| EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01 What a great song that is. And an excellent track to use to evaluate components. As you say, the drum solo towards the end should be really impressive, and those couple of deep bass slams should hit you in the chest.As would have it, I'm on the ro... | |
| Bonnie Raitt and Lyle Lovett I saw most of that. I was impressed by the music for sure, but there were a couple of other aspects that came through that made it all the more interesting. Their affection and respect for each other seemed so honest; and the level of musical coll... | |
| If $ was no object what speaker would you buy? I live in an apartment and don't have the space for something huge and I listen a lot at quite low levels, so I have a different set of priorities to many audiophiles. Of all the speakers I have heard, I think I would like the small Kharma Exquisi... | |
| Furitech vs. Bedini Demagnitizer I also have a Radio Shack High Power Video/Audio Tape Eraser. I bought this just to try it out - I have no tapes. The effect is extremely subtle, and I doubt if I could categorically say that the action of demagnetizing a CD improves the sound. It... | |
| Why hasn't America discovered the Fertin sound yet OK, that's more interesting. Thanks for following up Lauren. I little "googling" found this thread on Audio Asylum from Feb 2005.http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/set/messages/37188.htmlThe AA thread includes a link to the French site of JLB Creat... | |

| diy interconnect recipe? I had pretty good success with 24 ga. high purity solid silver wire in individual Teflon tubes. I used 7 wires in a very loose braid - 3 for the signal, 4 for the return. These were terminated with copper Eichmann Bullet plugs (the silver ones wer... | |

| High Definition Radio I've seen a couple of HD Radio tests here in the local San Jose newspaper. Not high-end equipment at all - combination units around the $400 mark. It was interesting to read about the way digital radio works, but the sound quality was not noted as... | |

| Sony scd xa777es vs scd777es Regarding the "balanced" XLR outputs on the SCD-1. The way this is implemented is reasonably well-known, but just in case you are not completely aware of the method, Allen Wright has this to say:The complex way SONY do the balanced outputs on the ... | |
| A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows I agree with Brainwater regarding TAD. The new TAD Model 2 looked fabulous and sounded sublime, and I must say that Andrew Jones was a real pleasure to talk to. He explained a number of aspects of the manufacture of the vapor-deposition Be-coned h... | |

| BAT vs Cary Mark02131 writes:I was at CES this year and did not like the way the BAT folks were treating people. I will be nice and leave it at that. I have always found Geoff, Viktor and Steve to be friendly and accomodating. At CES, I spent 30 minutes talki... |
