| Closet audiophiles If you remember Tim, there was a "backlash" regarding certain policies that Audiogon had established ( somewhat forced to ). Some "regulars" stopped posting due to the fact that they did not agree with these policies. Others stepped in to fill the... | |
| New Virus starting to run wild XP just MIGHT be more stable in the long run, but it is also slower than 2000 no matter what you do to it. I had a link to a website that did a very in-depth comparison between those two using several different computers, etc... Even under optimum... | |
| Need New Cartridge Recommendation A Stanton 881S that is dialed in and properly loaded will mop the floor with the Shure. The Stanton can be found for well under $200 brand new, making it the best buy in moving magnet cartridges on the market.I will say that the newer Shure is a b... | |
| Need advice on what is a good A/C enhancer. The PS actually takes power from the wall, filters it and then regenerates it into a ( supposedly ) pure & clean sine wave. All of the others filter ( in various ways ) what is already given to you from the wall. As far as i know, this also in... | |
| Speaker efficiency vs. power requirements Drjjpdc: Your comment "Therefore a 200 watt amp has twice the wattage of a 100 watt amp and is only 3 db louder, which is about the limits that you can detect by ear." is WAY off base. I use a dB meter on a daily basis at work and differences of l... | |
| New Virus starting to run wild From doing a little research since i've gone to using XP, it appears as if Windows 2000 is the fastest and most reliable version yet. I guess it has problems with some DOS based programs though, so it may not be universal for all applications. For... | |
| Audiophile's New Year Resolutions? Looks like were all in about the same boat. Albert has had one good advantage over most of us though. It's hard to buy when your system is completely torn apart for quite a while. As such, he may have actually saved money by remodeling his listeni... | |
| tube suggestion According to what Kevin Deal of Upscale told me, the most commonly requested tube for the Cal DAC's is the Mullard. This is not to say that it is the best or that you will like it though. Most are probably purchased through suggestions like this i... | |
| Would love opinions on my HT puzzle I agree with all of the other posts. I would REALLY sit down and figure out what you like best i.e. your amp or speakers. As another poster comments, I think that the Thiel's will require different amps than what Ariel's would for optimum performa... | |
| Which speakers do the hologram thing? Detlof, the thing with live acoustic instruments is that all of the sound is initially reproduced in phase and then is "distorted" or "delayed" by room acoustics & reflections. A single full range driver that radiates omnidirectionally in phas... | |
| Directionality Bob, in what issue is that ? Do they have a website ? Sean> | |
| Triphazers - Use them? HAHAHA... Celtic66, no more Ghostbusters or Star Trek for you. Your banished to watching "low tech" stuff like Xena from now on... : ) Sean> | |
| Any audio gifts for Christmas? Sheesh Bob, you must've been an even better boy than i was this year. Between the new Accuphase amp, the VPI TT and Magnum, i think that Santa went broke buying for you. Glad to see that he still had enough pocket change to help your wife out with... | |
| New Virus starting to run wild Albert, i new that you had a Mac from previous posts but didn't know ( might've forgotten ) that Kelly was a member of that crowd also. With the two of you in the Mac crowd, i might have to re-assess my comments about them having higher than avera... | |
| upsampling/SACD I don't think that the 777 has an upsampler for redbook, but i could be wrong. Can someone clarify this one for us ? If it does, i'll be picking one up shortly.... Sean> |
