| Satisfied with your DIY power cord? I have a DIY made with Neotech NEP 3200 cable and Wattgate 350i and 330i. Easily surpases a Shunyata Cobra, my present choice vs. a Black Sand Silver Ref. V on my preamp.This cord is also very competitive with all the other more expensive PCs in m... | |
| Loudspeakers with a wide sweet spot Agree with the omni suggestion, planars and Alon/Nola a couple more choices. | |
| Nick Drake and others like him Listen to Neil Halstead, sometimes fools me as the reincarnation of Drake!Some others from back in the day: Incredible String Band, Sandy Denny, agree with the older Tim Buckley, Shawn Phillips, The Gentle Soul, Chuck & Mary Perrin, Ron Elliot... | |
| The Beatles albums finally all remastered About time! I'm hoping these are done right, mono mixes will be nice as well. | |
| Canned Heat Live at the Kaliedescope Lounge Oh yeah, have lots of Canned Heat, both on vinyl and cd. I've always wanted to get the Canned Heat and John Lee Hooker stuff. | |
| Is dirty power the culprit? I would guess both power and the human factors cited above are likely culprits.It could also be you just don't like your present system. I've had similar feelings about systems over the years, I'm finally at the point where I like my system all th... | |
| Should I do it or Not??? Tech question Part 2 Just goes to show how DIY works when you use your brain and have some guts, good for you! Starting with less valuable equipment is defintely the way to go. | |
| Is A Live Concert Stereo Or Mono Unamplified concerts I would suggest are multi-dimensional, essentially you have the sound of each seperate instrument mixing with all the other instruments. All this sound arrives at the listener with varrying intensities and timings. I don't hea... | |
| Which has greatest influence? Only as good as your weakest link, hard to answer. Lets say you had nice equipment and speaker cables were the weak link, I think the system could still sound fine, you may not even be aware the speaker cables are the weak link. And so some things... | |
| Having guarantee issues with KR Audio? Sounds like KR definitely has some quality control issues. I had two KR 845 tubes go bad in my Art Audio Carissa Signature, I was lucky that Joe covered them as he had mentioned he likely wouldn't be covered by KR. I have TJ Fullmusic 845's instal... | |
| top ten things you learned about HiFi on Agon May sound circular and stupid, but everything is everything. In other words, everything matters, the weak link in one's system can be anything, I can't even begin to make a list of what's most or least important.And then, if that's not enough, thi... | |
| Mellencamp on Music Business Shouldn't the consumers blame themselves for this state of affairs, the masses wouldn't know 'quality' music if it hit them right between the eyes.I also don't believe consumers have evolved, rather they have devolved, popular music increasingly g... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? Your best bet, do all the above! I've done everything but the balanced cable (too much SE equipment I love), clean AC is quite an advance in sonics.Also, if not previously mentioned, make sure you have a good solid house ground. | |
| Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables? Sounds like you respect these guy's opinions, seems your bound to try their suggestions.Don't you find it odd the one guy "strongly advocates" cables he carries! Now, to be fair, perhaps he has tried many others, still....Advocating only stock pow... | |
| HELP I think I have an electrical issue?? A balanced transformer didn't eliminate my problem, I do agree it eliminates a lot of garbage riding on lines.A transformer and balanced cables may or may not do the trick for Tmmesselt. |
