| A DAC that can make digital sound analog? Not sure if this has been mentioned but the writer in this article finds that the Audio Research CD9’s DAC creates analog-like sound, even compares it to vinyl. Not sure if the DAC can be used separate from the transport.(Edit: It can and even has... | |
| Mini-Rant: Human Fingers @jetter It sounds like your cables were more thoughtfully designed. Like I say, the actual wire gauge looks to be 8-10 AWG. The rubber covering it is loose around it and much larger around which seems unnecessary since for part of that stretch the... | |
| Mini-Rant: Human Fingers @onhwy61 Well, it isn't an elaborate joke.But in a way it probably is humorous because it might just be my take on things. I work on a lot of stuff. Cars, tractors, plumbing, carpentry....as often as I can, if something needs to be fixed, fabricat... | |
| Mini-Rant: Human Fingers @jetter Here is a picture of the binding posts on my Aerial Acoustics:https://images.nikonians.org/galleries/data/3564/IMG_1124.JPGAs you can see they are 1/2 hex nuts with openings for banana clips. As you can also see there is very little room f... | |

| Mini-Rant: Human Fingers @shadorne If that is truly the reason then it makes me feel better about the whole thing. At least its not just a matter of bad design.@rodman99999 All three of the towers I have close experience with seem to have the same dimensions with the 5 wa... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** The real point is that it is all a matter of taste. We all like what we like but I'm not going to write something like "jazz isn't live music" just because I don't like jazz or because someone used a microphone. I'm also not going to set a quality... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** He is perfectly entitled to hold an opinion that is both technically incorrect and popularly unaccepted. He is even free to state it as a fact. | |
| newbie seeks advice Saw an article recently about how some vintage mid-fi receivers (Pioneer SX-1980 for instance) are far superior to current mid-fi receivers. The prices for them reflect that as well. | |
| CD no more produced? @tparr said:"I was in the habit at one time of going into the streaming services such as iTunes or Spotify not to stream the music but only to discover new music, and when I came across something I liked, I'd then check the used CDs on Amazon to g... | |
| Vinyl***What If*** @schubert :"A rock concert is not live music"I just love statements like that. I've been to symphonies, indoors and out, I've been to opera (in Italy), I've been to chamber music series in tiny rooms in Charleston, SC, I've been to live jazz perfo... | |
| Minor Vintage Repair? Good idea.Thanks. I have opened it once when most of the pots were not functioning properly. I used DeOxit solution on the pots and everything works great now except that one light. I won't have time to open it again for a few weeks but I'll look ... | |
