| Some Questions about Plasma Screens With the plasma TV bought just a year ago, I've got burn-in from the black pillar bars on either side of the screen. Apparently, because so many of the shows I watch are 4:3 formatted, the black bars burned in and now show up as "shadows" when I'm... | |
| Is the Mark Levinson 333 still a GOOD amp??? The ML is a great amp, bettered only by the 335 and 336. The 300 series was plagued by bad caps. A costly replacement at around $1000 if you get unlucky. I owned a 332, 333 and 336 and never had a cap issue. If you can get the 333 at a good price,... | |
| Phono hum I have a VPI Scoutmaster with the same cartridge, same problem. The only fix I could find was using a PS Audio GCPH phono preamp. Completely eliminated the hum. Switching power cords, cables, grounds, using RFI/EMF shielding did next to nothing to... | |
| Phono Pre Amp $1K or less? The PS Audio GCPH is a phenomenal buy at under $1000. I tried many phono pre-amps costing up to $3500 and this little unit matched or bettered most. Very versatile, well-built, balanced circuitry.For $350 more you can get the Underwood/Part Connex... | |
| ARC LS17 vs Aesthesix Calypso Jwc37 brings up a good point about Aesthetix: They are fantastic to deal with. Jim White and Glenn Buckley are two of the nicest guys in Audioland. | |
| ARC LS17 vs Aesthesix Calypso I own the ML Summits too and think the Calypso sounds wonderful paired with it.Email me if you have additional questions. | |
| Martin Logan Summit vs. Odessy Yes. The Summit does everything better with a smaller footprint. Most folks feel the Summits represent MLs best attempt at integrating the low frequencies with the mids and highs. | |
| Springsteen's "Magic" on vinyl, opinions? There's another post here that confirms Brendan O'Brien ruined an otherwise fine album with poor production and mixing. The consensus is he mixed the album to be played through iPod earphones. Vinyl isn't much of an improvement: Garbage in, garbag... | |
| Pairing Aesthetix Calypso w/ Pass Labs or Plinius? I own the Calypso and a Pass 350.5, and it's a beautiful combination. | |
| From Pass X250,5 to 350,5 : what to expect? Having gone from 200 to 300 watts with both Levinson and Pass amps, driving fairly inefficient speakers, I can confirm that more power is better. Better dynamics, better headroom, better low-end control. The only sacrifice for these considerable b... | |
| Has anyone updated Senn HD650 cable? Yes, I did: Revelation Audio Labs cable. Some improvement was gained, like better resolution and increased dynamics. It's a much higher quality cable than what Sennheiser provides and worth the investment if you're a serious listener. | |
| Pet audiophile peeves - name yours Deadbeats who say they're going to buy something, then don't.Or, in the case of one recent lowlife from A'Gon, say they'll sell something to you at an agreed-upon price, then renege and try to squeeze you for a higher price. (This particular jerk ... | |
| Just installed Cathedral Sound Panels Tbg,Thanks for the English lesson (my typing skills are another matter), but I DID mean no negligible effect. As in, they had no effect that I could hear. | |
| DIY cable cooker for power cables? Male IEC? Hi,Actually, I have several of the cable connectors you're looking for and they work great hooked up to a refrigerator. If you're in interested in purchasing a pair or two (they're brand new) just email me.Thanks. | |
