| 5 most overrated movies ever...... George hit it on the head with Blair Witch Project. Not only was this film horrid, it made me physically ill due to all of the camera "bouncing". There has been no other movie made for so little money that grossed so much and created such an initi... | |
| Converting to Analog I think that you can do a good basic vinyl system for a lot less than what people think. I would suggest starting off with a moderate set-up and go from there. Just keep in mind that there are a lot more rungs on the ladder should you choose to cl... | |
| Mods : Fools Gold or the Real Thing Look at it this way: every $1 that a manufacturer puts into a product drives the suggested retail price up by $4 - $8. Since most products are built to a price point that most consumers can afford, they can all be improved by substitution of highe... | |
| What are the 5 most overrated rock albums? To respond to the above comments, all i will say is that unless you know a lot about the internal workings and conflicts within Pink Floyd AND have a solid background on English politics at street level, you will never come close to understanding ... | |
| cables 101? The brands and differant sounds? Unsound, i don't have too much experience with shielded speaker cables. I've only ever run one pair and they definitely sounded "different" than some others that i had of similar geometry but lacking the shielding. On one specific amp that has alw... | |
| Tom Waits Mingus, try checking out Primus' "Antipop" song 13 ( what a coincidence, huh ?? ) titled "Coattails of a Dead Man". The title even sounds like a Waits song.... Sean> | |
| Familiar with the Audio Legend Grandpad, my experience is just like yours and Joekras. I too liked the Legend "sound". Don't know which component was contributing what to the sound, but as a whole, it was very good. The little pyramid shaped monitors use a Focal mid-woofer and ... | |
| BC Recommends-Grace by Jeff Buckley I thought that he had at least two discs out ??? My girlfriend likes him although i've never listened to any of his stuff. Sean> | |
| homeade equipment racks?? opinions? While not exactly the same design, you might be able to find some worthwhile tips in these two threads. Sean>http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1001889380&read&keyw&zzthreaded=rodhttp://www.audioasylum.com/audio/gener... | |
| between this two preamps which is the better I have little doubt in my mind that the PS would be a more neutral sounding preamp between the two mentioned. Is there a specific reason as to why your choices are limited between the two of these ? Sean> | |
| Which worse- long I/C of speaker run Kenl, cables of any type are a pretty subjective matter. As such, the results that one achieves ( or should i say perceives ??? ) are due to personal tastes and system synergy. Having said that, i think that Kimber 8TC's are pretty solid cables. T... | |
| cables 101? The brands and differant sounds? All Kimber speaker cables are of a low inductance design and typically offer a very low nominal impedance also. The 8 series and above are low in both inductance and nominal impedance. The 4 series still measure better than most but only half as g... | |
| What ever happened to the stable platter? I don't know if Wadia did, but i know that Theta did on the Pearl and Miles. Sean> | |
| Twisted or Straight? Ozfly, increased inductance on a power cord has its' ups and downs. As inductance is increased, you obtain a natural amount of high frequency roll-off. Kind of like a "low pass filter" that lets the low frequencies "pass through" and attenuates "h... | |
| What ever happened to the stable platter? The fact that Pioneer has discontinued production of this mechanism may have put a BIG damper on things. Sean> |
