| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Well, yes but only the live performance anyone could have, Glitter & Doom is on both vinyl (my preference) and redbook CD and is an excellent selection of songs from many (if not all) of the venues in this tour. Two things to keep in mind, Mr.... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? I have sat in glorious orchestra and opera halls. I have had chamber series seats for years, nearly a decade, working my seats to a position about nine rows back, just left of center. I know what acoustic music sounds like live and what horse-hair... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? cleeds, I hear without fail. That doesn't mean, I hear perfectly or understand perfectly (scientifically) what I hear. Perhaps whatever we hear is all that matters. I do not derive any pleasure from numbers, or being "right". Your statement is mos... | |
| Lyra Delos Cartridge Loading Recommendation for Whest PS.30R Just in case you might be unaware, j.carr is the resident cart designer for Lyra. | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? In defense of the theory of "detecting the immeasurable". We have heard for decades, perhaps since the beginnings of mankind, certainly before electronics, things with our highly tuned listening devices, things that if our ancient ancestors had no... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Tracey Thorn - Everything but the Girl / Massive Attack | |
| Lyra Delos Cartridge Loading Recommendation for Whest PS.30R You have an excellent cart.i say: Loading is like a tone control and is set by user (ear) preference.Lyra says: Recommended load directly into MC phono input : 91ohms - 47kohm (determine by listening, or follow detailed guidelines)???JonathanValin... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? I think I’ll hold off on putting my MA-1 Mk.3 Silvers on "or best offer" for a bit and keep my ears open. roger_paul, Oh, the world is filled with many ironies. I have no idea what you may have going on here, and wish no personal offense. Yet, thi... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Geoffkait, Some of this thread is just nuts. I'd be kind of a Mound's fan, but they screwed up the Almond Joy when they used cheap (domestic style) milk chocolate. Had they taken a lesson from the Swiss and way-upped the butter fat and used qualit... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? swampwalker, agreed, not saying things are bad here (yet) but, even a really bad day on an audio thread (and while listening to the Hi-fi), is still better than a good day in front of the boob-tube IMHO. [|;^)> | |
| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ? geoffkait, you could again, be on to something here. Doing a very quick, very non-scientific study of my local audio group, the most stalwart, hardcore of the 300+ mailing list would probably fit neatly between JA's and your #, yet closer to yours... | |
| Phono pre "Break-In" process? Necessary? Wolf_garcia, nicely played. I've quite honestly been away a good while, mostly traveling and happily listening to all things audio and otherwise. Thank you Zen master Hakuin for the koan, "what is the sound of one hand" (clapping). I can clearly s... | |
| Mogami Speaker cable question maplegrovemusic, your recommendation of Canare is sold at (as one example) 11GA 4S11 Star Quad Speaker Cable Spade to Spade 15 FT With finished banana or spade ends are like 66USD, can’t be beat. | |
| Mogami Speaker cable question Eddy, My comment was not meant to be cruel. Mogami wire has not changed much over the years and quite frankly neither has thoughts about it. "New" thoughts are not bye the way necessarily "better" thoughts, and in fact they can often be made with ... | |
| Looking to upgrade Field coil generator- any thoughts First off congrats, you are a wise man and of good fortune.I like the way field-coiling the midrange driver especially is a cost effective way to approach this upgrade. I have heard John’s speakers for years and heard the field-coils in many diffe... |
