| I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" I also get sleepy listening to KOB. I bought it because of the recommendation. It doesn't seem simple to me, the solos are so complex!!! What the hell are they doing??? I began putting it on at bedtime, when I couldn't sleep. I'd listen to these c... | |
| How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage Peter - I agree with Tubegroover that some audiophiles want a certain sound and others are more into the musical experience. I lean towards the musical experience where the sound is as if I'm in the jazz club or else the performers are in my room.... | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? Right- Audiogon provides a true community atmosphere with open discussion and provides a realistic trading market for used gear. I think it's a tremendous asset to the hobby/industry. It's gotten me back into hi-fi.Wrong- Nothing, really.Strengths... | |
| Hard Disk Playback Systems I think that hard disk playback systems should be the future but we're not there yet and we may never be.As mentioned, software and ease of use are lacking. It's kind of a DIY area now. Also, audiophiles are generally the at the analog end of the ... | |
| Bright room, help My room is similar. Going to NOS tubes in the pre-amp helped tremendously (Amperex replacing Sovtek 6922 in an Anthem Pre-1L). I'm not sure what the Manley uses for tubes.As mentioned before, try adjusting toe-in to see if side reflections are a p... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords Radiated power drops rapidly with distance. No need to shield Romex in wall. It's too far away from the system.The power cord, which is the last 6' of the power delivery system, seems to be an ideal place to put a tuned filter. Filtering out every... | |
| Anthem Pre 2L tube rolling question I've been wondering the same thing for my Pre-1L. I'm about to start tube-rolling and would like to save time/money by swapping in pairs rather than quads. Are the two pre-amps the same as far as tube position? | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? What is OBO except an invitation for low offers? An offer of 80% of full price does not deserve rudeness. The buyer may well have gone to 90% or even 100% with a little bargaining. | |
| Where to buy HDCD's? Thanks, everyone.I'll be getting an hdcd player in a few days. Then I'll enter the strange world of hdcd. I like to shop at the used cd stores but I guess there is no way to tell if the cd is hdcd or not unless I check the hdcd site or put the dis... | |
| TAS's recommended speakers under 2500 Other potential categories: How "revealing" are they of source material and source components? How detailed are they? How are they for rock music? Ochestral music? Jazz/blues/vocal? | |
| CDP with "holographic" sound for less than 1000? Thanks for the tips. There seem to be a lot of options in this price range. Any opinions on tube output stages? | |
| Use a gDVD/CD player as transport with a good DAC? A question for JC Audio and Hi Fi Farm- Did you try any DAC's with upsampling or re-clocking (re-sampling)? There's a reason I ask. From the basics I know of DVD/CP players and transports, the digital output contains data with embedded clock. If t... |
