| CD player with best dynamics? 47 Labs Flatfish--find it much more dynamic, purer, and faster than Levinson 390s, Wadia 850, and Electrocompaniert EMC MkI and II. Also has a larger sound-stage... Any harshness can be tuned away through support (try Symposium Rollerblocks on an ... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Ivo: thanks for your post on the 0.65mm OTA power cords. This must be the ones 47/Konus used in Frankfurt, right? You formerly used Electrocompaniert, Transparent, and OTA 0.4mm power cables in the past. Are the comparative statements in your 5-17... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit I just discovered there are TWO OTAs! There is a .65mm version in addition to the .40mm version of OTA. The .65mm version is explicitly designed for power cables, but not recommended for IC and speaker cable applications--although I remember a pos... | |
| Acid Jazz? Groove Merchant at Luv N'Haight Records (San Francisco: tel./fax. 415.252.5766) put out years ago (acid jazz is sort of an old fashion by now) a series of commpilation tapes (yes, cassette tapes) called "Classic Acid Jazz." There were at least 6 v... | |
| 10 sonically best rock recordings ? Installment number 3 of my list of top ten. These are vinyl LP listings, with the country of origin indicated.1. Suede, Sci-Fi Lullabies (NUDE 488851 2). British pressing. Ed buller of 140 dB knew how to record vintage guitars and tube amplifiers.... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Over? The question remains whether the topic of the "tangle" (the whole entanglement of a 4-way tele-friendship or tele-foe-ship--about which, at least, we have more knowledge) between asa, Bwhite, sead, and I should have been brought to the light... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Asa, re.: "what misguided probability analysis led you to the conclusion that "push" should be excised from its context for your suddenly literal purposes?" Two questions: 1.) What diacritical marks in the 04-25-02 post to Bwhite indicate that you... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Asa, while I agree with some of what you say in your response, I need to clarify some things. First, your first correction (1. in the above) of me.Asa (04-30-02): "Where do you get off insinuating that I "personally" got someone to buy cable and n... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Bwhite, asa, sead. I have corresponded with all three of you by e-mail, bought equipment from two of you, and know for certain that you ALL are extremely gentlemanly, highly experienced audiophiles. Why is it that you are so prickly towards one an... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Bwhite: OTA demands nothing less than the silver-wired Convergents :-) Dekay: those are very long runs of OTA speaker cable. When I was getting started with the kit, I tried out two lengths of OTA speaker cable: 3.4 meters and 1.8 meters. The shor... | |
| Is the Mephisto II reliable? I have had the Mephisto II CD Transport for more than two years, and I have never had any problems with it. I only used the Tracking feature once. The Tracking regulator allows you to adjust "from the outside" the E-F Balance between two photo-dio... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Bwhite: puncto primal, puncto final. By returning to the AN/NBS combination, it seems that these expensive cables cannot be surpassed by OTA in your system. (BTW, your Lamm amplifiers are probably "good enough for OTA" ;-) Peronally, I have been p... | |
| Weirdest Question asked when selling gear? "Does it make women horny?" | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Dekay, sounds as if you accidentally "bridged" your tonearm with the minus signal from your cartridge. Thus nothing much to do except to repair the tone arm cable or isolate the tone arm from the ground signal. | |
| What's inside these aluminum/metal cases? Bishopwill, I have to know the name of this 10K + tube amp you described. Was it made in Italy, by any chance (just a guess)? Ascribe it to a different mentality or interest focus, but most every German audio magazine publishes at least one photo ... |
