| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Let me clarify my response a bit.Changing from Cable A to Cable B can IMPROVE the performance of a system, not necessarily take it "sideways" or "tune it" as per someone's personal preference. The cable change can achieve this by actually improvin... | |
| Has The Maker ever seen yours? Tim, that was a good question for Twl. What we really want to know is, as a small manufacturer, does he expense account all of the times that he takes this "client" out for breakfast, lunch, dinner, entertainment, etc.. : )I recently read in Bound... | |
| Cartridge frequency response specs The frequency response of most cartridges vary DRASTICALLY as the load in the phono stage, tonearm cable and interconnects are altered. IAR covered this in Journal 5 to a very great extent. Moncrieff went so far as to take 54 high end cartridges a... | |
| Listener magazine defunct ?? I like BFS ( Bound For Sound ) but would say that Marty's interaction with specific individuals & manufacturers does influence his likes / dislikes. I think that BFS is more honest than many of the other mag's out there, but not to the point t... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck I have to agree with Mr Crump. Knowing that Bob Crump markets his own line of audio cables ( TG Audio ) and therefore has a LOT to loose by saying what he did adds further weight to his statements. The fact that he is a business partner with John ... | |
| Small monitors for a dear aunt The less expensive route:An NAD integrated ( which is warm and smooth ) with a set of smaller Pinnacles ( either 6 1/2" or 8" two way's / tend to sound a TAD bright / pretty efficient ) should work well together. The more expensive route:Musical F... | |
| I can't really hear a big difference My experience with CD players is that the average ones sound like average ones. When you hit a really good one, you will know it instantaneously.Having said that, i have to agree with several of the points made above. 1) Each component will only b... | |
| Outdoor antenna setup Folks, i understand how all of this stuff works. I make my living working on, modifying and using radio communications gear. I also know that as frequency rises, ground wave transmission distance falls off. I also know that various modes of operat... | |
| Outdoor antenna setup While i forgot to look up line losses for RG-6 quad shield vs low loss foam twin-lead at work today, i just happened to run across an "antique" GC Electronics catalogue that i had handy from 1976 !!! In it, i can find a multitude of antennas that ... | |
| Outdoor antenna setup I don't want to completely contradict TWL's post, but those figures do not sound right to me at all. I think that what i've read relates to reception distances being limited to appr 15 degrees beyond the horizon. This is strictly discussing "groun... | |
| Review: Purist Dominus Interconnect Nice write up and good logic. I can see how one might confuse the benefits of moving the rack ( which we KNOW would be beneficial ) and going to a much higher quality albeit longer interconnect. Chances are, you noticed both at the same time and i... | |
| Interesting link on hifi stuff (2) Much of what Ethan presents as "fact" is actually "opinion" and quite "totalitarian" in scope. For those that are too lazy to cut and paste, here's a direct link to the website. Since i was the one that "whined" the loudest about wanting to post l... | |
| Questions re Adcom GFP-750 in a combo system Thank You VERY much for the quick and thorough responses. That took care of all of my questions : ) Sean> | |
| What is the deal with the ART DIO I would only add that i think that the physical layout of a circuit becomes FAR more critical with digital signals due to their "RF based" nature than it is with other standard line level analogue circuitry. With a chassis the size of the Dio and ... | |
| What to do when seller does not send item paid for Natalie,Have you ever wondered if:A) the items that you posted attracted a certain type of person or crowd ? B) how you worded your ads left you open for quite a bit of nit-picking and / or tire-kicking ?C) the manner in how you conducted business... |
