| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz "We broke for lunch. I doubt if I had a beer, but don't remember."You probably had something then. Could have instigated your hearing. :^) | |
| Do amps lose steam over time? Everything deteriorates or flat out breaks eventually. Or it could be changes in your hearing or reaction to what you hear. Or all of the above. Can't hurt to pull everything apart and put it back together again once in a while if done with care. ... | |
| Himalayan SALT Lamp Could the potential corrosive effects be along the lines of "sea air"? Healthy to breathe maybe. I'd avoid it if I had to choose, but then again I'm not so crazy about the darn things to start with. I like my expensive audio toys better. So choosi... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz " I guess I still remember the sound improvement when Rick and I listened to the improvement after about an hour and a half after we listened with another pc and also to the addition of a HFC pc"We'll assume no imbibing was involved in the interim... | |
| Any ideas?? ARC CD 3 doesn't work "At one time , 50-60 years ago, Rochester NY was THE best city in the USA.Now like every old industrial city from Wooster MA to Gary IN a total wreck."The bright side is that at least new best places have come along to replace them. Times change. ... | |
| How did I do on this Amp? Sounds like a decent deal at minimum if in good operating condition. Check the blue book info for a few $$s more and know for sure. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Hopefully people keep open minds and do not jump to conclusions when reading threads like this that make a vendor look bad. IT really does not matter what people think, only what the buyer thinks. One case either way means nothing, regardless of t... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Also Mahler 3rd Symphony but you have to be willing to stick it out till the end. | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Moody BLues "Seventh Sojourn" always takes me where I want to be, in good or bad times. | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? YEs, the right amp for many Totems is very powerful ones that deliver lots of current. Class D is a great choice to avoid size and bulk and possibly expense.I've heard Arros perform superbly well away from walls however bass levels will be more pr... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? Good imaging and soundstage helps with 3 of 4 dimensions. The 4th is time. Coherence is the aspect of sound that matters there. Good imaging + soundstage + coherence sets the table for all teh rest to really excel and reach maximum potential.. | |
| Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan "The later Dylan specifically Modern Times is so much better than most of the early stuff."I agree its really good and I've been enjoying it more than the older stuff in recent years, but hard to compare as apples/apples. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... " And while sound is paramount it's a company's support that keeps me coming back. "Customer support is the biggest differentiator between companies IMHO in that there are many that offer really good sound but not all offer equally effective custo... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? Good imaging helps with musicality IMHO in that music is a 3 (actually 4 including time) dimensional phenomenon in nature and a large soundstage with good placement within along with "air" helps one sort through the music better, much like a large... | |
| Totem Arro vs Totem Sttaf. Which one image better? Arros are amazing for their size with the right amp and image as well as most anything I have heard when set up well.LEss familiar with Sttaf. They might be just as good or better in the right application I suspect. |
