| Virtual Dynamics Master bi-wire vs single wire Although I cannot answer this question from personal experience I did post the same question to Rick Schultz concerning the Revelation speaker cable. He recommends the bi-wire if your speakers are set up for them. He stated:"the single wire will o... | |
| Wadia 302 Direct to amp or via pre-amp I doubt that there are many who can hear the resolution loss from 100 to 80, or even 70. If you can then you've got the golden ears. Still I would prefer a volume control that functions in the analog domain rather than the digital. What you're say... | |
| Taking audio too seriously? I think you're on to something with the magnetic field alignment! I'll try it right away. Thanks! | |
| Best Live Shows 2006 ? I saw Pat Martino a few weeks ago. Not only was he great but the pianist, bassist and drummer were acomplished musicians as well. The guitar was the only amplified instrument. Sat about 8 ft from the band. Only complaint; the set was too short but... | |
| Canadian Musicians Yes, Marc-Andre Hamelin is superb! | |
| Canadian Musicians Jeanne Lamon (sp?) is fabulous. Try Handels Concerto Grossi Opue 3, classical of course. Truly rewarding. | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", written by Carole King as sung by The Shirelles (although Carole King also does a nice job on Tapestry). | |
| The best power conditioner for less than $1K? Has anyone tried the Gutwire PLC? It's well under $1000. | |
| Japanese Mini-LP Obi CD's -- Audiophile Quality? In many cases the mini LPs are only produced for the first run of a re-issue then further runs are cased in standard jewel case packaging. At least this has been the case with many that I've purchased such as the recent Steely Dan, Jackson Browne ... | |
| Japanese Mini-LP Obi CD's -- Audiophile Quality? I own many (approx. 100, most purchased direct from Japan) of these CDs and there's no definitive answer to your question. Many of the CDs are excellent but not all. Most of the Blue Note releases sound superb. The recent Santana CDs sound excelle... | |
| Broken speaker terminal, Dunlavy IVA Never had any problems before as I was using high quality bananas but broke the terminal trying to install Virtual Dynamics Revelations with spades. Yes, I think you're on to something with the flush mount board idea. May have to fabricate somethi... | |
| Good Bach Piano Concerto in Dminor recording J. S. Bach wrote no piano concertos. In fact I don't think there was such a thing as a piano during his lifetime. A few of his sons may have written works for the piano however. I prefer my J. S. Bach on harpsichord which is the instrument he wrot... | |
| Do Cables Wear Out? Obviously there isn't enough to worry about! | |
| Recommendation for interconnect and speaker cables I really like the Gabriel cables I bought on Audiogon. Plus they were relatively reasonable in price. I think they're only available on Audiogon auction although they come up used occassionally. | |
| Harmonic Technology Cyberlight cables Ah yes, this thread rears its ugly head once again. Great idea, not yet perfected. When they do though, could be awesome. Let's hope! |
