| Norah Jones No, not everyone will agree with Schubert's comments and it is arrogant of you to think they haven't thought about it. It really is pretty much that simple.Right now I'm listening to Norah's "Not Too Late" and enjoying her music immensely. | |
| Room size & choosing speakers The Wilson Duette would be an excellent choice in that they are designed for flexible room placement. They also don't need a subwoofer for music. They will work best with high powered solid state. I'd recommend integrateds from Rowland, Hegel, McI... | |
| Norah Jones Once again you misread. The example cited in the Wiki article references giving WW2 soldiers the third best weaponry. The Germans had the best tanks, but the US and the Russians had more tanks. In this case of recent history the good triumphed ove... | |
| Norah Jones I don't think Schubert really understands what he said with his apparent misquote. Then again, may be he's never missed an airplane. | |

| Sub-woofer fast enough for Horns? The OP has not even said what loudspeaker he is trying to match with a sub. There is not enough info to make an informed recommendation. | |
| Do I Have the Wrong Cartridge? The Rega is a very high output cartridge, but if it was overloading the phono stage it would do so on the rock recordings just as easily if not moreso than the classical records. The same goes for issues of gain and capacitance settings. Other Reg... | |
| How to test balance between right and left channel A SPL meter plus a source that provides separate left and right channel signals. I believe there are cell phone apps that provide common SPL meter functions. | |
| VPI Super Platter out of square-will it work? On what basis are you asking the seller for a refund? | |
| If you had a Benz cartridge would you let someone I did not lightly make my decision to not use the Benz factory to refurb my cartridge. I would have preferred to have done what I always did in the past, simply exchange my cartridge for a current Ruby. The two previous times I did this the cost w... | |
| Downloading & Converting Music If your file format doesn't maintain metadata are you setting yourself up for a potential disaster? Under what circumstances will your audio player just show "track 01", "track 02" etc.? | |
