| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? Quick update. I bought a Music Hall A15.2 integrated amp about two months ago. I hardly used it until a few nights ago. I was listening to my ipod through the mini jack on the front when the left channel went dead. Testing it showed that it was de... | |
| Who listens only to vinyl? I'd say I listen to vinyl about 80% of the time. My main system has a CD player attached but it is almost never turned on. I only listen to digital for the convenience (in the car, on the plane, at work, etc.). My second system does not have a tur... | |
| 3M Sound Damping Foil Tape Thanks for all of the responses. I started my search for this material with the intent of applying it to the MDF shelves of my DIY rack. I have also heard of some mods to electronics that included applications like this, but this is not my first p... | |
| Happy Record Store Day I went to Electric Fetus in Minneapolis at 9:30 this morning and received a number when I walked in (#317) and was told they were letting folks into the "special" area in order. At that time they were on number 52, so I gave up and went to Treehou... | |
| Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables Yes, they are now fully broken in and sound even better now. | |
| FLAC On A Mac I'm not sure what you mean, but I am a total newb to this, so you may be right. What I do know is that I can download the hi-res files and play them without any conversion necessary with Songbird. If I want to play them in itunes I have to convert... | |
| Neil Young Trademarks New Audio Format He doesn't care enough about sound IMO. I have bought several of the audiophile vinyl reissues of his (at a very premium price nonetheless) and have found the vinyl to be thin, flimsy, and not flat. I'm on my second copy of Harvest because the fir... | |
| Time for a new deck I agree with Sebrof. Find yourself a Concept used for about $1000 and you will not be disappointed. Even if you have to pay $1500 for a new one it is well worth the price and is in my opinion the best value in a "deck" under $2000. You can upgrade... | |
| Bourbon and rock n roll I love Bourbon more than any other alcoholic drink on this planet. Prefer it on the rocks. I'll drink most anything but really like Maker's Mark. Recently I picked up some of the Costco house brand bourbon for $20/liter and find it quite nice. I w... | |
| FLAC On A Mac I just faced this same problem and solved it by downloading songbird for Mac. It plays flac files without conversion required. It's a free download. | |
| Thoughts on Clear Day vs Grover Huffman SC's? I concur with what Mcondon wrote. The Clear Day Double Shotguns with jumpers are the best sounding speaker wires I have heard, and are a great bargain. I have stated this opinion many times on these boards, so I am beginning to sound like a shill,... | |
| Thrift Store Vinyl Finds Many years ago when I lived in Japan and vinyl was dead I was at a flea market and found a Japanese pressing of Elvis Costello Get Happy! and The Jam Snap! both with obi for 100 yen each (about a buck each), both in brand new condition. I still ow... | |
| Neil Young Trademarks New Audio Format Neil loves his money. Seems like he wants to be Steve Jobs. | |

| Crystal Clear vs. Home Grown You should try the Clear Day Cables double shotgun speaker cables with optional jumpers. For about $500 you will love these cables and they include a 30 day money back guarantee.They are an awesome bargain in high end. |
