| New Mofi & Audio Fidelity CDs? The 3rd album, Four Way Street, was my favorite. CSNY's live performances were so explosive on that album. If you ever come across the Japanese CD pressing which came out in 1989/ 1990, it is worth picking up. It does not have the bonus material o... | |
| New Mofi & Audio Fidelity CDs? The trouble I had with 'CSN' was that it never represented for me the best music from CSN, CSN&Y, or the members' solo efforts. When CSN was first released in the late 70's, I remember feeling that the songs and harmonies were not as good as t... | |
| McIntosh MC240 Question Zd542 ... interesting. I would have thought the opposite ... that increasing the gain at the power amp level would sound cleaner as opposed to increasing gain at the preamp level, which would be one level further away from the power source. In a s... | |
| Hearing issue Go back to the ear doctor and get checked out again. Don't take chances ... it is your ears for Christ sakes. Sounds like fluid build up. Have you tried sleeping either on a wedge type pillow or propped up. This would allow for drainage or at leas... | |
| Why are Kitty Kat Revelators so invisible? The NHT Classic 3 are acoustic suspension speakers. This design of speaker operates well in near rear wall placement. Period. I am not sure if absolute flush placement is physically possible. My hunch is that clearance needed for speaker cable, es... | |
| My Music Hall CD 25 just died Correct me if I am wrong lads ... but, a mac mini, back-up drive, standalone DAC, front end like an iPad ... aren't we past the $1k point and actually close to $1.5k by now. And you have to buy new as used pc equipment is a crap shoot and a half.Rich | |
| How to defeat Pioneer DV-58AV auto power shut-off? I have the same thing with my XTZ CD-100. My thinking was this happened because the XTZ uses a modified DVD drive and not a CD only drive and this type of shut-off behavior was more of a dvd player thing. Can you just turn on your Pioneer player 2... | |
| What mid priced receiver sounds best? The Onkyo 818 receiver was well reviewed in the British press (Hi Fi News, What Hi Fi, etc.).The Onkyo has a phono input, if it makes a difference.I never had trouble with Onkyo products. At $800 or so, it seems like a steal, given it was released... | |
| My Music Hall CD 25 just died This may be a lay-up for you ... Marantz cd6004 . It is well reviewed, made in Japan, and just reduced to $400 from its $500 list. Rich | |
| bookshelf speakers You should be OK as long as are not putting the speakers on shelves inside of a bookcase, because then you would be putting a box inside a box. Up front realize that the speakers can be made to sound very good, but not their very best.Sealed speak... | |
| New Mofi & Audio Fidelity CDs? That's nice. The official release date for CSN is two days from now (August 13th) and there are no reviews out there that I have seen for the AF version. If you want to be the first on your block to hear the CD, you could do what I did which was o... | |
| New Mofi & Audio Fidelity CDs? Well ... the Audio Fidelity Crosby, Stills and Nash "CSN" won't be delivered by Amazon for another 2 weeks ... so it is kind of hard to say.Rich | |
| Repair or replace my Yes, you are showing your age and yes, you are a bit out of touch especially when you start comparing turntable prices from 35 years ago without accounting for changes in technology and price levels. The Rabco has the linear tracking tonearm, whic... | |
| Do you know why I would make the case that the records from the 70s and 80s were just as warped as anything produced today. I remember RCA Dynagroove records as the biggest offenders.Rich | |
| Arcam r-Cube Portable Any interest in this offering from Marantz ? The price certainly seems attractive.Rich |
