| Memorial Day As always, I and my family have the highest respect and the deepest gratitude for all who have served, and on this day remember their sacrifices, as well as the sacrifices made by their families, so that we can be free. | |
| Best beer Tmsorosk, there in Alberta Canada one of your large national union breweries brews Brador beer.....uh, things could be worse. | |
| Cable with Neutrik Speakon connector Speakon connectors are very easy to work with. They have set screw type internal terminations and come with two sizes of inserts to use as strain relief. I just made two different umbilical DC power cables with Speakon connectors to connect an out... | |
| Best beer Rhapsd, I too am a big fan of the Samuel Smith Oatmeal Stout. I have one more in the fridge left over from earlier this spring but I like those better in the colder months. Summer'ish is almost here in Michigan and that means Oberon, with an orang... | |
| Biwire speakers Well stated Calcentral, you answered your own question, which beats the more popular pastime of questioning your own answer. | |
| Who here uses Von Gaylord amps or other gear? They are one of those companies that seem to be under the radar. Amazing, one could build an entire system from their gear from DAC to amps to speakers to cables. I would be very interested to hear a full Von Gaylord set-up. I like the reports of ... | |
| Pubul57- audiophile, philosopher, and friend I just saw this about Paul and I am saddened that we have lost someone who was always friendly, reasoned, and knowledgeable. I could tell from his posts, and our sometimes interactions on finding just the right preamp, that he was a solid and trus... | |
| Defunct Company Gear Value Interesting thoughts given that a lot of very nice sounding gear is designed and manufactured by what are essentially one-man operations - think Vladimir Lamm, Judd Barber, Ken Stevens, Jim White, Ralph Karsten, Kevin Halverson, Steve McCormack, K... | |
| Compact Disc as a format Interesting and good to hear about your conversion to computer audio. I may feel the same sometime in the furture, but I have not felt the urgency to do so yet, until the quality of the playback hardware and software matures and stabilizes, and th... | |
| McCormack DNA500 for Revel Salon 2? vs Lev/Mac? I owned both, the Carys after the McCormack. Both were nice with the McCormack being a touch more neutral with a bit better bass slam and definition and the Cary being a little warmer in the midrange, sweeter in the high frequencies, but a little ... | |
| Compact Disc as a format I agree with Grannyring and I still like the simplicity of grabbing a disc, putting it in a player and selecting what I want to hear. I have two great sounding players that both do hi-rez so any download I want can simply be copied to DVD and play... | |
| Muse Audio contact? I am not surprised, he has been very helpful to me in the past. | |
| Muse Audio contact? I have had better luck by e-mailing them. I recently had two components upgraded by them (last year) and even had a special "paint job" on one of them so yes, they were great to work with - just not always 24/7 with the communication. They will ge... | |
| LED vs Plasma, 60" vs 65" Purchased the 65 and 50 inch Panasonic plasma sets last year, they provide the best picture I have seen compared to other (non-strataspheric priced) sets. The 65 is the upper model and looks excellent but the 50 was a true value for the price. | |
| Preamp recomendation Does Lightspeed make a mono model that plugs directly into the amp(s), like the Endler or EVS attenuators? In my limited experience, doing away with that output cable offers a significant sonic benefit when going passive. |
