| Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape If Wal-Mart doesn't sell it, the broader consumer market doesn't want it. | |
| tukans vs. katans I have had both Tukans and Katans. I would second what Muzikat said. I think they would like a little more power than 20-25 watts though. Your experience with the Katans and the monoblocs (Klimax?) is not just an illustration that small speakers c... | |
| What is the proper way to dispose of old tubes? Where I live, there are special garbage depots in the city where items containing toxic wastes can be dropped off rather than simply disposed of in the regular garbage. Does your city use recylcing boxes and have recycling pick-up along with regul... | |
| Pioneer Blu Ray Player BDP 05 FD According to the Pioneer website, the BDP 05 FD and BDP 95 FD models are listed as the current top models. If a new model is imminent, I don't think they would announce it too far in advance and undercut the sales of their current model. Since the... | |
| Creek Destiny Integrated vs. Current Aragon System I've owned Creek in the past. I think they're great value for money. However, your current Aragon is pretty decent. I think the Creek would be a sideways step rather than an upgrade. | |
| what are the thoughts of stand alone super tweeter Let me throw this out for speculation/discussion.Many reviewers and others report super tweeters to be an improvement. I have never heard speakers with them so I have no informed opinion.They operate at frequencies we can't hear. So there shouldn'... | |
| Weights on top of equipment to dampen vibration Viridian, that's not the cat howling. That's the brothel next door to your house. | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" Slikric3000....there's one or two of EVERY type of post each week! :) | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" Every once in a while in Stereophile there is an interview with a well know record producer. It's quite interesting to hear their philsophies of production and stories of their experiences with particular artists/bands/albums. Oops, did I say "alb... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" I think the answer to your question is any or all.Many bands will go to a specific record producer or engineer or studio based on personal abilities/experience/reputation and then place their trust and reliance on the person to do their job. Howev... | |
| Do I really need a processor? Well, I don't really think that processors and receivers are too complicated for parents. I'm a parent. I can generally figure out what button to push to turn it on. All the complicated stuff is done automatically. I'm sure that you will have grea... | |
| Please recommend hearing protection In some orchestras, glass panels are placed between musicians for this problem. | |
| A Perennial Debate For Which I Seek Help You're getting way too worked up about this Douglas.Your comments include a statement about me speaking authoritatively but apparently having little experience.It is a pretty basic technique of argument to attack the credibility of the person if y... | |
| Do I go active with my Linn 5140s ? Okay, I think I got this figured out now.The older Linn amps have a fixed gain, unlike the amps from the "C" series Chakra and forward. The fixed gain is essentially identical in all of the older amps. For example, it is 28.6 dB for the LK 85/140,... | |
| Do I go active with my Linn 5140s ? I was told by Linn that the adaptor allows you to put old cards into new Chakra amps. I didn't ask whether the adpator also worked the other way around, i.e. to put new cards into the older amps. I had contacted the Linn Helpline about this since ... |
