| How is it ? that a tuner smokes the table ??? Hard to believe but I am inclined to agree. Somewhat. Directly streamed live performances are really sound great than if it were recorded and played back at the radio station. Listen to for example, the LA NPR station 89.9 FM. (not 89.3 FM in this... | |
| Baby name opinion.... I named my second daughter 'Chanel' after the perfume Chanel No 5. Friends call her Channel ;-) because it is tough to pronounce Chanel.If I had third daughter I would have called her Coco or Fendi.Some other faminine names suggestions: Harmony, M... | |
| Digital cable optimal length? Excellent info Al. Now it is much clear as to what is happening. So then, is it possible to precisely calculate optimum( high success rate) length for 44.1/16 bit data transmittal? I am getting greedy here. Is 4 m better than 3 m. I am sure I won'... | |
| Digital cable optimal length? Yes, Indeed Al. Thanks for elaborate clarification. It is much more clear now.Thanks Roadmann99999 for the link. I had Canare once. $32 for 3 m digital cable is a surely a bargain. May be for me the solution would be to bring my other transport cl... | |
| Digital cable optimal length? Thanks Tobias, Almarg. I did search under 'length' and found more results. I quite don't understand the technical rationale other than maintaining certain impedance, I do believe that it would be unwise for me to buy longer cable to just try out, ... | |
| Outstanding brands? Detlof, you are correct. When I had MBL 6010d pre and 9008a monos, guitar string plucks were indeed 'like a rope' as you once said. I have heard an all ( including ref digital front end) MBL system set up right, once in a big room ( really wide- t... | |
| Outstanding brands? Oops. Leaving=living. Gotta do spell check;-) | |
| Outstanding brands? "Just learned that zanden when set up correctly is simply one fine system"Absolutely agree. As I am leaving with one for now over a year, progressively built, now complete with simply astounding 9600 monos. Simply unbelievable. Other all one make ... | |
| Does anyone or does everyone pay retail price? I paid retail once, the very first time I bought hi-end amp. I had bought whole system for 15% off at first, then found out the 200 w amps not good enough. To upgrade within first month to 400 w amp, i had to pay full price for the amp. It was wor... | |
| The Black Keys: Where to Start You don't have to ask ! Just get everything from the black keys. While you are at it, get Dan Aurebach's 'keep it hid' also. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Oh yes, Dan Auerbach's Keep it hid is worth noting too. | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far Just picked up u2's no line on the horizon. Exquisite. This from U2 and Bono non fan. | |
| Heavy Power Cords Most after market powercords have Iec plug designed with interference fit in mind. They should work if you do plug once and forget about it. But I guess interference fit does 'wear out' over time.Like the Fpeel's teflon tape idea the best. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? "Some of those CD's could be digital versions of RCA "Shaded Dogs."Or Tom Waits' Rain DogsOr simply you are not a dog (CD) person ;-) | |
| You're probably listening too loud Good points Detlof and Shadorne. The real instruments are dynamic and have overtones and (don't forget) undertones depending upon which instruments and notes you are talking about. Cello or Acoustic guitar will sound louder in lower mid, since und... |
