| High Quality Audio Hub thanks, but no thanks - i personally find MP3s very difficult to enjoy even in the car | |
| Excellent Audience Customr Service I believe Audience should have thought about how an innocent customer would react, before sending such an email out. Had they, then they might have started the email with a gentler intro, and an outro stating their apology for any inconvenience to... | |
| Excellent Audience Customr Service I have just received this apology.<have been having lots of trouble with dealers breaking their agreementwith Audience and therefore the notice.As you suggest, I would have communicated directly with the dealers;however they can not be identifi... | |
| Excellent Audience Customr Service I recently sold a pair of speaker cables on Audiogon and got this accusing email.<Audience cable seller:If you are an authorized dealer of Audience, please be advised that you are inviolation of the legal requirements of advertising Audience pr... | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? I did a few experiments backing my monos up to the speaker terminals and connecting 6 inch links as speaker cables. It became very hard to distinguish the differences between cables, where those differences had been very noticeable with 3 foot len... | |
| Need CDP opinions please The Consonance cd players are stunning value. I would look at the Consonance 2.3 CD Player (is like the 2.2 but without the digital volume control) - which you can get new for 2k or much less, depending on the source. There are those that will try... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I will "third" Gliderguider's list. I rarely bother with Laphroig these days, and if I wander away from the Lagavulin and Talisker, then it is to sample a less powerful, more gentle drop such as the Balvenie or even the Glenmorangie that they matu... | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? Hi SeanThe only time I tried Nordost, I tried Red Dawn, SPM and Quattro Fil and they all sounded a little bleached through the mids to me. However that was with an older pair of Thiels and with some Martin Logans - neither of which were likely to ... | |
| Whats wrong with short cables? Drubin. Cannot say I liked the Goertz with either my Thiel 1.6 or Sonus Faber Guarnieri. They are warm and musical cables but obscure detail and roll-off the top compared with many other cables that I have tried with these speakers. I think you ma... | |
| Plinius or YBA? I agree with the suggestions above that the combination of Jupiter and Plinius is unlikely to have enough bite. | |
| Classe/Plinius Observation I tend to agree with your observation of the Plinius sound Crega, and it is prevalent with all of their gear. I suspect it comes from them being voiced with all silver cables and with Shahinian speakers. | |
| New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer" I have that Cd, and you are right. No argument, his work with Junior Wells was the best. For me, what was great on that work was Buddy's guitar, and Junior's singing. Buddy's singing has been more erratic, sometimes lacking soul, sometimes not. Bl... | |
| New Buddy Guy - "Blues Singer" I have been a Buddy Guy fan a long time and agree with HDM that there was much great work with Junior Wells, and a lot of average stuff since. But I really really like Blues Singer. If it has to rock out for your juices to flow, then you will not ... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... provided it doesn't go in the glass. | |
| What does a pre amp do I share your views on passive preamps. But the Res Audio players do not have a passive preamp in them. They have an active line stage that that follows the volume control and that, on paper, looks as good as any decent silly state preamp, with ood... |
