| Does it make sense to buy SACD of old recordings? Tboooe writes:My initial thought is SACD will not make a difference since these old recordings are of such poor quality anyway that SACD would just reveal more of the bad recordingsMany of those old recordings are great recordings, but I'm not con... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do Jlind325is writes:... or do they just come back to your place and listen?They do come back - but I think it's more for the drugs. ;-)Regards, | |
| Stylus Force Guages - why extreme accuracy? Maybe useful - after dialing it in by ear, you could remeasure and take a note of the exact force. Then as conditions change over the year - humidity, temperature, state of mind ;-) you could always run a quick check. I guess if I had one, I'd pla... | |
| Anyone have thoughts on the Peak Consult Zoltans? Audiooracle writes:ALSO I will say it again, USHER MAKES THEIR OWN pure Beryllium Midrange Driver and are the only ones to do so!That's untrue. Consider Technical Audio Devices, who first built a beryllium compression driver in 1975, and who conti... | |
| Best tube amp for jazz, B300 Seems when there is too many fq's going on, the tube gets all confused and just throws out a flat image, little dynamicsThat's not the 300B tube at fault.Regards, | |
| Best CD lens cleaner Sony state in their service manuals that the only acceptable method is compressed air.Regards, | |
| What do you think of the DIY Cat 5 speaker cables I made them. I made the full 27 pair with the recommended Belden Teflon-insulated 24ga wire. Mine were only 5 feet long, but it's still bloody hard work. If I had to do it again, I'd only use one pair of the 4 pairs inside the Cat 5 cable (each pa... | |
| Best One Country System? Can I play too?Australia - a Caliburn turntable plus Cobra arm, with one of the late Garrott Brothers modified cartridges, the big Osborn Epitome Mk V1 and Optional Epitome Bass Unit, and amps and preamps by Peter Stein (previously ME - now out of... | |
| How can power cords make a difference? Snofun3 is so right. I don't know what I was thinking sending money to the late Bob Crump for his silly cords. I'm just totally delusional and the vast improvement they made was completely in my head and was a perfect example of that well-understo... | |
| Best nos 6sn7g for my Atmasphere mp1. Acresverde writes:get in touch with Andy @ Vintage Tube Services and do it soon as he's closing up shop pretty soon. Really? That will be quite a loss - Andy has sold me excellent valves.Regards, | |
| Best "album" of 2006 The two I like the most at the moment are the Neko Case (wish it was longer than 35 mins though) and Paul Simon's "Surprise". The latter was hard to get into, but totally rewarding once assimilated.Regards, | |
| Best monitor under 5k? I've lived in an apartment for 6 years or so and have had my Coincident Super Eclipse Series II for about 5 years. I use a SET amp with a BAT VK-50SE preamp. The Super's are not small, but they are narrow and don't dominate the room. They provide ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Double Barrel vs Grover Huffman I have 2 sets of interconnects by Grover. I can recommend them. They sound great and the price is right. He is revising them all the time - be aware of this, if it makes you nervous.I have not heard his speaker cables in my system.Regards, |
