| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz We audiophiles are guilty as charged. We do most anything for improved sound and are amazingly fickle, hence the quick price depreciation on HF Cables and pretty much everything else audiophile-related. I do like the fancy boxes as they are great ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The HF Cables have made the single largest improvement I have heard. Maybe it is the result of myriad improvements I have made over the years with single-driver speakers, electronics with 30MHz bandwidth, turntable upgrades, etc. In any case, I ha... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, why don't you do what I did and try a pair of cables? I don't totally rely on what everyone else reports on products I have not heard, but it is at least a starting point. After you have tried them you can then report something useful on t... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Mapman, I am confused. I have followed this thread through the years and I cannot understand why you bother to in your attempts to bring these guys down. I am sure you have some great experiences to share here, not just the usual abject negativity... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I apologize for not making my phono system more clear. The cartridge terminations end in a DIN plug, which in tern connects to a block with RCA connectors. I used a pair of regular CT-1 interconnects between this termination block on my turntable ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Hi, Folks: I finally reached the end of this interminably long thread and wanted to throw in my own experiences with the HF Cables. For full disclosure: I have been on the Gon for about 13 years, contributed to and started many threads, bought and... | |
| Songs That Sound the Same Another is Steely Dan's Rikki Don't Lose that Number and Horace Silver's Song for my Father. According to a book on Steely Dan, this was supposed to be a tribute to Horace. Meh. Not sure I am buying that. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Shsohis: Point taken. There is no arguing in matters of taste. I also have heard most of the speakers you noted and disagree that they outclass the MicroOnes. There is also no doubt that you are speaking of designs far higher in price. | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Martha Davis of The Motels. I can still hear her sultry voice on "Change My Mind" on the All Four One album. | |
| Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater? I know that my response will be difficult to swallow since I am answering your original question and not either waxing rhapsodic about the sound of Bose speakers or providing a vehement statement that Bose is responsible for all social ills. Amazi... | |
| Brooks Berdan LTD Monrovia California I not only miss Brooks and his analog expertise, but seeing his exotic cars parked out front. Hopefully he is somewhere driving a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. | |
| Turntable with stable speed. I had the exact problem you describe with a Merrill Heirloom table. I could hear the pitch changing irregularly, often as the system warmed up and it drove me mad. I now have an SME 20/2 and never hear this effect. I would imagine any of the more ... | |
| Isolation Platform for my Sota Cosmos? If you want to go on the cheap, a good home-made isolation platform that I have used for years is to buy several wheelbarrow inner tubes at your local hardware store and a large cement paver block. Place the block on the inflated inner tubes and y... | |
| Looking for a high-quality 2-way speaker I heard the Carmels in two different rooms at the Newport Beach Show and loved their natural sound, but only heard the larger Magicos (Q3 and S5) and neither of the others on your list. I really liked two other two-ways at the show, and they were ... | |
| Alternative for original Wilson Sophia I Spikes I also do not use the stock spikes on speakers but use Star Sound Sistrum speaker stands. I find the stands better than the stock spikes--not an earthshaking difference but better nonetheless. Just an idea perhaps worth considering, especially wit... |
