| Comments on Lucinda Williams "World Without Tears" I really like it. Can't compare it to "Essence" since I don't have it, but it's in the same general class as "Car Wheels.." | |
| Stylus pressure gauges If you have a Rockport or Walker (or some other $30,000+) turntable, then based upon the above testimony of actual users, the Winds seems to make alot of sense. Otherwise it's overkill. The cheap and simple Shure is more than sufficient the majori... | |
| Taste of Brazil. Do an AMG search on Jorge Ben and Chico Science. | |
| strobe light question This methold could cost you nothing and is very accurate. You'll need two pieces of tape (use a type that leaves no residue) and a stop watch/timer. Place one piece of tape on the platter and the other on the plinth. Place a record on the platter,... | |
| "Best" cable elevators? I use wood blocks (cedar) available at any grocery or hardware store for under $1 a block. They will lift the cables 3" above the floor. | |
| "Polyamping" A Look to the Future or Fancy Fad? On paper the idea makes alot of sense with the primary benefit coming from the use of an external active crossover network. However, with all things audio related, there is not a single path to better sound reproduction and polyamping has its own ... | |
| Does it matter where a CD is manufactured? I've been told that the answer is YES. Alot of it depends on the format of the "master" sent to the duplication plant and how they handle that format. If you send a DAT tape or a CD-R to the duplication plant, they will then convert it to an Exaby... | |
| why go against REL setup recommendation? The guidelines offered by Sumiko are excellent for subwoofer placement and setup. If you follow their recommednation you should be able to get deep, non-boomy bass. Of course it is possible that you room is such that corner placement is not the op... | |
| Back to the audio future, going backwards Nope. I meant what I said and said what I meant. | |
| Back to the audio future, going backwards At some point it makes sense to stop worrying about upgrading and instead just sit back and listen to the music. As someone pointed out above, no matter what you do it's never going to sound live.For myself if I went from dual RELs to a single REL... | |
| Speaker recommendations please Check out the Monitor Audio Studio and Gold series stand mounted speakers. Very easy to drive with good sensitivity. Will work well in a smallish room. They have good synergy with Musical Fidelity amps. | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? I've been riding for a little over twenty years, but I've never owned an H-D. In fact, I don't have any desire to own one either. That said I have respect for H-Ds and for those who ride them. The fact that Harley doesn't make a motorcycle that su... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? Asa, we live in a world where many problems (healthcare, clean water, nuclear proliferation, environmental degradation, etc.) are all technically solvable, but the political economic system does not encourage their implementation of these solution... | |
| Why is there so much Rowland gear for sale? The Harley-Davidson thing is so much more complex than any branding that occurs in the audiophile world. Either you understand The Motor Company or you don't.Hey Macrojack, it spelled M-c-D-O-N-A-L-D's. As the largest merchant of prepared food in ... | |
| A to D to SACD to A: A Natural Progression? Cwlondon, one word of caution - I don't know how loud the fan in the iMac is. I had to place my G4 within an enclosed cabinet in order to dampen the noise. Things are never as simple as they could be. |
