| Your auditioning music? Plinko- The last time I did that was compare a MOFI Cd of Dave Mason's "Alone Together" with the multicolored vinyl. The vinyl sounds better.One of my favorite audition LP's is Paul Simon's "Graceland"but there's always the Cowboy Junkies' "Trinit... | |
| Signal Cable -- High End Generic? Tony-I'd put MAS cables from Audioparts against Signal anytime. Check the cost comparisons too. | |
| Best opentop CDP Parasound 2000, built by CEC get some pretty good reviews. | |
| Tannoy-JBL question.. You're still talking about very different speaker building philosophies. Also whenever vintage speakers are considered, the aging of the surrounds must also be considered. It's difficult to compare them. Much of what I said before is still applica... | |
| Tannoy-JBL question.. I own two other Tannoy lines (not the Monitor Gold), one for HT and the other for analog stereo listening. I have owned JBLs (numerous different levels) in the past. These two Mfgr's don't compare. Tannoy is an small, old UK speaker maker, JBL is ... | |
| Head Cleaning Fluid Nsgarch- Isopropyl alcohol is for safety reasons...I won't drink it. :)) | |
| Head Cleaning Fluid Yep, Q-Tips and Isoppropyl alcohol. And yes, demangnetize the heads sometimes. I still own a Proton cassette player (although not in use currently) and have about 100 self recorded tapes which sound very good, considering the high frequency roll-o... | |

| Which cable to change first-intercon. or speaker? It wasn't meant as a derogatory comment Jafox. Simply that members perceive the importance of system connections differently. I'm always embarrassed when I unintentionally step on important toes. | |
| Which cable to change first-intercon. or speaker? You're asking a question that often polarizes the membership. There's Jafox and the "iPOD/Wilson" school of thought and the school of thought I belong to: "garbage in/garbage out". So. more specific information will elicit more helpful responses. | |
| Ready to try vinyl Wow, Nick Gowan at Truesound eh? Basically dismisses the usefulness of RCMs (almost specifically VPI and Nitty Gritty) overall but then endorses an expensive Clearaudio? Any agenda there? Glad he doesn't steer his customers wrong. | |
| DK Design Group X-Dream - wow Will they throw one of those amps in for free if I purchase the speakers? | |
| Can I put receiver and CD player on top of my sub? And put a big potted plant for aesthetics on top of that. | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners I'm a happy owner. My previous TT lasted about 15 years. I wanted another table that would last that long again. My LP-12 was bought used, it's an older one, it's built like a tank and it's probably out of "adjustment" but I don't care because it ... |
