could be ... equipment malfunction through power irregularities, reception problems interfence from other stations, FM waves bouncing where they shouldn't (have you ever moved closer/further from a weak FM signal and noticed how the signal and thu... 
Shipping to Japan? Any advice?
Oh, one more thing .... The origin of orignal manufacture is MOST important with respect to any duties your buyer will pay. Thus, if the item was 'made in Japan' your buyer will have no duties to contend with. If not, then he/she will likely pay s... 
Shipping to Japan? Any advice?
Overseas customs can be quite complex. Choose a major shipper such as FEDEX and ask to speak to their brokerage department. They will assist you with the proper paperwork, brokerage costs, etc. This will allow your shipment to enter Japan with the... 
What does State of the Art mean to you?
I'm not sure how this thread got into the 'state' that it is in, but folks, it sure is disappointing. I guess what hurts the most, is that it seems there is little interest or support in submitting well researched articles/threads. I truly thought... 
What does State of the Art mean to you?
Leafs .... posts such as your previous one accomplish little in the way of constructive discourse. If you don't like the content, or if you disagree with the post, then at least have the courtesy to say why. If you cannot, then who is really wasti... 
Panasonic H1000 vs Pioneer DV-38A
Have the Elite, love it, and I echo the importance of warranty cited by the last poster with anything that has moving parts. Mine died after 30 days (wouldn't read discs). Pioneer replaced it with a brand new unit within 48 hours! Not a wimper sin... 
What equipment is state of the art?
Just What is SOTA? If You Think it’s an Easy Definition, Please Read On.Current consumer behaviour models define no less than four different definitions of ‘State of the Art’ -- all correct, and all used in different contexts. The interaction of t... 
brulee fails PC challenge
In any "scientific" comparison test, you want to keep the test conditions as stable and repeatable as possible. Before the electrical engineers jump in with their recommendations, here's some of things you'd need to consider to increase the "valid... 
Headphone amp for Sennheiser HD600
Gundam91: I'll be doing an extensive test of Grado RA-1 headphone amp with the Grado RS-1s vs Sen 600, which I have on order from Germany.I also have just purchased a Placette active line stage preamp, which contains a class A headphone amp. In a ... 
Velodyne or REL or Vandersteen?
I've got the big Velo HGS 18 and just purchased a used REL Stadium II. When I get the Stadium hooked up I'll A/B against the Velo in an extensive test and let you know. For now, the big Velo definately deliver the goods for HT, but I feel it may b... 
The top ten reasons why.....
Has anyone else seen or heard Bose's just released WaveII SACD player? Unlike their other components, this new player/upsampler actually sounds quite good.Using a 24/192 upsampler for Redbook licensed from dcs and Marantz's high end SACD transport... 
Tubed Headamp for Grado RS-2 ?
.... ahh you didn't mention that the Grados weren't run in yet! Of course, that's why they sounded harsh -- especially with yet to be broken in silver cables. Give that cable a hundred hours (at least) to smooth out and I'm sure you'll like them e... 
Highest B/B
The best advice I can give you is to buy something that is easliy resellable. And that means a good name brand. You need not worry about spending $1,000 if you are going to recover $850. Have a hard look at Bryston, as their 20 year transferable w... 
Tubed Headamp for Grado RS-2 ?
Mikec ....I haven't heard the RS-2s, but the genreal consensus on the headroom.com discussion forms is that RS-1s(which I have and love) are much better. You may also like the Sen 600's too.I agree, out of the box, the Grados are VERY UNcomfortabl... 
Tubed Headamp for Grado RS-2 ?
I have the Grado RS-1/RA-1 combo and it is near perfect; improing on my older Stax by quite a bit (to be fair the Stax were over 15 years old). I found that pluging RA-1 directly into the source (in my case, a Sony SCD-1) greatly improves te sound...
