| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Ahem... As the saying goes: "...because they can!" | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions If I was in the market for a diminutive floor-standing speaker, I would, almost without question, order a pair of PSI Audio A215-Ms. You’ve no doubt never heard of them. They are very high-end professional studio mastering monitors made in Switzer... | |
| Power Cord Length Ahem. "I just thought somebody could explain why this company rep said what he said, other then to just make you spend more money on a longer cord." I believe you answered your own question quite well enough. There is no reliable, double-blind, in... | |
| Power Cord Length I'm sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, exotic AC power cords are pretty much a silly waste of time and money. As a simple general rule, the shorter the cord and the heavier the gauge the better. Both result in less resistance/better current flow ... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music I'm sorry folks, but I'm terrible busy right now. I'll try to respond to some of the comments maybe tomorrow nite or more likely Sunday. Thanks! | |
| Thoughts on balanced power A quick note. I personally doubt that, under ordinary conditions, one would be able to perceive any significant difference between the Furhman P-2400 IT and the comparable Equi=Tech Model 2RQ. Undoubtedly the Furhman is both less expensive and mor... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music OK, now that I’ve left a bad smell, to maybe sweeten things up let me suggest a few exceptional folk recordings that I’ve enjoyed over the years:Number one, without question or rival: "Silly Sisters" by Maddy Prior and June Tabor. A 40 year old re... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music I must respectfully, but emphatically, disagree that a group like Calexico, with a synth, a drum kit and contemporary lyrics, is in any sense "folk." They are without a doubt damn good, but if what they are playing is "folk," then anything is "fol... | |
| Thoughts on balanced power Equi=Tech (it's an equal sign "=", not a dash) is the high-end professional balanced AC way to go. A Son of Q unit would be ideal, and both expensive and a bit difficult to find, for almost any home system. That said, thereby hangs a tale:A few ye... | |
| record show experiences Well, The Keystone Record Collector’s Pennsylvania Music Expo claims to be "the largest monthly show of its kind." I don’t know about that, but there IS a lot of stuff there. Typical stuff, LPs, CDs, 45s, even DVDs. Mostly the typical genres, old ... | |
| Help With 60Hz Hum PLEASE I’m sorry, but I haven’t perused every word of this thread, so I may have missed some things. One often very effective, and rather expensive, cure for 60 Hz hum in a system is to use balanced AC power. Typically, balanced AC will reduce system hum... | |
| Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL phono stage review Thanks for the amen! It's reassuring.As for EQ curve preferences, RIAA vs IEC, it's mostly a matter of taste, and it's a plus that the MX-VYNL gives one the choice. The MX-VYNL's EQ curve is speced as highly accurate to the frequency extremes. On ... | |
| Jico SAS no more OUCH!! "...it has become most difficult to obtain the necessary parts, despite our best efforts..." There's no clue as to what the actual problem is, but it rather sounds as if the SAS stylus has gone the way of its granddaddy, the Shure V15, whic... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? Sorry, I've work to do and have been plenty busy. But I was reminded when a promo for this came in, this has been around for a long time, and I thought it might give this crew something fun to chew on. I give you iZotope Vinyl:https://www.izotope.... | |
| Is New Vinyl Exempt from Loudness Wars? LOL! No it didn't. Well, maybe others will, but I won't argue it. That's been done far more than well enough already, and I've nothing to add. |
