| DiMarzio cables Ah, a different league -- and a different application! I don't want to redirect the thread, but I am curious -- better sound, then, from the nice Nak used this way compared to digital options? | |
| Buying Tubes Again; Maddening Well, as they say, YMMV... I would think that the whole mix can interact in sometimes unpredictable and funny ways, particularly in regard to things like an "organic" character. I never heard anything about unusual noise levels with the JJ's in ci... | |
| Buying Tubes Again; Maddening I have the HP-100 also, Stickman... the very unit used by a 'Famous 6Moons Reviewer' and tube "collector"/reseller for about 8 years as the reference. Unfortunately it's packed away for now until remodeling/reconfiguring is completed here, and I c... | |
| DiMarzio cables Thanks! I recently picked up two 'minty' Naks (CR-3a, CR-1a) cheap myself for those basically free, or nearly so, cassettes from garage sales, the library, etc. -- first time down that road since 1970 for me! | |
| How to restore faded veneer due to sunlight? Thanks for the tip! | |
| How to restore faded veneer due to sunlight? Johnk, could you tell us what type of spray (better yet, a brand) to look for? Is this safe for most any finish, including paints and plastics? Thanks. | |
| DiMarzio cables Hi: The "new" system here is not yet up and running, but I did pick up a pair of the DiM.Super M-Path speaker cables on Audiogon awhile back, based on Keith Herron's strong recommendation. Has anyone here had experience with these? I'd very much a... | |
| CD mastering a lost art? Vegasears and Mezmo have expressed well the informed opinion. Audiophiles most definitely aren't driving this bus or influencing those who are. A few concerned artists have publicly expressed criticisms we can all relate to, but few of these have ... | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I'm sorry to report, Rwwear, that your ignorance of physics is only exceeded by your willingness to express an "opinion". | |
| Cryogenic treatment of an LP? I'll take the Dylan, Elizabeth. The sound of Dylan's harmonica in the bathroom in the morning really opens up those sleepy eyes, clears the sinuses, and dislodges the wax from your ears. | |
| best rock SACDs For Dylan fans, and apart from rate-a-record opinions on choice of backup singers and the like, the hybrid SACD reissue of 'Street Legal' resurrected a reputedly DOA technical disaster (Dylan effectively "produced") -- and rationalized track list ... | |
| Class A SS vs. Class A/B SS Though not yet set up to play -- that applies to the whole "new" system I have been assembling from the ground up -- I have a pair of the Adagios here. My expected-to-be #1 amp currently in residence is a Cy Brenneman 15+ watt SEPentode-follower (... | |
| Any Golden Ear Tech Triton Two owners? Let us know how these work out for you, and tell us about the system, LenSteve. I haven't spotted a pair of these yet on Audiogon... When they were first coming out I talked at some length with Sandy G. about the design details, and particularly h... | |
| compatibility issues with the oppo 95 and ext hd's Please excuse my typos above: the go-back-to-edit operation here doesn't work with my Android Color Nook for some reason. Thanks, Al, for the tips. I would certainly like to believe some clever folks will figure out work-arounds and, maybe, simple... | |
| compatibility issues with the oppo 95 and ext hd's Very disappointing, indeed -- particularly if they are just going to shrug their shoulders and respond, "Oh, well... that's just how it is". How long is it going to take for someone with the resources to finally stop and think long enough to get t... |
