| Herman eats crow, RRL record cleaning fluids work Thanks for the post. I am just getting back to vinyl and appreciate any tips I can get. BTW, kudos on being objective enough to say "wow!" even when you didn't think you would ;-) I hope and strive to do that consistently, but I suspect my pride s... | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios Irish, if Thiel recommends the Krell, I'd wait to see how that combo works before spending too much time on evaluating other amps. With a room that big, you definately need some hefty speakers (or near field listening preferences). Good luck -- le... | |
| Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios Between the two, I prefer the Thiels because they are so revealing. For my taste, the Revels are too laid back. I fully support Jdevine's observations about the great customer service at Thiel. But, from my experience, the Thiels can be a bit hars... | |
| Origin Live's Aurora, Aurora Gold and Resolution ? I've not heard them, but Bound for Sound had a very positive review of the Aurora (Gold?) a couple of months ago and Stereophile has a very positive review of the Resolution this month. You might want to check those out. | |
| Here's To Dear Old Dad My dad had an old German console radio and record player, which my daughter has now. My brother and I used to listen to the short wave receiver quite often -- and I sure remember the old records, especially the musicals. A bigger influence on me, ... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Dcktr -- are two more on the way? Olivia and Otis perhaps??? It would make it even more crowded in the SUV or minivan though ;-) | |
| Is this rude? Omains, your original question was very well addressed above. Per your last question, my experience with buying through Audiogon is quite good. Bear in mind that buying direct is increasingly difficult as the components increase in complexity and ... | |
| Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit... Nice definition Gunbei. Timf, for me, this is a lifestyle. It is a part of many things I do and consumes quite a bit of my time and a very noticeable amount of my money. Any serious hobbyist finds it hard to divorce themselves from their passion. ... | |
| Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit... Audio is a large part of my life because music overlaps with so much of it. Music is one window to the divine and helps me in my relationship with God; it is part of my relationship with my children; my wife and I dance, cook and make love with mu... | |
| How about a contest? There are too many subjectivities for a contest -- oh wait, maybe it could be like ice skating competitions. That's subjective and a winner is always chosen, even if they're not the best. Nah! Too dicey. We'd start having audiophile boyfriends or ... | |
| recommendation of a sound level meter Rives, thanks -- nice site by the way. I had two or three different adjustment factors for the RS meter. Your correction factors line up exactly with those Sean posted a few years ago. Now I finally know which to use. Now if I could only get my sy... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Homer, do you actually have time to listen to your system?? ;-) | |
| Fumigation Sometimes, especially with heavy speakers, the woodworking dust is not entirely removed after production. Even with some good cleaning, fine wood dust can settle over time. Your speakers might be OK. But, to be safe, you may wish to call an expert... | |
| Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing? It is an interesting set of responses -- great reading. In a nutshell, my answer is "sometimes". The soundstage simply can't be wide enough and the overall dynamics just can't be replicated. However, it really does sound like Sara McLaughlin is th... | |
| Trelja- announcement and disclaimer Congratulations. I hope to someday be more involved in the music reproduction business. Truth is, we are all biased in many ways regardless of our affiliation with a particular company. Thanks for giving us a heads up, but I would bet a lot of mon... |
