| What's your goal in system setup? I am generally a type II but I have had some type IV tendencies. I built my rack and all my power cords. Ultimately though I would rather turn things on and listen to music, once I get everything in place. I don't move my speakers around for each ... | |
| Aurios vs Stillpoints, any experience? Actually I ended up selling the Aurios and buying a set of points from TWL. I liked the Aurios but was not impressed with the stillpoints. They really didn't seem to do much of anything. I replaced all the things I had for feet with spikes and I'v... | |
| After 5 years, format war? What format war? I am at a loss to understand what people are talking about when they say redbook has improved so much. I know it has improved over the last twenty year, now it's almost listenable for something other than background noise. It still isn't very good... | |

| Talkin' bout YOUR generation... Glen I was surprised to see so many of the same recordings I would list. I was wondering who that was at my window with their ear pressed against the glass. I thought it was some kind of perv, but you were just their for the music. The rest of my ... | |
| I finally compared CD to vinyl and... ALC 777 does that mean that everything done to improve the sound of "Perfect Sound Forever" has really destroyed the quality of the recording? All that technological improvement and CDs sound worse! Well that explains a lot!Talk about a vacuous ar... | |
| I finally compared CD to vinyl and... Imagine how good LPs would sound with a fairly cheap newer table and a reasonable record cleaner. | |
| What was your first music that you paid for? My first was Queen "A Night at the Opera." I bought it at K-Mart and it lasted till my mother read the lyrics. They were not appropriate for our house! I bought it again several years later, but then it was just another LP in the collection. She n... | |
| Picture problems with DLP TV. Maybe it's a sign that you should turn off the TV and listen to some music. | |
| Stereophile confirms new gear is getting worse.... I can't defend or condemn what others have written in any of the rags/mags because I was not in their rooms listening through their systems with their biases, likes and dislikes. One issue to me anyway is that there is equipment I do not like, but... | |
