| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? I'll eat the mylar in my Martin-Logans when an article on the theoretical underpinnings of power cords appears in Science magazine. If the techonology of electro-magnetism wasn't already well understood we wouldn't be having this exchange over the... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? I agree with Bombaywalla. Personally, I'd rather remain stagnant than pushing the metaphysical boundaries of power cord neurotica. | |
| Replace amp or speakers ? Rkmca, why do you want to change amps? Is there something the PS Audio is doing, or not doing, that annoys you or otherwise leaves you unsatisfied? From your comments it appears that you haven't even heard the newer Rowlands. Comments by others st... | |
| Home recording studio questions At a minimum your friend will need a microphone, a mic preamp and a computer interface supporting analog, digital and MIDI I/O. The computer/software can handle the recording/mixing/editing functions. The computer he uses should have at least two ... | |
| Tube Amps and young children - avoiding burns etc. I can't think of any manufacturer that doesn't offer a protective cage as standard or as an option. Having a cage does not mean someone won't get burned since the cages can become hot themselves. High power tube amps needs massive amounts of venti... | |
| Steely Dan's Aja I don't know for sure, but it's probably already slated for hi-rez multichannel. Part of the bottleneck is that to do it right the original artists have to be involved. I suspect it's probably a question of time commitment on Fagen/Brecker's part. | |
| Who's the Cadillac of Hi-End Audio? The Lada comment is cold. BTW, I strongly recommend anyone interested in movies about Hollywood see "Get Shorty". It's hysterical. | |
| Amp for Martin Logan Ascent The Krell should work fine and for your size room I would definitelly recommend a sub, possibly even two. The M-L Descents or any of the mid sized REL subwoofers would work very well. You should also read a recent post on M-L stats by Audiokinesis... | |
| flat speaker quandary Nick, if you really loved the sound of your previous system, then no amount of tinkering will make the ML/McCormack sound like Maggies/B&K. It might actually be cheaper for you to admit that you have made a mistake and go back to what you had.... | |
| Becker and Fagen on Recording EMG in Analog The tracking was done to multitrack analog tape, but the editing and mixing was done digitally on ProTools. Also, Becker and Fagen have been known not to be completely "honest" in their interviews. They like to play jokes. | |
| Filling A Tubular Metal Rack? Unhalfbricking, when you were using sand was your sound lacking in dynamics? If there wasn't a problem, then why not just fill it back with sand.It also might help if you describe your room and system. | |
| flat speaker quandary Nick, Magnepan and Martin-Logan both make some excellent, high value speakers, but there are differences in their sonic signatures. From your comments I suspect that you really would be better off going with one of the newer Magnepan models rather... | |
| What will you be playing to celebrate? Gunbei, the attacks on the U.S. on 9/11 were the result of the internal politics of Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden wants to topple the Saudi government and one of his strategies is to show that the U.S., Saudi's greatest ally, is weak and ineffectual. 19... | |
| Buying and Selling of feedback I pay no attention to feedback. I find it totally unenlightening. Then again I won't buy any expensive items without actually meeting the seller. I once drove from Chicago to eastern Tennessee to buy a $3,000 amp. For me the time and effort were w... | |
| What will you be playing to celebrate? With a few exceptions, it appears that many have accepted the lie that the U.S. is in Iraq to liberate it's people. It's really about the oil. Flemke's reference to post WW2 Japan is interesting. If it really is analogous to the current situation ... |
