| Wrapping Up 2016 Every new year brings us all closer to our last year. That sobering observation reminds me of what someone said quite awhile ago: "I should have made more mistakes."Then there's: "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I have the Supra 2.5 and 3.4W speaker cables and they do have a wonderful sound to them, albeit at the expense of some detail and higher end info (shimmer, presence and decay). Don't get me wrong. In the right system they can lull you into la la l... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? It sounds like you simply reinforced some expectation and preference bias into a slanted test. The power of suggestion is not to be discounted. You don’t come across much different than the salesman. I agree that most cables are way overpriced, bu... | |
| MARANTZ NEW REFERENCE 10 SERIES I have the PM-15S2b integrated and SACD player and would love to have this beast with 200W/channel and matching SACD player that can handle all digital needs. Too bad Santa's bag wasn't big enough.All the best,Nonoise | |
| *****Merry Christmas Everyone***** Wishing all here the best of what's left of this year,and an even better next year, at least in all things audio.I don't know about anyone else but I'm getting an itch again.... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Frank,Your story about your time at the SR demo in Newport and that guy's sneering reaction reminds me of an old "friend" I used to hang around with back in the day. I have more than a sneaking suspicion that that sneering guy heard the difference... | |
| can we get to the bottom of what "rare" means in a FS banner Starting the eggnog early, eh? | |
| Lemon HiFi-Tuning Fuse? I'm sure it's just a one-off. I've got about 6 of them in my components and they've been fine for a few years so far. Knock on wood.All the best,Nonoise | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism First worm out of the can.It used to be conventional wisdom that treating the edge of the CD with a green marker would lessen the scattering of the laser's reflection while reading the disc, or something like that. That also led to whole disc cove... | |
| Securing Monitors to a stand I set my monitors directly on their maple stands. The stands were made to fit the size of the speaker and they are fairly secure the way they are. I tired using Herbie's BF Dots but they muddied up the sound. Sitting directly on the stands gives t... | |
| MIT Cables new "Articulation Control Console" $45.000 for speaker cables? Oligarchs need the best you can buy for them.You just don't know it.Yet. | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Shake, rattle and troll.Everyone should just agree to disagree and move on. This thread has more legs than a centipede. | |
| Power cords for UHD Blue ray. I went from stock to GTT PCs (those flexible blue cables with clear molded ends) and the picture was better. Anyone could see the difference. What really improved the picture was when I tried some Cullen PCs. I have a plasma TV and thought the bla... | |
| DEAR AUDIOGON STAFF: Please remove/fix floating ads that block what we are reading!!! I agree with dill. I've never noticed what you're describing as I have Ghostery installed on my iMac as well. That, and AdBlock, are wonderful aids. All the best,Nonoise | |
| Warm-up time for amps and preamps I believe rvpiano said it best. There’s been lots of threads about this already. One member mentioned awhile ago that a SACD player needs to be on for about 2-3 days to sound its best. Others have stated that SS gear needs to be on 24/7 unless not... |
