| Speakers good for close to wall placement DSP. Thereby compounding your problems. Sigh. What you want first and foremost are speakers of at least 92dB sensitivity. Because then all this nonsense of "selecting the proper integrated amp to drive them" disappears. That one decision alone fr... | |
| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration For the record, what millercarbon actually said, word for word: Another one you may like, the EAR 834P which if you really do want warm and woody can’t imagine how you do better than a vintage (mid-90’s) EAR. I seem to be getting forgetful in my... | |
| Best modern 6550 tube for ARC per-amp That's another thing I like about JJ, besides the sound quality, which is very near the top, you get a price that is very near the bottom. Almost all Tubestore.com tubes come with a 90 day warranty. The warranty on their Preferred Series is 6 mo... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! From reading that interesting link the most likely answer would seem to be some additive like propylene glycol. Whatever it is, it can't be a coating or additive since no way anything like that would last for decades. Has to be something in the vi... | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album Why were the spiders in favor of Mars? | |
| With the Holidays, what are your favorite films for the season?......... Dang it whatjd now you went and made me remember how much I miss Roger Ebert. Thought at first that review was gonna be one of the many lame ones written by one of these wanna-bees writing under his name. But no, that's a genuine Roger Ebert and i... | |
| With the Holidays, what are your favorite films for the season?......... Holiday Inn is indeed a fine film. As is Miracle on 34th Street. One with even more to teach today's audience is A Christmas Story, from whence comes the immortal, "You'll shoot somebody's eye out!" The uplifting moral of which is, no you won't yo... | |
| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration Uh, the world where you have to find stuff in order to buy it? No? How about the world where 20 year old components sell for a fraction of what they cost new? Still no? How about the world where insulting smart alecks with nothing positive to cont... | |
| Experiment question about sound treatment project By the way, as far as frames go- and skill- not even necessary. Mine are nothing more than OC703 cut and wrapped in fabric. The fabric is simply wrapped around and held together on the back with pins. Same way women pinned fabric before sewing, ba... | |
| Experiment question about sound treatment project The best way to learn is by doing. Frankly it is the only way. Because even when you buy something, and even if you pay a consultant to design and build, still you really only learn once its done and you have something to listen to. Everything up ... | |
| Looking for a phono stage with pleasing coloration Lol! Hey all I did was read what you wrote! Maybe it’s because the Charisma has a wooden body but it has more of a warmth and vintage coloration to its tonality that I like. Got a feeling you might really like the ARC PH3SE. Mine had a nice warm ... | |
| Power cable for Lavardin This will be like you-know-what-ing into the wind, or up a rope, pick your metaphor, but the idea of things like power cords being dependent on being used with particular components is just plain bollocks. I have changed power cords on amps, pre-a... | |
| Is this the solution to LP static issues?? Seems to be! Were they all washed the same? Or at all? | |
| how to set up good home theater sound (and picture) Well the good news is you're listening, and you're hearing. The bad news is you bought into the surround processor sales schtick. Those things are death to sound quality. No amount of money in a processor will get you even close to a run of the mi... | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation "But digital rules, no question."For you. Not for everyone. "The Earth is round." For you. Not for everyone. Which is more asinine? Discuss among yourselves, digiphiles. I find nothing nostalgic about something I never had or heard before, and th... |
