| Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright???? Blueranger: Thanks for the response. The reason that i asked is that it has been my experience that interconnects that have been in use for even many years can benefit from a thorough "cooking" on a good cable burner. As such, it would seem that y... | |
| Equipment Set-up Recommendations? Tracking at 2 grams should be plenty heavy for most any cartridge. Given that your pivoted arm seems to not have this problem, i would assume that it has something to do with the way that the air-bearing arm is installed. Then again, the pivoted a... | |
| Norah Jones? From what i understood, Fiona Apple's label basically squashed her last recorded project. They said that it wasn't marketable enough, so they weren't going to bother pressing and releasing it. At the same time, they wouldn't release her from her c... | |
| Norah Jones? There is an article / interview in the March Stereophile pertaining to the studio where Norah recorded her discs at. It is an ALL analogue studio with no digital signal manipulation what-so-ever. How or where the recordings were converted from A t... | |
| what could have happened? Plato's suggestion is a good one. If this just came about all of a sudden and haven't changed any components recently, this is a sign of AC related problems. It is possible that there was an increase in noise / interference / RFI on the line. In m... | |
| Quality RCA Switchbox I'm looking for something like that myself for use in my Father's system, but i don't think i'm going to find anything of the calibre that i want. Most of the switchboxes that i've seen are very low grade and degrade the sonics of the system. As f... | |
| Do Kimber KCAG's sound bright???? Blueranger: Glad that "burning in" the cabling worked for you and we've got another "convert" to the group of believers. Out of curiosity, how much actual playing time ( time in your system ) did you have on these cables prior to burning? Sean> | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? To be quite honest, i think that "stereo" isn't exactly the most appropriate method of live sound reproduction, especially when working with a small ensemble. If you picture a typical small band i.e. one guitar, bassist, drummer, singer and maybe ... | |
| Clean and thin sounding interconnect? You might want to look into the Magnan III's. Very nice but somewhat lean sounding cable that is very reasonably priced. As i've posted before though, interconnects are component to component interphase dependent though, so your results may vary s... | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? What i'm wondering is, just how big are some of these drum kits and how long of arms do some of these guys have? I hear cymbals five feet to one side and toms five feet to the other side. I don't know how they run back and forth hitting them while... | |
| Mel Torme Look for the discs that Mel recorded with Patty Smith. They are "killer" : ) Sean>PS... Just kidding Warren ; ) | |
| Could somebody please explain When i used to live in an apartment, most every one of my neighbors had commented to me "you sure do listen to some strange music" or something similar. As such, i must be a big fan of "eclictic" music. That is, compared to what most others listen... | |
| "Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work?? This is a link that both i and Geoff Kait have posted here previously. http://www.physics.umd.edu/lecdem/services/demos/demosk2/k2-46.htmAs to the Bedini, i've found that it basically "blackens the background" of the disc i.e. lowers the noise flo... | |
| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean I've been busy for a few days, hence the lack of response.As to my comments about "damping factor being a hoax", i'm not saying that low output impedances are a joke. What i'm saying is that how people interpret the impedance relationship between ... | |
| speaker excursion..."mo power"..and bass..Sean Capacitors DO lose power. This is called "dielectric absorption". ESR is also a term used to describe the series resistance or "internal losses" of a capacitor. If the power loss is severe, the cap "cooks" itself from the inside out and doesn't la... |
