| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? Jimbo, do you think you'll try some power conditioners before changing anything else? | |
| Treating High Humidity in basement If you own your home it's worth cerfing the net for more info. I just redid the entire exterior drainage for my 45 yr old home, not that we ever had the slightest problem, but I've witnessed how moisture problems can lead to horrifying destruction... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables Arthur, thanks for providing the great post and link. If only more Audiogoners could only follow your example in brevity, clarity, usefullness and supporting documentation. | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables Knownothing, not to criticize but the jury is "definitely" 'not' out on the hi fi benefits of using a sub, and hasn't been for a very, very long time. JBL was making dedicated subs(350 & 460 in the early '80's if memory serves) that dramatical... | |
| A hard look at the effect of cables I guess this is why Spectral had MIT design some cables for them. At least MIT demonstrates an appreciation of some of the basic interface problems when they provide for impedance matching? Not magic, just solid engineering features. | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's Thedre, I found I improved my effort significantly by using a couple of those big wood handled Discwasher brushes(1 wash, 1 rinse) and a low residue soap/detergent. I've used it on dirty used 'treasure' records w/o a problem. I used tepid filtered... | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's Please just pick up some LAST products and thrill to the improvement. Clear as a brass bell. No danger. I have over 10,000 records-the stuff is reliable. I cringed when I heard the glue thing. Scary | |
| Is Sony XA9000es superior to Esoteric DV 50s? Thanks Alex. I haven't heard of many complaints about the XA9000ES transport or anything else, seems reliable. I have found isolation and conditioning a great benefit. Any chance you used them with the Sony? Could you comment on the differences in... | |
| How Much Has CD Technology Improved in 14 Years? Yes, there are improvements, however you too have not mentioned power conditioning. It can do "wonders" for the sound of an older machine as well as being a serious upgrade for newer systems. Try some. At least to isolate the inevitable digital no... | |
| What am I missing using a 20 year old CD player?? Your great experience with Conrad Johnson gear echoed mine. I enjoyed the troublefree 'dual mono' Motif MC7 preamp and eventually had it upgaded by "Bill Thalmann" of MUSIC TECHNOLOGY.COM. Wow! He brought it to another level of musical enjoyment(c... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER "But" the heading of this thread starts "PC-audio". | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Bigamp you have a good point. Instead of knocking in this DIGITAL forum the posts in this thread are more appropriate for the PC forum. | |
| Power Conditioner Help You might look into a used Equitech balanced power unit. I am very pleased with one in my Spectral/MIT system. | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER It seems the Macbook gets a lot of mention. I use an older business warhorse IBM laptop with Windows Media Player 11 and have never listened to anything beyong a Grammaphone or BBC Music mag sample. It could be interesting to try playing through t... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER Hi Dave, I'm was not questioning your integrity, I was just asking a simple and I felt not unreasonable question considering the level of enthusiasm you've exhibited (and some of the well known shenanigans in the audio business). I fail to see the... |
