Cables that make no sense...
I sure hope we're talking real boom box here. What is the best boom box/high end cable combination? I am dissatisfied with my current set-up as it takes an inordinate amount of space in my home. The boom box being portable could also be used outsi... 
Out of Control
Sorry to have to table an addendum so soon. Two points to be added: one, wait until all the evidence is in before deciding; two: burden of proving that the component should be adopted by you, lies on the equipment being evaluated and is not the sa... 
Out of Control
Oh but to be so sure of one's self! I don't put this out as some kind of procedure to follow under pain of banishment or anything like that. Just a few thoughts. For sake of discussion let's divide this into three phases: prior to, during and afte... 
Care to share your scams?
The scam goes on in Montreal too. A TV show exposing various scams brought a pair to what I think I recognized as a high end shop here that sells, inter alia, Audio Research, for an opinion as to the quality of this junk and they found the quality... 
Best US magazine for equipment review?
RIP a number of years ago. 
Care to share your scams?
A bit of a scam. Sign on a Petro-Canada gas station near my home read "Temporarily closed. To serve you better, soon self-serve ". You know how cold it gets here in the winter to pump it yourself? 
Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
Gardening, model railroading, cooking, guitar (I hesitate to use the term for fear of being prosecuted for misrepresentation) playing and debating at the drop of a hat. 
The Canadians that visit the site
I am in the greater, greater Montreal area. Longueuil, which is to Montreal what New Jersey is to NYC. Did I say that? Well all comparaisons are odious. Canada does not have a floating currency, it has a sinking currency, to borrow from one of our... 
The best CD Player for the money
Subarguru, Sorry not in real time here: pace, rhythym and timing, I guess. Well, I have trouble with the concept at any rate. I still can't figure out s/w though. I should be working right now, so goodbye for now. 
What would you do??
Dekay, They leak on the stands? Our good friend Maurice Richard (aka Mo and Momo) followed my wife home one day. We fed it what we had on hand that a cat would possibly consider as food. The very next morning, a Saturday, he showed up at our patio... 
The best CD Player for the money
Subaruguru, hate to sound thick but what is PRaT? Come to think of it I have a problem with a few other abreviations also that I see used in this forum. "S/W"?? comes to mind. I don't have time to go through the posts to piece these together. If y... 
The best CD Player for the money
I did not have the time nor the energy to go on an audition rampage. A dealer was nice enough to let me try an Arcam FMJ CD23 at home for a week. I think there is something to the dCS converter thing. After one day I decided to go for it. You can ... 
What is Super Bit Mapping
Lennardd. Thanks. I don't know if it is the SBM, but this cd sounds, indeed, very good. The quality of the instrumentalist and orchestra don't hurt either! Regards. 
What would you do??
I had a similar problem recently in that my Thiel 3.5s needed a new midrange. The repair process proved to be more difficult than at first anticipated. Nothing major but the new midrange I got was damaged during the replacement process. I will not... 
Out of Control
Gallaine, I did what? I don't even own a gauntlet. I have not waived math since high school, and have never waived it as a sceptre. Nothing so aristocratic for me. I like the expression "arts & sciences" though and I think it applies to audio ...
