| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Roxy54, I understand what you're saying and you make a valid point, albeit rudely. But with the limited amount of HiFi stores in my area, the salesman gets to know me and I have ended up buying items within the year. It's not like I'm pretending t... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store I do it, but I go in with a purpose. In other words act like a buyer...I'll say I'm looking for some speakers in the $--- range. Once you're with a salesman in a sound room, you can inquire about some of the other gear.But I always say that I'm a ... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? David99..."Maybe a dumb question but, Wouldnt a Milty Zero-Stat Gun have the same effect for alot less money ?"That's why I ask the question, can't the plastic layer of the disk pick up a static charge? I'm not saying a CD can can become magnetize... | |
| What does "compression" like? This is not an answer to your question, Rebbi, rather just a side-note. We all hate the compression used to affect dynamics for ipod and radio play.Compression is also used in the recording studio and not in the negative ways that have been mentio... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? If the coating on a CD is plastic, in theory couldn't it have picked up a static charge? | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Whart, it is true that some venders are out of stock and the next pressing is happening as we speak. And thanks for the encouragement. And no dents in my appliances; that would be a hassle to return. | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I'm very pleased with the sound of my I, II, III. I actually like that they kept some of the sonic characteristics of the original tapes. (Dave_72, of course I know there were no pops or clicks in the originals...manufacturer's defect in your case... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Whart, it does seem just plain wrong.This is their response to my email; mind you I'm looking for an exchange and not a refund."I am sorry to hear that you are having an issue with your copy of Led Zeppelin I. However, we only take returns on defe... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Not being able to return new vinyl seems to be the industry standard now. When Music Direct asked me if my record will play and I said yes (even with a piece of the vinyl broken off), they said then it is not defective. Even though it's missing th... | |
| Seeking more 3d imaging, deeper/wider soundstage Great answers, obviously the consensus is to first move the speakers forward. I'll just add to adjust toe-in in small increments; it will affect your soundstaging. Even when manufacturers or dealers say "no toe-in on these speakers," every room an... | |
| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Has anybody said Aerosmith yet? God awful, yet so popular. They were a great hard rock band in the 70s, but the 2nd version of the band sucks. "Love in an Elevator," what crap. | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Whart...I'm getting errors trying to link to Steve Hoffman.I forgot about the LZ "Remasters" Box set from 1992, so it's very possible you are correct that earlier remasters were used. There was a lot of excitement back then when LZ was finally rem... | |
| Should I upgrade power cord for my preamp? Audiolabyrinth@ Lowrider57, Hi, May I ask you why you believe that a heavy gauge power cable can have a negative effect on a pre-amp or digital componet with volume control?I'm only speaking from my experience having tried a large gauge Tributarie... | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Whart, you may be right regarding Page's reason. But the greatest hits "Early Days/Later Days" were released in 1999/2000 and were pretty good remasters for that time (released on CD and vinyl).But they don't hold up today when compared to how dig... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl I'm wondering if anybody here has found any manufacturing defects in their vinyl? Overall I've found quite a few defects in NEW VINYL that I have purchased.My Led Zep 1 came with a major defect; as I removed the disk from it's sleeve, I saw what l... |
