| Pain in my butt Just answered another one of your posts mostly tongue in cheek. Now I realise your not feeling so great. Hope I didn't annoy you too much and wish you a speedy recovery. | |
| Why bi-wiring is bad You believe all this? What are stochastic phase error sounds? My problem with all of this is that in bi-wiring there still is a connection at the speaker between both cables so that the notion that the upper frequencies are somehow being fed a dif... | |
| What amp is best? Keep Canada green, buy Bryston. No. I am not related in any way to that concern, save and except as a satisfied customer. Good day! | |
| Vinyl distortion - What's the problem? As TWL says, go over all the basics of the cartridge mounting process. I would add go slow, don't assume it was done right the first time. Make sure your tt is properly levelled. Are you using the brush/stabilizer thing (whatever it is called) on ... | |
| Tonearm/cartridge sugestions for an Oracle Delphi? Brooklyn Audio is in Dartmouth Nova Scotia. They be one of us Phydeaux, so no border problems. And no, I have no connection to that concern, like you I did a double take on the name vs. the location. For a low mass arm such as the Grace I would go... | |
| Tonearm/cartridge sugestions for an Oracle Delphi? Use the Grace. Get a new cartridge that matches the arm. Nothing much can happen to the arm over the years, unless it is damaged by some incident/accident. The cartridge is more delicate and a number of parts can be affected by environmental condi... | |
| Good moving magnet or cheap moving coil Dollar for dollar, I would go with the Shure V15xMR. No snob appeal, just a great cartridge. | |
| Help Total Confusion When you say "between the speakers" do you mean it literally, as "actually between the speakers" or somewhat behind the plane of the speakers? While I cannot say that tremendous improvement has occurred, I did change my rather large rack 50"tall X... | |
| Auctions - why bid early? Auctions- why bid at all? Seems to me that buying unseen, unheard in the context where the price can only go up, probably over the price you would pay when dealing in the course of a normal negotiation is almost invariably a losing propostion. The... | |
| Your Favorite Austin City Limits Too many to recall. Used to be: tune in Vermont PBS Saturday night, and there it was. Now, my son has satellite tv, so many useless channels, I can't find anything. I believe that tapes are available. Assuredly, they must be on DVD by now. What is... | |
| The Best Amplifier Ever ? For home use: Fender Blues Junior. | |
| What music is not derivative? To Clueless: the French author Sacha Guitry is quoted as saying, as translated by yours truly, "originality is the art of concealing one's sources". Push come to shove, everything is derivative, save for the work of the most naive, I guess.I, also... | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? People here seem to have trouble with supply and demand setting the price. I love the guy who posted that "OBO" can mean more than the figure actually asked. "OBO" to my mind means the person has made a firm decision to sell on short notice and is... | |
| Need help with new 11X 13 dedicated Listening Room Scared me for a minute there: I read bass shy Thiel "CS 5's". | |
| What music is not derivative? Dire Straits, to me, on first hearing, sounded strikingly fresh, original, unique and worth listening to, compared to the thrash heap surrounding them at the time. The trash heap, many years later, is just bigger and stinkier. Good day. |
