| New or Old CD Player? Elizabeth + 1. I agree that a really good SACD player makes for a great CD player. I have tha Marantz SA-15S-2b and my CDs sound wonderful. Also, Matej Isak of Mono & Stereo feels that outside of the recording studio, he's yet to hear anything... | |
| Missing the forest for the trees It’s such a great hobby and so full of personal passion that many hobbyist become tied to their system as if it were alive (like a close friend).I like that. A lot. I think we can all relate. Having said that, I appreciate the forest for the trees... | |
| Some of the Worst Offenders in Bad Audio Forum Behavior Are Not Regular Forum Members I agree with everything stated so far as there are many ways a forum can be handled. It seems to all boil down to the integrity of the individual. Forum members can be anonymous and maintain levels of civility but that is not always the case, as s... | |
| Are We Different? @bensturgeon, it can be anything in the music that I can relate to while I listen. Kind of hard to pin down, actually. I think the two terms, "openness to experience" and "sensory seeking" are tied in the way that one can lead to the other, in som... | |
| Changes that made a difference (in order of effect). After reading Al's post, I was reminded of another improvement along the lines of his 6th mention. I replaced my Blue Circle Thingee (a 6 outlet conditioner) with a couple of Chris Cullen's power strips. They are hard wired (no IEC inlet) with a c... | |
| Are We Different? @david_ten To think that 51 cultures have the same experiences furthers your belief that it is indeed one of many aspects of personality.I'm just glad I can, and continue to, experience it. 😄It's the part of listening I look forward to.All the be... | |
| Are We Different? We are different, and I believe it’s more than two types though they would dominate the spectrum. A while ago I posted about frisson and how I react to certain sounds and music. It apparently went over a lot of heads as those that did respond felt... | |
| Changes that made a difference (in order of effect). 1) Fuses. Simply helps to lower the noise floor allowing more to be heard. Not the expensive ones either (mine were $35 apiece)2) Going to a bigger gauge speaker cable and keeping it a single, solid core with bare ends. That, and having e... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses And your on the hit list also sunshine.A troll that threatens, and runs to the mods to get posts deleted. I'm quivering in my boots. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses Cheers George (potential forum cop)Does that come with a plastic badge? | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses And still the trolls persist. If only they had the courage of their convictions and grew a pair, starting their very own thread denouncing fuses. They seem to enjoy dropping turds in punchbowls and slapping each other on the back.They can call the... | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses It doesn't take a careful reading of George's last posting to see that it's his mission statement to be as big a troll as he can. Thanks, George, for finally telling the truth. If you don't feed the trolls, this thread can survive. All the best,No... | |
| Any Way To Damp Ringing Stands Without Adding Weight??? Try some constrained layer damping material like they use in cars to quell road noise. It can be applied to sections that aren't visible or noticeable. You needn't cover the entire surface, just some portion and it can deaden entire sections of su... | |
| Aftermarket Fuses @highstream Thanks for the link. Looks like Brimar is stepping up their game a bit. By the by, the regular $35 fuse is quite something on it's own and maybe the equal of some of the more expensive ones out there.All the best,Nonoise | |
| Aftermarket Fuses @highstream Are you sure the Brimar fuses are out of your price bracket? They are only $35 apiece, far below the $150 for the SR Blue and farther still below the Beeswax fuses. Maybe you were thinking of another brand?All the best,Nonoise |
