| Reading threads and posts when selling and buying Audiogon is a community, on-line, but still a community. One attribute of a community is the concept of sharing /reciprocity. If someone on Audiogon doesn't want to share their system with fellow Audiogon community members, so be it. I'm sure they... | |
| Digital inputs in high end 2-channel preamps There are products from Bryston, Meridian, Stello, Grace, Accuphase and Goldmund that I know of in addition to the Boulder mentioned above. I can only assume there are others. | |
| Reading threads and posts when selling and buying I do too, but when a person has participated in a large number of threads and hasn't posted their system it makes me very wary. | |
| Digital inputs in high end 2-channel preamps I think the convergence of preamp and D/A converters will accelerate. There are any number of D/As that function as preamps. I believe Theta was the first to do it, but there are excellent to state of the art offerings from Benchmark, MSB, Wadia a... | |
| The sound of glasswear Are your Revels tube friendly? | |
| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? High end audio doesn't have to cost that much. It's more about your attitude and your willingness to be obsessive about setup and room acoustics than expensive equipment.If you live in a metro area or near a major university Craigslist, thrift sho... | |
| British sound??? The BBC established specific design criteria for several monitoring situations. There's a whole series of them - 3/5, 3/6, 5/1, 5/8, 5/9, etc. I believe the numbers have something to do with the intended size of the studio where they will be used?... | |
| mcintosh c42 vs c46 experience? I have a C42 and think it's a wonderful preamp, but it is not the last word in transparency and detail. At its worst it masks subtle differences in recordings. For some that's a big problem. For others the rich tonality, flexible input/outputs, 8 ... | |
| Volume control vs. attenuation control All volume controls are attenuators. Gain stages amplify the electrical signal and attenuators, either before or after a gain stage, reduce the level of the signal.The setup up Markpao describes will allow him to play with both attenuators to achi... | |
| How do I know if iTunes files are all 'lossless'? An easier way is to go to your main Music playlist and from the top menu select "View", choose "View Options" and click the box marked "Kind". It will then generate a column showing the kind of file each song is. | |
| stupid question about sources, amps, and loudness I do not think your current set up has any gain mismatch issues. If you are listening at the 9 or 10 o'clock position, it is okay. I would say you have a problem only if you are always below 8 o'clock.The factors involved are the output of your di... | |
| The Feelies are back IMDB list the band as the Willies as played by the Feelies. | |
| Telefunken 6AS7 I'd stay with the RCAs. They're cheap and plentiful. You don't worry about them going bad and how you would replace them. If you want to experiment try the military 6080 which is available under RCA, GE or Sylvania labels. I have no idea about the... | |
| The Feelies are back Martykl, I'm not knocking the albums, I'm just making a distinction. I saw them live in 1979/80 about a half dozen times and was overwhelmed by their sound. They were so good! The albums are very good, but they are different. I'm just glad I had c... | |
| The Feelies are back A great band, but their studio recordings are a pale shadow of the energy they could generate at live shows. It's a day/night difference.Trivia - they are the band playing at the high school reunion in "Something Wild". The do Bowie/Lennon's "Fame". |
