| Paint Removal? Thanks guys for the responses. Much appreciated.Audio, The unit sounds great (AE-3 DJH) and it's all of a day old! Vast improvement over my previous pre-amp (a Linn Majik) and looking forward to the DJH hitting its stride. Will go into more detail... | |
| Eerie, Ethereal, Moody, Involving Soundtracks I'm surprised Thomas Newman's work has not been mentioned more. He's sorta the town's king of Etherial Moody. Recent high water compositions include:AMERICAN BEAUTYANGELS IN AMERICAThose are just two excellent examples. Candidly, most of Newman's ... | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... A friend: "Where are the speakers again?"My mother: "Bring back that girl again!" (played Norah Jones for her)Also, as a single man, most of the women I bring home look at my listening room (which is - I know - extreem) with a bit of concern. Even... | |
| Tube pre for Forte 4a Thanks for the reply, Lak. (I've enjoyed your posts and have found them very informative)The Channel Island preamp is fits EXACTLY with my audio philosophy. But I have tempered my view as I learn (read - become confused) about high-end audio. I am... | |
| Upgrading Power Supply Caps Well, you're right, Rock - as I listen to this amp I am quite happy, and if I'm inclined to upgrade, it's now the preamp. I guess I'm just surprised how much amp I got for my $500.BTW, I popped the hood of the Forte and wow: what a beautifully sim... | |
| Upgrading Power Supply Caps Jeff, "Rock", and Sean, you each offered something I would not have considered otherwise. Know that is appreciated.Best,Lee | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Can we say flame bait?LOL! | |
| Possibly The Best Kept Secret In Turntables? Thank-you Buscis. Very helpful for me. | |
| Collective letter s to Stereophile Sean,Clearly, there are some harmonics I'm missing. While I examined the AA thread, my take was that it was a dogpile on you. Why you'd defend 'Grooves' is lost on me. So instead, I'll state it clearly, from my perspective.These Sphile guys are co... | |
| Brubeck's 'Time Out' listeners Bomb,Thanks for the thoughtful listen. When one thinks about the size of a Bass, it is a hell of a reflector! This is what I think we're hearing, and while it's a minor effect, I find it amazing our playback systems can pick it up.Take care, | |
| Collective letter s to Stereophile I find it amusing that 'Grooves' chooses a path of righteous indignation when customers complain, rather than listening and responding thoughtfully. Way to go, Sport, put another nail in that Stereophile coffin! | |
| Power cord? Why? Gotta say, these things make a difference. Power cords *and* outlets. I NEVER would have thought this to be the case!Just some personal background to so you know how entrenched in the nay-sayers' camp I was. Undergrad in Physics and Math. 5 years ... | |
| Has anyone tried Signal Cable? I've got 17' of Analog 2 connecting CD player to integrated amp. Solid performer, outstanding price. | |
| Wash, Cut, Polish & Demagnetize Anyone have experience with Audio Desk Systeme's CD cleaner? | |
| Linn Ikemi vs. Arcam FMJ CD33 Warning: if you get the Ikemi, make sure you've got a good equipment rack, understand vibration management, and have good room acoustics. The Ikemi is a *very* light weight player and I think poorly designed for the task of vibration management.I ... |
