| Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami Hi all; and wishing you a reflective Memorial Day. This is no place for politics, but I would encourage everyone to watch Adm. Mullen's comments this morning, essentially the same remarks, on all three networks!First, I want to make a general comm... | |
| Long XLR's: PAD Venustas versus Mogami I use PAD Venustas systemwide. Using all Purist cabling (and of a single model -- mostly) makes the synergy obtained with a single cable solution a REAL and AMAZING EXPERIENCE! This phenomenon is often raised, but I never heard it so well demonstr... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Tennis, I think you are referring to the "Golden Rule" (part of a moral/ethical belief system) . . Right?The Golden Mean, or Golden Section as it's sometimes called, refers to a two-dimensional construct (a specific angle) which is derived using g... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight I just ran across this thread (with all the usual suspects! ;--) so excuse my late arrival to the party ;--( I read all the posts and still have some questions (maybe I didn't read carefully enough?) But I'll try and keep it simple:1.) With my SME... | |
| Silver Breeze or Purist Audio Venustas phono cable Why don't you A-B them? Albert Porter can probably get you a Venustas; and Max will let you audition a Silver Breeze for a month or so.They are certainly two outstanding choices. I was just about to audition the Silver Breeze, but went to CES that... | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I guess it comes down to where you live in terms of what's available to listen to. But I seriously doubt the FM band itself is going to disappear anytime soon. It's free and belongs to the public just like AM. So they (the rich and powerful broadc... | |
| Help with stylus cleaning Ever since Doug Deacon introduced us to the ME, that's it! (followed by a 'touch' in the Onzow or a flick w/ a camel hair brush to remove any debris from the ME) The ME will remove stuff that nothing else will (confirmed w/ high-power pocket scope... | |
| New speakers from Martin Logan, Ethos $6495 Audioman: Subwoofer designers have been putting accelerometers on woofer cones since Arnie Nudell started Infinity (the ServoStatik One) They are part of a feedback loop that makes sure the motion of the woofer follows the (bass part of the) incom... | |
| Tonearm cable recommendations... The VDH MC P-502 is the 'yuk-iest' tonearm cable I ever heard! Why SME persists in supplying them with their best tonearms I will never understand!Had I not scored an amazing deal on a Purist Venustas a few years ago, the Silver Breeze is the wors... | |
| Setting up monoblocks Wouldn't using a pair of these amplifiers to drive a pair of front and rear speakers be the equilavent of putting a surround receiver on the "all channels stereo" setting? It's can be nice for room filling sound but is certainly not for critical l... | |
| Setting up monoblocks Eagle . . . . before you start having anxiety attacks over mixing speaker impedances, etc, first consult your owner's manual. Most amps that have include multiple speaker switching, like yours, will automaticall insert some additional resistance i... | |
| Setting up monoblocks Dear Eagleflyerfan:Twenty seconds ago, I was utterly unfamiliar with your amplifier -- and judging from their responses, so are Mssrs. Rmwear, Tom6897, and Mceljo.However, twenty seconds is all it took for me to go from this AudiogoN page, to Goog... | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Has no one here on AgoN heard of, or used, PayPal's personal money transfer function? No fee involved! You don't get Buyer Protection on private sales anyway -- why pay for it? | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr . . . . . and of your ilk, experience is not expressed ;--))By "normal hearing", I simply meant "not stone deaf"!Tbg, my post was actually in support of your position -- don't know how you thought otherwise; or reacted defensively . . . peace brot... | |
| Synergistic Research Acoustic ART analogue room tr "Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd." - VoltaireI believe there is a causal explanation for anything we can observe -- and that includes our own sometimes over-active imaginations ;--) It's certainly true that (current) sci... |
