| Hardwood floors vs Carpet Hi Ernie. My Martin Logans beam (as all panels do) in a way that there is no floor bounce of upper frequencies until you are a very long way from the speakers. It is definitely not just a lateral issue. For ML speaker the panel starts a foot or so... | |
| Your favorite blues album? I don't know what it is about "Folk Singer" but it does not grab me. I am very keen on Philadelphia Jerry Ricks "Deeper In The Well" (I think that is the title). I sure enough like Junior Wells a lot. "Going Away" is good but I prefer the music on... | |
| racks and shelves The African swallow is not as fast as music on a Neuance shelf - whether carrying a coconut or not. By the way, when carrying a coconut it manages to hit terminal velocity very quickly. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Very interesting Kitch. I don't know anything about the Mapleshade cables so would be interested in a description. With the OTA the most significant "sound" improvement is with cymbals - no spit or smearing - every little detail seems so like the ... | |
| Hardwood floors vs Carpet With parallel hard wood floor and ceiling - added to parallel hard walls, flutter echo is very likely, which will tend to add a "shoutiness" to voices and just plain sound bright overall. You can fix it with rugs, but there are other ways to attac... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit OK Ken (as Mr Webb said), but I will have another go when the speaker cables have had more hours, because the bass performance was definitely still moving around. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Just digital sources, but otherwise correct Gregm.From what I can tell, some of the other guys trying this cable (but who are wisely keeping their powder dry) are liking it but not necessarily getting the same results. I find as an interconnect th... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch29 - I will eat my hat now because I think you are right. I took the OTA speaker cables out and put in my Wireworld Golden Eclipse III cables and something sounded more right about the whole thing. Listening some more I was not happy with the... | |
| Best Unknown Jazz Album I love Count Basie on "For The First Time", and with Oscar Peterson on "Satch And Josh". These guys are hardly unknown, but these efforts are way undervalued in their catalogues. Similarly Duke Ellington's album "For Blanton". Check out Jessica Wi... | |
| REK-O-KUT sounds better than my LINN? I have never heard a REK-O-KUT, but would just comment that old Linns never die, but their bearings do wear out. That is, there are a lot of bad sounding Linns out there because they have been around for years, are still high perceived value, but ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Kitch29, I suspect it would destroy the coherence of the pacing. I am getting very boring on PRAT I know, but happen to believe that many audiophiles get lost in failing to distinguish between the sound and the music, and that this is the reason w... | |
| Please, learn from my mistakes Just want to add my support to you Celery. Audiogon has been infiltrated by rats before - remember Sistrum? - and Celery has most likely found another.This all makes me want to try the Electro EMC 1 to find out what they are so afraid of - it must... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Apart from the upper bass just plain disappearing for a few hours on Saturday, the sound has been very stable since my last post 5 days ago. It is only in the bass where I have had reservations with this cable - during burn-in, the bass has gone j... | |
| Oh No Not 24/96 again It means something - but I reckon you are better off not caring. The 24/96 chip is a recent chip and so supposedly better than previous ones, but not necessarily because it is 24/96. In fact it is more difficult to make a 24 bit chip linear than i... |
