| Difference in quality in products made in China? Quality can be found in China but their labor market is shrinking fast, lowering the level of skilled labor available. Those who are already established in Chinese markets have the pick of the labor. China is also based on a very old system of loc... | |
| Killer combination of silver and copper doubles Springbok10,Welcome to the party. If you look at past threads, this has been discussed and appreciated (by me too) in that it appears to work. There is care to be taken but I can't remember now what it was. Nothing serious though. I've always felt... | |
| Accuphase or Esoteric? I just stumbled across this thread and feel that Audiozen is onto something. Presently, I'm breaking in the Marantz SA-15S2b and am simply taken aback at what I'm hearing. It's still early and it's my first SACD player but it's making me rethink m... | |
| a crazy free audiophile tweak Ah, nothing like listening to the grass grow.Now I get it. | |
| a crazy free audiophile tweak Would the first one be for near field listening? | |
| Distance makes the heart grow fonder. Right there with you. There are times when I don't listen for a week (more or less) and then I come to the realization that I haven't been listening, muse over it for a minute, and then pick out an especially nice piece of music and relish it all ... | |
| Should Sound Quality of Computer Audio be improved Agreed. Lots of them critters making their way to your PC. I also noticed in the new Audio Advisor catalog the new NAD CD Rip-N-Spin-Play that can be used with their own storage base but seems to be limited to 24/96. But, the big sell is look-ma-n... | |
| Better sounding after 1 hour I have a noticeable improvement after 1/2 an hour. Incremental after that, but it does continue to improve for another 1/2 an hour, and that is with my integrated. I leave my CDP on 24/7 as it's draw is negligible so I don't worry about waste and ... | |
| Marantz SA-14 acting up I had a similar problem on a Consonance CDP and it turned out to be a micro switch. It didn't happen all the time but enough to annoy me. Then it happened more frequently and luckily it was under warranty. With labor going at around $65/hr just to... | |

| Why are wireless headphones so rare? Back in my day, while walking through waist deep snow 2 miles to school with a hot potato in my hands, we tied a transistor radio to our neck and it was good enough. | |
| Does Mc Intosh make reference gear Those seen leaving Al Gore's place were observed to buy cartons of Camel cigarettes no doubt due to the subtle, golden camel logo on the front of those amps. Steganographic clues abound if you look close or long enough at something. Let us not for... | |
| Does Mc Intosh make reference gear Not enough credit is given to Al Gore. He started the first penal colony down under, spawning all that cheap labor which eventually found its way to a small group of hobbyists who happened to dabble in audio.Al then successfully led the Aussie inv... | |
| Does Mc Intosh make reference gear I'm glad no one is beating up on Burson gear. My hackles/dander would be up.Add to that the Aussie invasion debate and this thread would go on forever. |
