| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? Psychicanimal, I agree that neutral is neutral from an observational or judging perspective. However, for cables or individual components, I'd propose that "neutral in a system is neutral in a system". Cables have differing inductance, resistance ... | |
| Good, Neutral, Reasonably Priced Cables? One of the challenges in this hobby is that everything is systems dependent. A cable that is neutral in one system may not be in another. For example, Mikesinger reports outstanding findings with the au-24 and I don't doubt him. Many have reported... | |
| Quiet refrigerators? Mknowles, Sub-Zero has, by far, the worst brand repair history among top and bottom freezers with icemakers. It is among the worst (with Amana, Frigidaire and Maytag) for side-by-sides. This per the most recent Consumer Reports. My earlier comment... | |
| Trouble letting go? It's nice to have extra equipment about in the event all you have is fried by a lightning strike. At least that's how I justify it ;-) Jc2000 has it nailed. | |
| Quiet refrigerators? A number of refrigerators have "quiet packages" and cost under $1,000. Check out the GE or Maytag websites for example. You may be able to get an actual db reading on those sites. I tried to get to my Consumer Reports website for specific info but... | |
| Listening Fatigue Every situation is different. I agree with all the posts but the culprit in anyone's system (including environment) can vary. Generally, for me, brightness is what causes fatigue and from my experience is normally due to a "hard" environment with ... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers Hi George, welcome to posting on Audiogon. From your other posts, you are obviously a fan of Biro speakers -- I assume you're not affiliated with the company. Could you share your impressions compared to other speakers and perhaps tell us how you ... | |
| AR Turntable ToneArm I have a Linn Basik Plus arm on mine. | |
| Thiel 6 versus 7.2 To my ears, the 7.2 is a finer speaker than the 6 and is especially useful in a large space, which requires a larger bass presence. Having said that, I listened to the 6 and 7.2 side by side for a couple of hours six+ years ago and ended up buying... | |
| New Audiogon Categories? Great ideas. A "Non-Audio" section, separating the types of cables and adding a "Parts" section all make a lot of sense -- as do the price range searches. The "Non-Audio" threads could be separated out so as to not appear on the list of audio thre... | |
| power interuption I'm not sure if it is the best device, but the backup power supplies for personal computers work well. They are a little pricey, depending on how many you need, but are great for intermittent short breaks in power.For example,http://logicbox.zoovy... | |
| Just a thought "Over the Rainbow" is on the Songbird album. Fine collection of songs! | |
| Tell us compliments received on your system... Hooper, it is worth something! It might be worth another upgrade in the future ;-) Just think how hard it would be to convince her if your investment didn't sound good now. | |
| Native American Music Budrew & Rec, do those recordings also include percussion? Thanks (I'm a big fan of all kinds of percussion). | |
| Just a thought It's sad indeed. Eva's voice was superbly clear and clean with an amazing quality of understated projection. She remains a regular part of our lives through her music. I'm glad she was able to leave such a wonderful legacy for us. |
