| What is your opinion regarding electrostatics? Sorry i left you hanging on some questions / statements folks. As to why i'm opting for e-stat's for the tweeters, let's just say i ran across a great deal on a good quantity of small electrostatic tweeter panels made by RTR. While i think that th... | |
| FM Tuners Good point Sugar. The system is only as strong as its' weakest link. As to Celtic66's comment about selectivity, that becomes more critical in highly congested areas with a LOT of nearby signals or when you live in an area where multiple stations ... | |
| Musical Fidelity MC-4 owners:Time to upgrade?? I'm pretty sure that Martin is still working for Stereophile. As such, you can probably try dropping them a line and see if he responds to you. Hope this helps and good luck. Please let us know where it ends up at.... Sean> | |
| FM Tuners I would say that the sound quality of the specific NAD that i mentioned was "mid pack". In other words, it wasn't phenomenal and wasn't the worst. Then again, i have never even bothered to hook it up to even a wire dipole since that "piece of coax... | |
| Audio Recession I have seen some PHENOMENAL deals lately. Needless to say, they are marked as "sold" pretty quickly. Evidently, there is still enough "pocket money" floating around for those "killer deals" when they do pop up. Otherwise, i do agree with the rest ... | |
| Can a Sumiko BPS be retipped at a reasonable cost. I think that it was Cory Greenberg that "solved" the Grado hum problem on the Linn's. I'm sure that digging through some old Stereophile's will turn up the exact solution. I think it was simply a matter of adding some shielding above the motor and... | |

| Musical Fidelity MC-4 owners:Time to upgrade?? Try contacting Martin Colloms himself and ask for an unbiased opinion. He can probably offer a better, more informed point of view than any of us here. Besides being able to see dozens upon dozens of speakers due to his line of work, he would also... | |
| Why no index to indicate proper listening level? Sugarbrie brings up an interesting point about the preamp setting the level automatically. Only problem with this is his previous disclaimer. Due to different loading characteristics of the room, various speaker sensitivities, etc... the preamp wo... | |
| FM Tuners Using all capitals is extremely annoying. It also makes it harder to read and follow along. I know that you've been asked NOT do this in the past and we are asking again. Please refrain from using all capital letters when posting.The most sensitiv... | |
| sunfire sig 600,krell 300fpb,levinson 333,what do you think The guys that make Pipe Dreams told me that they considered the Sunfire Signature to be the most well balanced amplifier available at anywhere near the price. They considered the big Krell's slightly superior in bass "slam" ( which they are ) whil... | |
| Audio Desk CD Edge Trimmer I have one of these devices and find it to make the most difference on poorly recorded discs. Discs that are "muddy" or "murky" sounding are cleared up quite a bit. Vocals are also more discernable, small details seem to rise to the surface, some ... | |
| Test CD's Since there is no single disc that does everything, I was thinking about burning a disc composed of the specific songs that i like to judge the sonic attributes of components or systems by. By having several different types of music with very spec... | |
| Running a CD player directly into power amps, Croese, i'm assuming that your commentary pertaining to "bullshit" and "charlatans" was aimed at myself or possibly one other post previous to yours. While i can't respond for the other participants, I was simply trying to cover all the bases in a... | |
| What is the most efficient speaker? If you are looking for the MOST efficient, i think that you would have to go with a speaker based upon TAD drivers. TAD is the professional division of Pioneer Japan. They make some ULTRA efficient drivers. While there might be more efficient desi... |
