| Tube vs SS vs Digital Wolf,Good point! Tubes are a lot more fun to play with than transistors. Not that I've tried....recently. Well, I seem to recall I may have actually as a kid. I had a shoebox filled with little gadgets I collected around to play with. I seem to re... | |
| why do we argue? "If they work for other ears that's great, but the only way to know is if you go out and try the things that are being described."That is true and I doubt anyone would disagree. But, the hard part is the decision making process. Which things to tr... | |
| Audiogon members poor packing and shipping damage FWIW, for larger or more fragile more costly items that are more problematic to ship safely, I usually try to hold out for a seller that is closer to me whenever possible in order to minimize shipping risks involved. Ideally, I will wait for somet... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? "If one medium is threatened, it's CD"No doubt. DIgital downloads are a way bigger threat to CD than vinyl. SImilar to how digital downloads of books are a threat to the formally printed variety. Printing/publishing to physical media in general is... | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? I've been to many live shows. SO I guess there goes that theory.Once, I saw Peter Tosh in a 100,000 seat football stadium. The sound sucked! A lot of MArley recordings on my stereo are way better.I've heard some good sounding reggae/ska in smaller... | |
| why do we argue? Well, I guess if it boils down to two choices when someone says something that does not sound right:1) ignore it2) argue the pointI suppose if we all chose to not argue ever, the world would be a much different place? Better or worse? Hard to say.... | |

| Totem Arro vs Silverline Prelude vs Salk Songtower BEing close to the rear wall is almost always not ideal for imaging and 3-D sound, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. My second system cannot not be set up ideally but still sounds great. I suspect this would be the case with any of those three. I ... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? Hi Ralph,Glad you responded. I was thinking of this very initiative that you have mentioned prior. A laboratory, whatever it's actual form, is wherever innovation takes place. That is what it seems to me you are doing in attempting to push the edg... | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Assuming your power may not be clean to start with, which is often the case, I would first try a suitable power conditioner to accomplish your goals before investing in a fancy power cord. THere is a good chance that will accomplish your goal and ... | |
| FURMAN ELITE 15PFI AND ELITE 20PFI I've also been looking at the Furman conditioners as an upgrade to my power conditioning at some point.All other features aside, a power conditioner capable of delivering more current than currently needed will probably never hurt if the additiona... | |
| Brand new silver power cord is bright sounding Are you using any power conditioning in front of the power cord?I would address that if needed first from a clean power perspective by trying a power conditioner perhaps for everything except the power amp at first and then see how everything else... | |
| Is a vinyl rig only worth it for oldies? I tend to agree with Raul's latest stated position on both digital and vinyl.DIgital signal processing is much more flexible and accurate in general than analog. I doubt anybody familiar with both technologies in detail could dispute that? CD redb... |
