| Confessions I'm a huge Def Leppard fan, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. But I'm also the kind of guy who will pick up Tool, Sarah Brightman, Radiohead and Michael Hedges all in the same purchase. | |
| Galibier questions I would also be interested in the effect of the Boston Audio graphite mat on a solid acrylic platter (like the old Teres 240 platter). | |
| Help with integrated amp purchase Have you considered the Ayre AX-7e? | |
| New Green Mountain Audio Website I also believe GMA speakers look far better in person than in photographs. Although I think those Calypsos look pretty damn sexy in every shot I've seen. It's all a matter taste. But perhaps I'm forgiving because I know how they sound. | |
| The disappearing $500 turntable The Technics. | |
| Anyone permanently convert from tubes to SS? Here's my standard response...I've had tubes for years and loved them. I mean really loved them. However, there are compromises I'm willing to make because 1) I want something I can leave on 24x7, 2) I need something that doesn't generate as much ... | |
| tonearm geometry question If you really want to get into the details of a Baerwald geometry, you could check out his paper on "Analytic Treatment of Tracking Error and notes on Optimal Pick-up Design" over at http://www.helices.org/auDio/turnTable/baerwald.pdf.Yeah..I'm no... | |
| tonearm geometry question I think I understand what you are asking, and the answer is simple, but the mathematics behind the answer are not. If you use the geometry defined by Baerwald, there are actually 2 points along the arc that provide 0 tracking error. These are your... | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD I agree:Paper sleeves - Better than expected.Re-sealable outer sleeves - Sucks.I still wish they would have released them in a jewelbox like the MFSL Ryan Adams "Heartbreaker" hybrid CD / SACD.As for their first release...if you don't like the re-... | |

| Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200? I hate it when people say "if you could find just a few more dollars..." but, if you could find a few more dollars, try to find a used Ayre AX-7e. I believe the B&W 805s has a first-order crossover, but cannot say if they are time and phase al... | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD Just got mine today. I wasn't particularly excited about the Japanese paper sleves, but they are actually quite nice. I've spun "Spiritchaser" but haven't done any critical listening (just got in from driving from Omaha to Dallas).However, I do ha... | |
| Dead Can Dance on SACD I called MD but didn't get a really good answer about what is different in the "extremely rare and very hard to find Dead Can Dance SACD Box Set". The rep said you just get the CD's in the bundle, but you get the box and some booklets in the "extr... | |
| Micro Fiber Cloth for Record Cleaning I just set my father up with the $5 Wal-mart analog cleaning kit:2 microfiber pads (from auto department) - One for a damp clean - One for a dry clean1 bottle of 91% alcohol1 box of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers | |
| What's your speaker IQ, and the best speaker? This is still a ridiculous thread. When you listen to a "speaker", what are you really listening to? The room? The power cord on the CD player? The brilliant pebbles? The cryo'ed CD-R? The broken-in tonearm wire? The NOS tubes? The salesman?It cra... |
