| What is your favorite recording with a quirck Try listening for the first chorus on The Cars Best Friends Girl. The drummer is playing a typical backbeat with snare on 2 and 4....guess what...... he misses the "2" at the start of the 1st chorus completely! HA. HA. | |
| What is your favorite recording with a quirck I don't know if there are any U2 fans out there but the UK Walk On Single is played on a entirely different drum set. It is also not as badly compressed as the American verison. In the American version you can actually hear the volume adjustments ... | |

| Effective AC power conditioners for digital?? I too have always found purchasing higher quality components with properly designed power supplies avoids the detrimental effects of conditioning altogether. Absolutely agree. I would add that switched mode power supplies - which have become popu... | |
| RMAF 2008 - Your impressions,... I have heard one of the UK's most respected hi-fi reviewers personal system on more than one occasion and I must say it brought tears to a glass eye. Gawdbless,Out of curiosity - What were the components in this system? | |
| Does the Transport make a significant difference? If the DAC is excellent at jitter rejection then it won't make a difference (one jitter immune input versus another should sound the same as it is all just bits). If the DAC is less than perfect at jitter rejection then it could matter. So your re... | |
| Vandersteen 5a battery biased crossovers I did some digging around. JBL use this Vandersteen idea in their K2 speaker. As you are probably aware capacitors vary in quality and linearity. If you bias a polypropylene cap then the distortion products (due to non-linearity) will still be the... | |
| Vandersteen 5a battery biased crossovers I have thought a bit more about it and since a battery typically has about 1.7 ohms of internal resistance and since it must be part of the circuit somehow then you may need to worry about it. A leaky or corroded battery or a change in the battery... | |
| Preamplifier power supply Or would that be confusing good food with all you can eat melamine? | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? It is not unrealistic to speculate that they might never have been anything more than a local, cult band lost in the rest of the British invasion if George Martin had not "discovered" them and guided their development. I quite agree. A good coach... | |
| Paradigm Studio 100 v1 Tweeter Swap Success Thank you for posting, very interesting read! Right now I feel I know just enough to be dangerous, definitely have a lot of learning to do yet. LOL! Me too! FWIW: thanks for the reply - it is nice to see people who share - so many people take wha... | |
| Preamplifier power supply How about the local Chinese buffet? What you mean the new Mission, Quad, Wharfedale, Tag McLaren and AudioLab speakers?Or would that be confusing China with cheaper? LOL | |
| One sub, a two channel system ,one HT reciever ?? I was a Quad dealer for over 20 years and of course they are famous for distorted sound. Do I detect some tongue-in cheek?I would add that anyone with a typical modern system where it is often difficult to hear dialogue on movies without jacking ... | |
| Ever had a "Promotional Copy" surprise your ears? Michael Jackson's demo "Don't want to be starting something" is worth a listen for curiosity. (Bro and sis help out - even using a bottle for percussion) | |
| To DAC or not to DAC... Think of the modded Benchmark as a double the price Apogee wannabee, lol. I agree. If you don't like the precision of Benchmark and want something more "musical" then why buy a benchmark and mod it? Lavry DA10 is another less precission sounding ... |
