| Anyone with parralel line conditioner experience? I believe the Seakay Line Rover is a parallel line conditioner. I've used one for years and find it makes a slight, but positive, difference. I am convinced it protected the electrical systems in my house a few years back when there was a lightnin... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I must admit that I've been obsessing since my initial post, although like you, Craig, I find plenty of time for pleasurable listening; the key is choosing components that can bring a smile to your face and lose you in the music, I guess.In the la... | |
| Personal speaker evolution How come those Boses weren't in your post under the Best System You've Ever Built thread, Craig? Same reason as my Fishers? | |

| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! CW--Ah, nostalgia just isn't what it used to be.... Seriously, I've found the trend you noted interesting also. I really don't think the quality of audio has gone downhill (putting aside digital, analog is vastly improved over the stuff I had in c... | |
| HELP Speakers sound brighter and 3D stage is lost The above suggestions are all excellent, but (and I hate to bring this up) I wonder whether those speakers are just plain too large for your new room, both physically and in the bass they produce. A smaller, stand-mounted speaker (for example, B&a... | |
| Best symphony recordings I'll have to check my records when I get home tonight, but the 67's the one I was thinking of. The vinyl reissue may be the '61 recording. | |
| Is there a better amp than this... You could try a pair of Meitner MTR 101s, used they run $800-1,000, depending on their vintage. | |
| Best symphony recordings I agree with Sugarbrie's suggestions, particularly as to the Beethoven. On the Dvorak, two other suggestions--the old Kertesz recording on London/Decca, my favorite interpretation and a good recording (should be available on CD, and definitely has... | |
| cornfedboy, signing off I go away for a weekend and look what happens!! I'll miss your on-site posts, and wish you well. At least I'll know your talents will still be going to a good use here. | |
| Lyrita Catalog Frank, I agree with you whole-heartedly on the reissue point and on the Nimbus pressings. I have a number of copies of the Arnold on vinyl, and the Nimbus pressing clearly has more delicacy and air to it than the later pressings. That's the one I ... | |
| Lyrita Catalog Bioman, like the others, I also have the Arnold CD, which I picked up in 1993, I guess, the last time I was in London. It is not nearly as good as the LP, although it gives a hint of the Lyrita sound. Lyrita indeed did make CDs of a small amount o... | |
| How Do you hide/camouflage your rats nest? I have the amps and active crossovers (3 pieces each side) in my living room, sitting on 30" high stands and flanking a fireplace that juts out. I try to hide them, as well as the cables, with large potted plants, the type with really big leaves, ... | |
| Low Frequency Rumble Question Jackcob, what records specifically are causing this rumble? That will give a clue. Like I said before, the Underground's rumblings are clearly audible on the British RCAs, throughout the recordings, and Classic's reissues are good enough to captur... | |
| Low Frequency Rumble Question Many of the RCA records recorded in England (for example, the Faust/Carmen or Royal Ballet Gala records), like their Decca counterparts, have glorious reproduction of the London Underground going by under the hall in which the recording took place... |
