| Duped again It's funny all the complaints about the new Floyd Reissues. I have purchased all three: Dark Side, Wish, and The Wall. All sound phenomenal to my ears, and I consider myself to be very picky. That said, I have not been buying all of their other re... | |
| Which LPs are on your permanent rotation? Wilco - All of their LPs, Tom Waits early stuff, Radiohead OK Computer, Elvis Costello Imperial Bedroom, Early Dead, Keith Richards solo stuff, Stones Exile on Main St. | |
| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? I'm told it is the relay board that controls the remote that is bad. The problem varies between turning the amp on and the sound not working to the remote control not working. I guess it is a known issue and also a simple fix, but it does require ... | |
| What do you feel? The simple answer is that music makes me happy.The long answer is not so much an answer as it is an explanation of my history with music. Ever since I was about 5 years old I have loved rock music. I used to listen daily to the top 40 station on a... | |
| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? Update: In my original post I mentioned the CARY SLI-80 that was bad and got replaced. The replacement WAS working good but now has developed the same problem as the one it replaces. Guess I'll be sending this one back and will be without an amp f... | |
| Replacing Power Cord On Flat Screen TV Thanks for the responses. My TV looks darn good now, but I can't say it looks noticeably better. I'll do some more comparing and report back. | |
| Clear Day Interconnects I ordered a set of the ICs when Paul told me he was thinking of bringing them back, because my experience with the Double Shotgun speaker cables I purchased from him was stunningly good. I absolutely swear by his speaker cables, so trying the ICs ... | |
| Help with my analog rig. If I'm not mistaken low level hum is usually a ground issue. Is your abode a modern one or do you live in an old building? I know many old buildings do not have grounded electrical, so you need to find a true ground to tap into to overcome it. Als... | |
| Are High End Audio Products Unreliable? Sabai, why not name names? This is the kind of info the rest of us would like to know, otherwise you are not holding the manufacturers accountable. Their greatest motivation to make better products is consumers speak out. Thanks | |
| How do I connect headphones to a vintage amp? I'm not familiar with that amp, but if there is no headphone jack built in you can purchase a headphone preamp and run it through one of the RCA inputs. THere are many affordable ones on the market. | |
| How important is an audio rack? I built a rack out of 5/8" threaded bar and MDF that definitely improved the sound of my system, but it has taken a while to get everything working together the way I like it. For example, the turntable is on the top shelf at a height of about 4 f... | |
| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? I'm not sure anyone has mentioned this one yet because I couldn't read all 6 pages of (very interesting) contributions (yet), but taking one or two tokes of some reasonably potent weed prior to listening can completely change how the music sounds,... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? I lived in Japan for 9 years and was an audiophile at that time, so I purchased several Japanese components, all of which had two prong plugs. I did not understand why at the time but reading this thread taught me the differences, so thanks to all... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations please I disagree, frankly, but I also believe that using metaphor is often more descriptive than a pure descriptive. When one reaches an epiphany it changes that person's perspective on things. While for some it might not seem that their life has change... | |
| Speaker cable recommendations please More accurately, they changed the sound of my system so dramatically for the better that I would classify them as creating an epiphany in my audiophile evolution. |
