| Cable Synergy??? A new marketing strategy from cable manufacturers is the concept of the "loom" meaning all cables from the same manufacturer providing a synergy that can't be achieved by mixing and matching. Does it make an audible difference? I don't know but I ... | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Dordevic, I agree regarding the bass but planar bass is different from a dynamic driver. Some people simply don't like the way bass sounds through a planar. I hear the difference but can live with it considering all they do right.Wendell | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Realhifi, I've never heard them sound terrible, in any setup.I do find setup critical but not difficult and they benefit from the best amplification one can afford.Wendell | |
| JMW 10.5 vs SME V To clarify, I'm not suggesting which arm is best. I've owned the original JMW and a SME Mark IV. Both are excellent arms.I've not heard the new JMW and I've never owned a Mark V.Wendell | |
| B/Ray players, do they all boot up slow? All original models were pretty slow. Newer models are faster but, in my experience, none as fast as a stand-alone DVD player.Wendell | |
| JMW 10.5 vs SME V Live with the Classic for awhile before doing anything. You may find out you can sell the SME and recoup a good portion of the Classic's cost. If not, you'll be able to make an informed decision.Wendell | |
| Saw the Gregg Allman band last night. My favorite is "I'm No Angel". Great title track and solid album. It was released on vinyl which sounds quite good.Wendell | |
| Antenna for McIntosh MR 71`` Antennas are so geographic and terrain dependent. I use a inside whip that works for me but I'm close to the stations with no mountains to interfere.Wendell | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Fruff1976, it took eight years for you to decide the Magnaplanars weren't the speakers for you? I admire someone who doesn't make snap judgments. :-)Wendell | |
| Does Technology Trump Quality? Nothing trumps quality.Wendell | |
| New Magnepan 1.7 R Bill, diplomatic as ever. :-) I actually think their $350 speaker is pretty good. The rest of the line, not so much.Wendell | |
| Anyone Hear The Kinks Choral Collection? He performed on Letterman a few weeks ago. My wife loved it. Sounded odd to me when compared to the original.Wendell | |
| Best way to couple monitor speakers to stands? Blu-tack is very effective and offers the added advantage of not damaging the bottom of the speakers.Wendell | |
| Spade plugs for 16gauge cables Just use bare wire. Don't bother with spades of any other connector. The price is right and no risk in trying.Wendell | |
| Can the glass on a tube be repaired??? No. It is a "vacuum tube". Without the vacuum the tube is destroyed. |
