| Recommend me a good psychologist You've fallen into the trap that most of us do. You assembled a "Hi-Fi" and not a "music system". Your probably looking for a "cross" between the two, something that will keep your toes tappin' for ALL of your discs but will still allow you to tak... | |
| Suggestions For A DAC Since you listen primarily to jazz, i would shoot for the Alpha ( 16 bit ). Not only is this unit very reasonably priced, the liquidity of tube midrange on vocals is outstanding, the slight warmth and wetness of stand-up bass is untouched and treb... | |

| What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound????? Speaking of "liquid CD's", i'm surprised that you did not mention your Audio Desk Systeme, Bob. Then again, most people would NOT believe that this could make the difference that it does, but we know better from first hand experience.... Sean> | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" Nelson Pass measured, charted, documented and published measurable differences in speaker cables 20+ years ago. He even notes that some specific speaker cable / speaker combinations caused some "well respected" brand name amps to shut down / go in... | |
| home theater for 3000 Wow. That's good to know "E". I have not been in the receiver market, let alone HT receiver, for a LONG, LONG time. Out of curiousity, how much power per channel is that "baby" rated at and how many channels ??? Sean> | |
| Advice for skipping CD Are the CD's skipping in the same place on the disc all the time or at random ?Have you ever cleaned the lens within the CD Player ?How did you clean the discs ?Are the skips attributed to heavy footfalls within the room or is it simply a reading ... | |
| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" While i HATE to join back into this thread, i have been reading how some components are FAR more susceptible to cable changes than others due to design and overall circuit stability. I wish i knew how to test them to find this out. Maybe i should ... | |
| What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound????? HAHHAHAHA.. I just HAD to laugh. Even though Dunlavy thinks that we can't tell the differences between cables under controlled conditions, he is working on bringing out "new & improved" versions of what he already considered to be the best on ... | |
| Tuner question I recently swapped one of my tuners with my Dad so that we could compare notes. He has a Magnum Dynalab 101 and i gave him my Musical Fidelity E-50. He came to the same findings that i did. We both like the Musical Fidelity better. Only problem is... | |
| sony offers 3 new SACD players Cool. Where did you see this info ? Any place online that has specific specs / features / info ??? According to the info that i had, they weren't due out for another month or so. Sean> | |
| Tweeter absolutely silent. What could be the reason? To "pop" fuses, you would have to have been driving the amplifier past the point of operation that it was comfortable playing in. As such, the amp was probably clipping ( heavy distortion ) and that is what blew the tweeter. While it might not hav... | |
| home theater for 3000 You are pretty much stuck with using a receiver ( albeit a decent one ), a "speaker package" from one manufacturer and what should be a pretty solid DVD player with a few bucks left over for "reasonable" cables, a rack and some accessories IF buyi... | |
| Is Cork Effective in Room Treatment? I found Profoam to be a MASSIVE joke. What costs less than $5 to produce is sold for multitudes beyond its' true value. My suggestion is to look at some of the various DIY designs if you are at all handy and go from there. They will perform WAY, W... |
