| Tracking Force - Where to set it? Bear: I agree about the old Shure's "lack" of sound quality. I personally liked some of the older Ortofon's, Stanton's and AT cartridges, but found that the AT's almost all exhibited a pretty hot top end. The cool thing about some of the AT's and ... | |
| Why do digital cables sound different? John: I don't think that you'll find anyone here that would deny that brands / prices / cosmetics may have more influence over what we hear than many of us would like to admit. I try to forget about all of this stuff and just listen. Obviousy, i t... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em I agree with the basic premise of your comments i.e. an impedance compensation network is valid for the specific system that it was designed for. Change just one variable ( speaker, cable, amplifier, etc... ) and that network is no longer valid or... | |
| OT: History / slang terms and what they all mean Ohlala: You would think that they would send these people "downstream" from them i.e. would you want to be drawing your bath & drinking water when you had a bunch of "derelicts" living upstream ? Slang terms aside, it sounds like the designers... | |
| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? I think that a lot of what people mean by speakers "opening up" when being fed by a measurably bigger amp is actually related to the lack of dynamic compression that the bigger amp doesn't have to deal with. Not only does the sound improve in term... | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Unklecrusty: I am not defending MIT, Transparent, etc... I have no real experience with them nor do i feel the need to investigate them. Having said that, all i can say is that changing the line length of ANY speaker cable will present the amplifi... | |
| Shanling CDT-100.........ANY GOOD?? Nice feedback Ljgj. While i've read comments about this player, nobody really gave a point of reference as to what they were comparing it to. The fact that you did and then gave even more info about it was a nice change of pace. Sean> | |
| Any experience converting 2 prong ac to power cord Invest in a device that checks the polarity of your wall outlets first. These can be had at Rat Shack or a local hardware / electrical supply store. Then invest in an inexpensive multimeter. Once again, these can be found at Rat Shack or a local h... | |
| OT: History / slang terms and what they all mean Fatparrot: The preferrence on how to listen to music in the 1500's was to do it live, with your own group of musicians playing in the chamber : ) Sean> | |
| Why do Maggies need a lot of power? Due to the dynamic nature of music, recorded peaks above the average power level required may climb past 10 dB's. In terms of amplifier power, 10 dB's is equivalent to 10 times the amount of power. As such, your calculations ( which i did not veri... | |
| Sunfire vs. Rotel Sound & Vision just did a "generic" ( the whole magazine is pretty generic ) review of the Sunfire TG III, Anthem AVM-20 and Aragon Soundstage in the latest issue. While most of the writing is gibberish, it does cover the high points of each d... | |
| I don't understand Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" You mean that "Kind of Blue" was not an original title by Patricia Barber ??? : ) Sean> | |
| Custom Rack Stand Why don't you just build your own ? Everything that you need can be found at Home Depot, Builders Square, Menard's, etc... You can build it to whatever size / shape that you require and apply the finish of your choice. A little bit of elbow grease... | |
| Tracking Force - Where to set it? Pbb, my comments were based on the earlier V15's. I do not know how well the newer series compare to the earlier ( V15 Type IV, Type III, etc... ) series. Sean> | |
| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? Jdubusc: Out of curiosity, which Millennium did you hear ? Ric has made the Millennium, Millennium 1A, Millennium 1B and the Millennium II. For the record, I have a Millennium II, my Brother has a Millennium 1B and my Father is using a Millennium ... |
