house and listen to music with him, but no more, or at least not with out a clothes pin for my nose!:-)PS Hey... 
Resolution Audio Opus 21 questions
Ardri,Please read my post again.Here is what I wrote: (The DIN output bypasses the volume control, and is the absolute best way to get the best sound from this unit, as per Jeff Kalt, the owner of Resolution Audio.)Where in that sentence to you se... 
Resolution Audio Opus 21 questions
I am very happy with mine in all respects actually.I will state that I have the unit running into my Ayre K-1xe preamp via the DIN output on the Opus 21. (The DIN output bypasses the volume control, and is the absolute best way to get the best sou... 
Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll
Eee3,There is a phrase that you would be wise to learn:It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open one's mouth, (or in this case to put fingers to keys), and remove all doubt.Apparently you have no need of a calender, as Apri... 
Optimum cartridge storage?
In a cool, dark environment and most importantly, in a vacuum. I would suggest buying a small vacuum container, one with a built in pump and putting it away in a drawer or closet. (And every so often, remember to pump out the air that will eventua... 
Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll
Eee3,Bill (Audiofeil) is not the only one that feels that The Beatles were better than anyone, before or since, as you can count me in that same category! And The Beatles were WAY better than the ones who you say created it. (I like Chuck Berry, b... 
I met Eva Manley
Wireless200, Funny that you should state: "It's great that he'll get on AA and answer questions.", because someguy named AbeCollins at AA is apparently trying to get him kicked off the asylums and shoved into a manufacturer's forum.Interesting thr... 
I met Eva Manley
Peter_s,I guess so. (Why, is he usually not so nice?)Ken Stevens didn't know me from Adam, and yet when I discussed my setup with him @ CES, he was very supportive of the choices I made, and why I did not chose his preamp, (given my requirement of... 
I met Eva Manley
I met her at CES a couple of years ago, and I agree with your assessment of her entirely.(I would put Ken Stevens of CAT fame in the same category.)And somewhat surprisingly, I don't own a piece of equipment from either one of them, although I wis... 
Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll
Yes, you did forget something...No. 10, This is my last post ever here on Audiogon, so you'll never again have to read another one of my lame lists.Happy April Fools Day!;-) 
Jazz at the Pawn Shop...
Like Montejay, I kind of like it too. It is well recorded, and makes for a decent demonstration disk. The jazz music on it is just okay. Nothing great, but not bad either. And since I don't have any other jazz music like it, it is unique in my col... 
Shuynyata Hydra 2, 4, 6, and 8
I suggest you contact the Audiogon member "Samuel", who is Grant @ Shunyata Research. He should be able to tell you exactly what the difference are.Now, with that being said, my battered brain seems to recall that the Hydra 2 was designed a bit di... 
Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?
Perhaps you could show him that your cables can double as a garrote, and give him a personal demonstration?By the way, I looked at your system, and the guy was right.Your cables suck big time!I have lamp cord that works better than those cables!;-...
