| Why does better power = better sound? Add a Furutech GTX D gold receptacle to the list of power products that provide better sound.After reading about it's use in an upscale power conditioner review I thought I would give one a try.It replaced a very good Shunyata RZ1, and bettered it... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? My engine( Mercedes) requires high octane, so says the manufacturer.I will not switch to regular just to save a few bucks at the pump,it could be more costly in the long run with engine repairs.Rower you can disagree with me ,but I will also not c... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? Power cords finally are getting the respect they deserve.I remember when anything more costly than the power cord that came in the box was snake oil, and only fools would part with their money to buy one.It's interesting and educational to play ar... | |
| Fuses that matter. I should have known better, and should have used a magnifying glass to check which original fuse was the 5 amp and which was the 1.5 The more robust looking original fuse I mistook for the 5 amp fuse.The 5 amp fuse was actually the thin single wir... | |
| Fuses that matter. The engineers had profit in mind, and so does the designer,manufacturer,dealer, all down the line.Using a cheap fuse is cheap.Designing a protection circuit without a fuse isn't.Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings.Cheap fuses work, they do what they... | |
| Why does better power = better sound? My experience with cd players is that the further away you isolate them from your other gear the better your sound will be.I have found that plugging the CD player all by itself into a Furman 15 amp balanced power conditioner sounds better than pl... | |
| Which processor/preamp.... Why not try a Yamaha sound bar? | |
| Sutherland PHD I owned and enjoyed the PHD for several years, and only replaced all the batteries once,and just for OCD reasons.It performed flawlessly and I enjoyed the sound,really can't find anything to fault with it, except for the fact that changing gain an... | |

| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Yes I have all the new ones from Johnny, and I like them, even though I only have the cd's!.I do have some old mono lp's from the man, and they aren't too shabby either.I've never heard of Low, but I do like the group Lambchop, mostly for the musi... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Something from my own musician point of view concerning cloning the sound of different tubes etc.If you want the "real" sound of a Hammond B3 and Leslie, go out and buy the real tubed ones made decades ago.The synth versions are just that, synthet... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I've been catching up on this thread,still more to read, but thought I'd like to add.Way back ,early in this thread I stated a preference for the recording talents of the folks from the 60's,who had none of the toys that the the new crop of "educa... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? "Vinyl definitely has a different sound and feel to it...."Rockpig ,apparantly you are not bothered by the inaccuracies of vinyl,and acknowledge that there is something going on that is missing in the digital domain.It's the "different sound" from... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? The original recordings were done so well that those master tapes can still be used to make modern pressings that can be better than the originals.They may be a bit expensive,but the same used original lp's are costing more,and by used I mean less... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? No, I don't "got it".I don't hear the distortions you refer to in my vinyl rig nor in my friends vinyl rig.I am not aware of added distortions that interfere with the music, or that add harmonious colourations pleasing to my ears and the ears of o... |
