| Power conditioner types @bruce19 - painting won't cut it = I asked Furman about switching faceplate colors and haven't heard back...I doubt they would do it.So if I understand this correctly, the only real way to do what I asked is to have some kind of rechargeable batte... | |
| Power conditioner types @erik_squires - sounds like you are a fan of my Furman.....good to know. Now if I can only get a silver face plate for it......any ideas? | |
| Power conditioner types @millercarbon - I have one - a Furman elite 15i, which is a little above entry level and was thinking about upgrading to one that did more than filter. When I originally got it, it was for functionality of having a large number of outlets and prot... | |
| Gimbal vs unipivot tonearms @mijostyn - that's what I thought, but why have I seen them on some pretty expensive ($10K+) VPI tables?@mr_m - I've heard good things about WTL arms - I guess quasi unipivot is the key - whatever that means. | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? @speakermaster - it’s not just about the sound quality. I have Gaucho on a Japanese pressing and it is one of my top sounding records, easily. That doesn’t mean it’s one of the best compared to Aja, Royal Scam, Pretzel Logic....IMO Aja is one of t... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? @idigmusic64 - how do you know 2 Against Nature is up next? Are any others being planned or is it wishful thinking?I thought there were rights issues preventing some reissues as they changed labels I think 3 or more times. There certainly would be... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? @tomic601 - you should have returned it. It sounds great and since it is on 2 records, you don’t go too far into the middle on the 3 sides. That shows caring about quality instead of jamming it onto 2 sides. Whoever heard of leaving a side blank (... | |

| Stratospheric audio gear prices @unreceiveddogma - glad you agree about the system plateau for excellent sound, but who are we to say what is an insane amount of money to spend on audio? Some would consider $10-15K out of pocket on $20-25K worth of retail priced audio insane (in... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? Hey pgaulke60 - ALL SD should is good (mostly great) and should be appreciated. As far as not being a band, I guess you have never seen them in concert this century. They've had minimal personnel changes in like 20 years and they tour pretty much ... | |
| Does Steely Dan sound bright to you? They sound the way Steely Dan wants (ed) them to sound. Excellent. Some bands care more than others about SQ. Some don't. I think they are at the top of the list.My MFSL Aja jacket is a disaster. Record itself is perfectly clean. Been played more ... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @vinylshadow - see what Peter at Symposium says about the amps. I have my amp and phono stage on Roller Block Jrs because they drain and isolate. He calls everything vibration control, because that is what you are doing in either situation.Since m... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @steakster - wow- you know a hell of a lot more than me about Symposium. My thoughts with my speakers on Segues are two fold- 1) they get rid of/drain internal speaker noise while providing some isolation, and 2, I did not want my speakers being u... | |
| Boy, Oh Boy! Towshend! @vinylshadow - I don't know why you are not calling Peter at Symposium. He has one product called a svelte shelf that is really thin (I think a half inch or so) that might be perfect for you. It isolates and removes vibrations. He could be the ans... | |
| Why Do So Many Audiophiles Reject Blind Testing Of Audio Components? If it actually sounds better or it doesn't but you think it does, all that matters is someone is happy with their purchase. Also, of course everyone's hearing and listening capabilities and appreciation is a big variable.I have found some things d... |
