| What would you do about a sleazy buyer?? I agree w/ Griswold, you jerked someone around and then you got jerked. Is it justice? Probably not, of the three people involved you definitely got the worst of the deal. In direct answer to your question, you should do nothing to your local non-... | |
| "Redbook" meaning? The book that Philips/Sony put out with the format's specifications originally had a red cover. | |
| "Pro" Active Monitors Reference quality is something of an over statement, but the Tannoys will provide you will high quality sound. I personally prefer the JBL LSR28Ps (available for less than $1,400 pr.). Spendor, Mackie and ATC also make superior quality active moni... | |
| Great music in bad commercials - what can you do? I'm shocked! I'm truly shocked! Imagine somebody using music for crass commercial purposes. In a way this is a variation of hero worship. Just because someone is talented, athletic or beautiful, we as fans assume that these people share our politi... | |
| What is "Clipping"? Clipping is not just a factor in power amplifiers. Any active circuit can be driven into clipping. When the signal is clipped, harmonically unrelated overtones at unnatural levels are introduced into the music. As a rule, analog circuits clip more... | |
| Recording levels on CD-R/Distortion Apparent loudness is a function of the average signal level. A recording engineer can make a recording sound very loud by increasing the average signal level and limiting (eliminating) signal peaks. Music recorded at a lower overall level has the ... | |
| Pros and Cons of Platter Mass Albertporter makes solid sense and as a practical matter a high mass platter is the way to go. On the impractical side, it's interesting to note that Andy Payor's Rockport turntable uses a direct drive motor that is capable of speed accuracy in th... | |
| could someone help with this composition What's up with Wagner? It's the "Kill the Rabbit" theme from "What's Opera Doc?" | |
| Pros and Cons of Platter Mass I hope this doesn't qualify as a freak argument, but I believe the ideal turntable platter would be close to no platter at all (the low mass concept taken to an extreme). The platter serves only two purposes, first it provides a place for the disc... | |
| Convert Me Does the Lexicon have a true analog pass through or does it digitize all of its inputs? If the latter, then going to vinyl won't make much sense. | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers Obviously some people have a serious problem with rap/hip-hop. More than just not liking the music, they seem to dislike what rap represents. I suspect that rap artists wouldn't have it any other way. As a form of expression rap music is created b... | |
| Greatest Songwriter of all time It's always good to hear other peoples musical choices. You may not always agree, but that's not really the point. For instance, as much as I love Bob Dylan - just look at my name - I've never thought of him as a "song" writer. He's rock n' roll's... | |
| Copy-protected CDs - philosophical discussion Music software sales fell by 5% in 2001 compared to 2000. The best selling software in December for Wintel machines was Easy CD Creator; the Mac best seller for the same month was Toast, another CD burning software. It's easy to see why record com... | |
| The big audiophile dilem In another thread on 1/18 you said that your Transparent References were a "really great match" for the Mini-Utopias. Has anything really changed in less than two weeks? | |
| Record Cleaning - Cartridge Damage The way I heard it the stylus cleaning fluid could migrate up the cantilever to the suspension (capillary action?). Your record cleaning should have no effect on the cartridge. Fumes are a non-issue. BTW, you shouldn't have to clean the same recor... |
