Will Magnetic Tape Eventually Go Full Circle ? Re.
No, you have to rewind it. 
Mobile Fidelity VS Re-mastered
Old MFSL has not aged well. They played with the EQ a lot and in many cases worsened the quality of the music. I bought a copy of The Chieftain's "The Long Black Veil" when it came out. I have liked this CD a lot since I first heard it. When I saw... 
Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004
Theaudiotweak you're right. Tom said there were several levels of the same amplifier that would be available. I'm not sure if the one they were using was the entry level, or a tricked out model like the one you describe. It was still the three sid... 
Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004
Labtec, I didn't mean to make it sound like $5000 speakers are cheap, since they are obviously not, but compared to many speaker systems they are relatively inexpensive. A person can spend a lot more, and a lot less. My thought was that for a dare... 
Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004
I wasn't at CES 2004, but I can comment on this years show. I walked into the Wavac room, listened for maybe one minute and hit the bricks. It wasn't worth sitting through. I heard better sound in rooms with $5000 amps.Best sound of the show was i... 
How many of you made it to CES 05??
I made it for Saturday and Sunday. Great traffic at Alexis Park, but CES seemed to be boycotting THE Show. There were lots of good displays @ THE Show that people missed because the CES literature did not contain information about the show right n... 
Help:need adjustable brass spikes f/speakers
Contact TWL for threaded spikes. I got a pair for my TT from him and they work very well. 
Can all amps drive a 4 ohm load?
I'm surprised that your manual doesn't have this information, but I'd be shocked if that amp would not drive a four ohm load. That doesn't of course mean that there are no amps that won't do it. 
sexiest sounding female vocalists?
Kehut, I have to agree that the new Jane Monheit CD is very good. I have a couple of her discs now. BUT sexy is another issue!?!Nobody really comes to mind, but I have really gotten to prefer females vocals in the last couple of years.I will be fo... 
Are you bored to tears with the topics lately?
Gunbei, I'm gonna laugh at you in person at CES! 
Are you bored to tears with the topics lately?
I still come on here almost every day, but there are rarely any threads that are worth responding to anymore!I don't mind people being friendly, but lets not get carried away with it! There's gotta be something to argue about... 
Whatever happened to these brands?
The guy from NRG was so abrasive that I think he drove all the business away! 
Purist Audio System Enhancer CD
I have used the Purist Burn-in disc for years. The old disc worked very well, but requires several days to do the job. The new disc is much faster, possibly cutting the time needed in half, or less.On principle I would never disagree with Sean, bu... 
best threads out there?
Gunbei, good call! The Territory Ahead really makes a quality product.I'm surprised by the Jack Victor recommendation! It's not a very well know product, and doesn't end in a vowel. Nordstrom's does carry a few good products!These are some of the ... 
best threads out there?
Warrenh, you need to check out Missoni socks, and maybe Marzotto suits/sportcoats. Zanella makes great trousers as do Hickey Freeman! Now those are great threads.One of the most amusing threads I have read was: How did you get started in this hobby?
