| Organ CDs with really deep bass I recently acquired this disc of Carsten Weibusch’s Debussy organ transcriptions recorded by the German Audite label. I find it to have excellent artistic and recording qualities. There is a tremendous sense of being immersed within the recording ... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD +1 to above comments. Some people love the DL103 and its various iterations but to my ears they're far from the best. | |
| DIY acoustic panels? FWIW, I tried the DIY approach to making absorption panels and then I tried GIK's products. Considering the time expended and cost of purchasing quality materials to make DIY panels of equal quality to GIK's, I can't imagine why anyone would both... | |
| Need a Record Brush. Got a recommendation? I've tried several brushes marketed for record cleaning and found them all ok at best. My solution may be weird, but it works for me. When humidity is higher and static isn't an issue, I just use microfiber cleaning cloths that I fold over into a ... | |
| Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot) I have no experience with this program myself, but this receives mention in computer audio forums as an alternative to toast at a lower cost ($32.00.) Toast is on sale for $70 at present. I'd used Toast quite a bit with good results in the past. h... | |
| Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot) There are discussions about iTunes vs. XLD for ripping at ww.computer audiophile's website. As is often the case with all things audio, there seems to be little to no consensus about which is better. I'd make no claim to expertise in these matters... | |
| Is There a fix for CD Pin-holes (CD Rot) I have had good luck ripping damaged cd's to my Mac's hard drive in iTunes using the lowest speed setting and then burning a new disc with a quality outboard CD-RW drive and good quality CD-R's. I like to use an old Firewire LaCie Porsche Design d... | |
| Jay's Audio transport Your concerns are understandable but not easily resolved. I think 6moons overview of the owner and company make it pretty clear where they stand as far as longevity. Mr. Ho has been building his current business for ten years. However, the Chinese... | |
| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? Well, thanks for all the witty replies (even if we're none the more enlightened.) I'll order a few and report back. It doesn't appear that these fuses are getting any great push into the marketplace from Littlefuse. Product pages on Littlefuse's w... | |
| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? Yes, Littlefuse has always made ceramic fuses but up to this point their offerings have cost a dollar or so at the most. The economy of scale that they potentially have in manufacturing does make one curious as to how these compare to standard iss... | |
| Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse? I need no persuasion as to the lack of any sound reasoning or science behind "audio" fuses. I'm simply asking if any believers in the congregation of audio fuse purchasers have formed an opinion about Littlefuse's offerings? No need to re-argue t... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? @ shkong78 - Yes, sometimes memorable concerts aren't the best the could have been. I had long wanted to see Ali Akbar Khan, the great Indian sarod virtuoso. I finally got a chance to see him near the end of his life, around 2005 or so. He was far... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? The most intensely involved musical performance I've ever seen was by one of north India's best classical sitarists Budhitya Mukherjee when he visited Tampa twenty years ago. From the instant he sat down to play his intense concentration and demea... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing Just wanted to make sure you weren't using an Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, that would be a mismatch for sure with the Project phono stage. I agree with Elizabeth that a better phono stage would be preferable if finances allow. A quality phono stage con... | |
| On the fence about Vinyl need a good phono stage for A/B testing Which Ortofon Bronze are you using - 2m, Quintet, or Cadenza? |
