| "Breathing" of the air Steve Hoffman, the well-known recording engineer calls it the "Breath of Life". I might as well let him explain it. Browse this page of his website. It's fun and you'll learn a lot:http://www.stevehoffman.tv/dhinterviews/ | |
| Recommendations for solid core speaker wiring? From a theoreticall/electrically pure point of view, no one can really argue with the Speltz solution. They are available only in one gauge however, and unless used in short runs (I'd say under 1.5 M or 4.5 ft.) could be susceptable to mechanical ... | |
| Is It Worth $28 Million? I think it's already been sold off to a number of different buyers and pieces of it are now showing up on eBay. According to one friend of mine in the biz, "This guy has become sort of famous amongst a few of us in the industry - we're all sort of... | |
| Any audiophile who is on blood pressure medication Listen to Albert's advice. Bother the living daylights out of your doctor (or his/her receptionist) until they find a med that works for you -- and believe me there IS one! It's no longer enough just to be the squeaky-est wheel -- you have to SCRE... | |
| Difference between McIntosh MR65 and MR65B Did you know Aaron Russo was Bette Midler's original manager/producer (gosh I wish I could get that sort of data out of my head!!) Yeah, for this country to finally realize it's promise, the illegal Fed. Res. and the illegal IRS will both have to ... | |
| Difference between McIntosh MR65 and MR65B Jimmy, the 71 has that SDS? unit (almost worthless then and totally worthless now ;-) It's the smaller square black can and was for tuning private/subscriber Muzak-type programming that some regular broadcasters attached to their primary signal. A... | |
| straight wire maestro 1 or 2 Actually no. The v.2 RCA plugs are beefier, and both the IC and SC have slightly heavier clear jacket material, but that's about it as far as I could tell when I took them apart. They are STILL great cables and a real bargain on the used market --... | |
| Best Martin Logans for under $2000 used? I totally agree w/ Rloggie, (except I still have mine ;-) You can't really go wrong with the earlier CLS models either and tube amps (see my system) are definitely the way to go since you're only driving a stat panel. Now that the transient respon... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones I suppose the next step will be radioactive fuses.as your amp disappears in a small mushroom cloud!. | |
| Mark Levinson No 25S: still holds its own? Paul, don't worry, you'll probably never part with it! I'd have to get a lot of money to sell mine. What kind of cartridge are you using, I might be able to help you with loading tips if you like.Neil | |
| Anyone using two McIntosh 275's in bridged mono? Just FYI guys, it's 90/180 watts, not 75/150. McIntosh just wanted to keep the '75' badging but the pwr. tranny is now 490V ;-)Rick, did the soundstage improve after you changed the tubes? | |
| Mark Levinson No 25S: still holds its own? I can't praise this phono pre highly enough. I don't know what you're paying, because at some point you could probably do as well getting something else.Including the separate power supply, they were $4400 back in 1995, which is at least $6500 tod... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Dvrs -- some manufacturers are doing that -- such as Dan Wright of Modwright who posted some comments here. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Isanchez -- thanks for such a complete report - yes, you were using your own ears, but this was a comparative exercise to begin with. And thanks for comfirming (my for now mere speculation) that vibration might be the main problem (I hold nothing ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Pubul57, thanks for the lead. Starting with that, I eventually found this US company, sand-filled ceramic, fast and slo blo, all sizes, UL approved. I'm going to try some!http://okwelec.com/products/camden/fuses/ceramic-fuse.htm |
