| music , mind , thought and emotion One thing the always amazes me is that there are a few groups that consider music and dancing "sinful". The groups that come to mind are sects of Christianity and Islam. Can anyone explain the rationale behind these beliefs?I personally believe th... | |

| EAR Acute v. Plinius CD101 GSM18439,If you can, try a pair of Seimens CCa tubes in your Acute, the older the better. They transform this CDP to another level. You'll be happy! | |
| Wadia CD players direct to power amps opinions Vx700,IMO: If you have an analytical system you may be better off with a high quality tube preamp. With many tube amps maybe the preamp could be eliminated. I don't think there is a correct answer. Depends on your preferences and system.BTW: I use... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Just noticed, this thread's got legs. Started on 01/02/01! | |
| Hifi Tuning Fuses Frontier1,I recently replaced all fuses(5) in my McCormack DNA225 and happy I did. In my case the sonic improvement was more than subtle with no downside that I can perceive. I'm planning on placing more in other components soon. As always: YMMV | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Hitman,I like the "near CD quality" sticker! Figure, CD was hyped as "perfect sound, forever" so "near CD quality" must mean "almost perfect sound, for a long time".You gotta love marketing. | |

| Maggie's and cats Cmo,If you like your cats do not have your cats declawed. It can change their personalities! It would be great to find the substance Magfan is referring to.Maybe your vet might have some suggestions. | |

| EAR Acute v. Plinius CD101 Yes, the remote can only be described as "cheesy", especially at this price point but it does work flawlessly. Fortunately, when the music is playing through the Acute you forget the quality of the remote.I originally purchased the Acute for a sec... | |
| McCormack Advanced Rectifer Circuitry Had the ARC-2 upgrade done to my Platinum DNA225 this past summer. Most noticeable effect has been additional clarity and information in the top end. Hope this helps. | |
| EAR Acute v. Plinius CD101 The Acute is an exceptionally musical CDP but its character can be changed somewhat with tube rolling. I have rolled 4 sets of tubes in it so far and each presents a slightly different flavor. Currently waiting on delivery of 1960s Seimens CCa. IM... | |
| Anyone heard a K2 HD CD yet? New techniques that have potential to improve redbook sonics is always exciting. On paper it all sounds promising. Unfortunately the promise can turn to disappointment quickly. | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? How would you Rapture owners characterize the difference between them and the Revelations? If there is a sonic difference is it a significant difference and is it worth the additional cost? I know this is all subjective but I'd like to hear your o... |
