| New Dire Straits 45RPM reissues from Mobile Fidelity I got the MoFi 45 Brothers in Arms late last year. The sound quality was everything you say, simply stunning (one of the few that can stand up to a White Hot Stamper) but sad to say it was also the worst, and I mean absolute worst, pressings ever.... | |
| Inflated prices in audio I'm not convinced that the best high-end from now is necessarily better than the stuff back then - different perhaps.Okay well then you could stand to get out more.Starting from 1973, all the way on through to today, I've been comparing and buying... | |
| Has to be said Uh, it’s not an electromagnetic field, it’s an electromagnetic wave, the wavelength of which, Blah, blah, yada, yada, so on and so forth. Forest for the trees. It is in fact an electromagnetic field because you can't have one without the other (he... | |
| who uses shunyata cables I have one. Too long ago to remember what it replaced. I'm in Redmond, Shunyata is based near here, this was back in the beginning and Caelin himself brought a couple over to my place for audition. Still have it. Its on my motor drive, my least se... | |
| How do you buy / sell such heavy things like speakers over the web? We're in the same boat. My Talon Khorus are also very old and while they were highly respected performers in their day and still damn fine right now I just don't see anyone paying to truck them cross country. I'll be using a combination of AudioMa... | |
| dB effeciency vs speaker configuration Well technically its sensitivity but the difference is hard to explain so efficiency will do. Which one sounds better is impossible to say. Pretty obviously there are great examples, as well as examples that suck, of every design. For every guy wh... | |
| Has to be said 440hz shifted 8hz the earths standard resonance. while all the 1000s of years 432hz was based on real natural happenings before electronics. dont you all care everything you listen to is 8hz off tune and therefore wrong, but you will bicker about ... | |
| Crazy cheapo tweaks and impressive SQ hacking Curious about cable elevation.Does entire length of cable need to be elevated to hear improvements?Don't think I elevate part of cable that runs underneath cabinet.Also, would placing wire on top of plastic sleeve or long piece of wood work? Or, d... | |
| Pass Labs and Fuses Props Dave for all the extra work you put in on this. If your ears are half as good as I think they are then you knew in no time flat. I mean in took me all of 30 seconds to know a) its better and b) its backwards. Pretty amazing when something is... | |
| Koetsu black, lacking bass My Koetsu Black Goldline was awesome top to bottom and right out of the box. It improved of course, everything does, but it never ever sounded light, not in the bass, not anywhere else. If there was even any inkling of that from reviews believe me... | |
| Should Subwoofer Be Plugged Into Same Circuit? Run one line, 10 ga copper if you can. Not the cheaper aluminum. One run only, direct from panel to the one system outlet. Plug your power conditioner into it, and plug everything into the conditioner. Or power strip if you're not using a conditio... | |
| Oracle Origine MkII or Music Hall mmf-7.3? Listen to these guys Brandon this is good advice. Turntables last a long time. A good one can be practically a forever thing. (Mine's over 15 years, don't see it being replaced any time soon, if ever.) Coming from entry level, to just make baby st... | |
| In need of a new bluray player lost without oppo now what ? Yeah Oppo was the deal. Modded one can match players 2-3 times the price. Which you could do for whatever budget you have in mind. Very good way to go. So that's one option.Better one I think is a set of Synergistic ECT https://highend-electronics... | |
| Speaker Cable Blending I too have an old cable drawer. Whole bunch of Synergistic Research interconnects and speaker cables, a few Shunyata power cords, etc. Some of them going back to the 90's.One day this one audio bud who was a big believer in DIY called all excited ... | |
| Any experience using a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet Outlets definitely make a difference. I've got three different ones. Also over the years have run three different versions of house wiring to my system. Which is why I say there's way better uses for your money than three dedicated lines, and plug... |
