| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Mr Nil- Unfortunately, the difficulties of arranging a comparison like that, via a CDP, would be almost insurmountable. What with setting up and verifying the accuracy of a reference system, finding the best set-up and positions for the mics/music... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Mr M- If you'll re-read my post, you'll note I said the definition has(since coined in the 80's) been watered down to nothingness. Your points prove mine precisely(Thank you!). Further: I offered no "hypothesis" at all about anyone's system. I onl... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones After 30 years of inferior materials and craftsmanship in EVERYTHING purchased from ANY Asian country(Japan being the sole exception), I have avoided purchasing ANYTHING from over there, outside of Ginseng and certain medicinal mushrooms(NO- They ... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Mr K- You are correct that each channel on a typical mixing board has it's own EQ. Used correctly, these can be adjusted to convey that instrument or vocalist with as natural a presentation as possible. There are also "pan" controls that can move ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mr I- I can certainly appreciate your concern with regards to protecting your equipment, and the investment represented. It's been my experience that the Germans are quite anal about the quality that they engineer into their products, or I wouldn'... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Since the site won't allow me to edit my post: I'll add that the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, at $39.00 a pop, to me represent a bargain when I consider the increase in sound quality they deliver. | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mt Isanchez- Personally, I've never seem the Hi-Fi Tuning fuses recommended for use in speaker systems. They have always been tried in locations that provide voltage to power supplies(AC) or tubes/transistors(DC) and been shown to provide substant... | |
| Blind Shoot-out in San Diego -- 5 CD Players Mr CTM- I couldn't agree more with your assessment. If the individuals had been shown to have attending live performances(acoustic and/or "plugged in") a few times a month/over a few years, had been trained in how to listen and analyze sound/timbr... | |
| Tone controls- to use or not? Mr C- Once upon a time the definition of, "audiophile" implied one that did as little harm to the original signal as possible. Basically- your straight wire with gain types(no tone controls, EQs, etc.). Of course, that term was coined back in the ... | |
| Help I need to locate a part Mr.s K & S- You'll note I prefaced my note with a, "supposedly". My brief glance at a substitution handbook at work was obviously TOO brief. Please accept my profound, "OOPS!" | |
| Help I need to locate a part (http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?lang=en&site=US&keywords=opa627) Supposedly- these are equivalents to the 2N5566(NPD5566). I'd prefer the Burr-Brown, the data-sheet of which can be downloaded here:(http://www.datashee... | |
| Note for those who buy used equipment... I've always dealt directly with the manufacturers of my equipment, and have yet to be asked about how it was obtained. Never have had a problem with support. Then again; Everything I have in my system was built in this country(except the tubes and... | |
| TAS Recommended CD Tweak…. Ozzy- Having actually read the "white paper" that George Louis wrote, and found that it does make a great deal of sense from a technical standpoint: I ordered the UBP last night, directly from him. He certainly does like to talk! This will be the ... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Mr D- And you know this because you have tried a variety of power cords and hi-end fuses, and found that they made no difference what-so-ever in your system, Right? Certainly you wouldn't make those statements without having established some facts... | |
| fuses - the $39 ones or the 85 cent ones Add me to the list of those that have recently installed Hi-Fi Tuning fuses, and found them to make a distinct, audible improvement(realism, not coloration). I tried the two AC power fuses in my Cary monoblocks a month ago, and will be replacing t... |
