| CD-format to be abandoned by major labels by the e I heard this about vinyl in the early 90's, I'm still waiting to see it happen. | |
| Review: Martin Logan SL3 Speaker The SL3s are wonderful speakers and a steal at what they are going for used. I have owned a pair since 98 and have had no desire to replace them. I have also owned Cary SLM100s. I upgraded to an Audio Research VT100 and now a Ref 110. I have also... | |
| Your favourite Internet Radio Station in 2011? My favorite internet radio station would have to be SomaFM Boot Liquor: Americana Roots music for Cowhands, Cowpokes and Cowtippers | |
| ARC VS-115 vs ARC Ref-110 I did not have both amps in my system at the same time. I heard the Ref 110 a couple weeks after the VS 115. I owned a VT 100 mk3 at the time and was looking to upgrade. I took home a demo VS 115 for a weekend. A few weeks later my dealer said th... | |
| ARC VS-115 vs ARC Ref-110 I own a Ref 110 and it is much better than the VS 115. I have not heard the new Ref 150 so I can't comment on it. So far my dealer does not have a demo. I would like to hear one but have no plans of replacing my Ref 110 in the near future. I do p... | |
| CD Ripping software When I ripped my MFSL and DCC discs a couple of years ago, almost all where in the accurp database. As I remember most had around 8 or 10 matches. I have about a hundred MFSL discs and I don't remember there being any that didn't have at least a ... | |
| CD Ripping software If you want a bit perfect rip then you need to use either EAC or dBpoweramp. Either of these programs will also verify your rip using the accurip database so you know the rip is perfect. I prefer Eac myself. Windows Media Player will not give you... | |
| What are good preamp upgrades from Adcom GFP-565? There are not that many tubes in a line stage. Preamp tubes last a long time and are not that expensive as long as you buy current production. There are no expensive power tubes to replace. So the tube replacement costs of an ARC should not be th... | |
| Turntable / Arm combo for around $2000. new. I mainly listen to classic rock. But also some blues, jazz and classical. I like a very accurate and detailed sound with excellent imaging and soundstage. Nothing that sounds overly romantic or syrupy. I have owned a number of amp/preamp combinat... | |
| Turntable / Arm combo for around $2000. new. Macdadtexas, That is a very interesting point that I had not thought of. My main reason for wanting to buy new was so that I could have someone who knows what they are doing setup the table. Buying used would give me a lot more options. It never ... | |
| Turntable / Arm combo for around $2000. new. If I buy a used table I am concerned that it may not be set up properly or modified. If I buy a new table from a local dealer, I can have the dealer install the cartridge and make all the adjustments. That way I know everything is set up properly... | |
| Any cable experts online?? Whose cables are these? They look like Audio Research Litzlink 1 cables from the late 1980's or early 1990's. I have only seen the brochure but they sure look like them. I own Litzlink 2 cables which were the more expensive version. These cables were hand made in house b... | |
| Biasing your Tubes to your Room You are not solving the problem, you are just covering it up. Swap the right and left side tubes. If the problem switches sides then the problem is with the tubes. Replace them with matched pairs. If the problem does not move then the problem cou... | |
| how can a cheap cd drive equal a fine transport? Computers work differently than CD or DVD transports. With a computer every bit must be right or a program will not run. When a computer program such as EAC rips a disc it reads the data over and over to get every bit correct. A program such as E... | |
| FLAC On A Mac If you do decide to convert the FLAC files to another format, I would highly recommend that you keep the original files also. |
