| Honesty of the Reviewers I suppose there may be a dishonest reviewer or two out there, but I think the vast majority are honest, and their reviews are compromised only by their own belief systems and biases, same as you and me. I see no evidence that any of the buff mags ... | |
| Class B int.=Class B Pre/Pro??? No. I think they have said this in the past. In their rating system separates are compared to separates and integrateds to integrateds. Class B separates are supposed to be better than Class B integrateds.But that's still a rough guide, and reflec... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Interesting you mention the Radio Shack cables. I have tried and used the thicker RS gold series a/v cables (yellow and white rings on the ends instead of red and white) because of a dimmer switch problem and I think they're fine. No frequency ano... | |
| Which Rogers 3/5 A is the best ever made Rademaker, Charlie, the Compact 7 (with Radial technology material introduced in 1995 and improved a little bit last year) is NOT an LS3/5a equivalent or replacement. It's about 8 times the size, I think.Harbeth made an LS3/5a replacement in the s... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology See what I mean? Jostler, there was no need. I said I hear differences, but it's "hard to imagine how wire could impart SUCH A LARGE BOOST to any part of the frequency range." As opposed to a smaller boost (although that I still dont understand) o... | |
| Speaker wire is it science or psychology Jpharris's post raises an interesting question: If you can measure a difference in frequency response (hard to imagine how wire could impart such a large boost to any part of the frequency range) but you can't tell the difference in listening doub... | |
| Any good cheap integrated amps? Proton 940. Good tuner and amp. But you have to be careful if you find one. Mine has intermittent distortion in one channel that I havent been able to isolate. Finally gave up and bought the NAD integrated. Can't find anything to listen to on the ... | |
| Any good cheap integrated amps? Semantics. "A bit more" evidently means something different to me. I paid a little less than you did, delivered. | |
| Any good cheap integrated amps? I think the NADs are fine. Just bought a C350 for a bit more than $300 for my office, but you can find a C340 for less I think. I decided to get the NAD over the Cambridge because the mark-up from the UK to the USA on Cambridge is ridiculous. They... | |
| How much lead/sand to fill stand rack? I dont know the stands, but if they are metal, you want to fill them to damp the ringing. I think they're probably heavy enough. My dealer recommended, and I use, Jonny Cat kitty litter, unscented. Cheap, fill them up all the way because it doesnt... | |
| Best female vocals on CD Reba is one of a handful of the very best non-classical singers in the last 30 years. Wonderful voice and knows how to use it. Only problem is the materal she chooses to sing. I still have several of her lps, but have never bought one of her cds. | |
| Wanted leads on blues, blues rock folk Oh, I cant help but mention the other two who are never mentioned, Irma Thomas and Tracy Nelson. Try Irma's True Believer cd and browse the Tracy Nelson selections on Amazon. | |
| Wanted leads on blues, blues rock folk Echo Etta James, Love's Been Rough on Me is a great album. Also all of Terry Evans's albums, and Sam McClain. Anything old by BB King of course. But here's one that's old and no one over mentions, and its one of my all time favorites, Sam Cooke's ... | |
| Dealer Bias: Do They Really Add Value? Does a car salesman add value? Do you believe what he says about the cars he sells compared to other cars? Get real.Honestly, there are a few, very few. Some carry stuff they believe in. In southern Cal, I can think of Gene Rubin, Brooks Berdan, R... | |
| CD Player Woes Try spraying the laser light bulb with a compressed air? May not be anything wrong with the cd player at all. |
