| Twisted Lyrics : Rcprince, I have an ongoing thing with my wife about "honey bunch". She claims it has to be "honey bun" as honey cant' be gotten by the bunch. Glad to see we hear The Four Tops the same way! BTW what is the correct expression? | |
| Twisted Lyrics : From "Smack dab in the middle" done by Ray Charles and also by Ry Cooder, I always heard (and worst, repeated) "pick me a town in any clime" as "pick me a town in decline". Seeing as though the lyrics that follow are "people like a rocking time" i... | |
| Other Hobbies? Making sordid noises with various guitars, model railroading, gardening, cooking, spewing venom on various internet forums and generally just avoiding work as much as I can. | |
| Can you ever go back and be happy? As a Maggie owner, yes if I could get some of the money I put into my 3.6s I would get convevntional speakers in a heartbeat. Reliability is something I can't live without, all these qualities of a planar mean nothing when it is down most of the t... | |
| BAT solid state or tube? Russian State. | |
| What is a 'fast' amp? What about slew rate? | |
| Audio signs of record wear. My original post did not get past the censors. My main point was that it is impossible to unravel surface noise from the music despite what unconditional supporters of the black discs like to claim. The usual argument is that one can disregard the... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Bryston power amps. | |
| Questions about Bryston 7B-ST Too bad you are so far and not in Canada like me because Bryston's guarantee is pretty much bulletproof and their service top-notch. Mine is on 24/7, but we do have decent electrical power in Quebec. It is impossible to know from what you indicate... | |
| Questions about Bryston 7B-ST Why do you shut it down? | |
| wow and flutter The test is meaningless as it is merely an objective measurement that does not correlate to music. Music in its essence is ever changing and the ear actually prefers changes in pitch that are interpreted by the brain as more musical in that they k... | |
| How do you deal with vibration? The one component that impressed me is the Rack of Silence by Solid Tech. Heard a great system in a local shop here both with and without the ROS and can absolutely say that the difference was stunning. The price may be a bit stiff, but you owe it... | |
| So my wife says to me this morning Wow! Paint removed from the arm, how does it sound? I bet there is a vast improvement, although I heard it changes the arm resonance and may prove a bit of a disadvantage with cartridges with a stiffer suspension. | |
| How do you deal with vibration? The component will operate with greater efficiency? What is meant by "efficiency" in this context? This is a classic thread that shows that some people are mightily convinced that audio is a one-man thing since no one hears the same.As a complemen... | |
| What stole your attention from HiFi? Getting back to model railroading after quite a long hiatus. Not that expensive money-wise, but a real time sink. E-bay is not much of a help since I have a tendency to forget how much the shipping charges actually are to get the stuff delivered t... |
