| I don't remember much, but I remember...... DoWah Diddy Diddy Dum Diddy Do was my first 45, played by a fine sewing needle and paper "horn" held by a 10yr old human "arm" on my folks broken Phico console.I was hooked! Next came my very own Hammond B! | |
| Copper v. Silver IC sound Phononic Energy?! Just means LOUDNESS, right? Correlated to sones, etc....Yet indeed I find a shimmeriness (good word) for the silver IC I used from CDP to pre. A great all copper cable seems fuller in the mids, but I believe only because the silv... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. C'mon, Asa, you needn't pee in the sandbox.... | |
| Best Patricia Barber's CD? Where is Cambudge? | |
| Keeping PT combo, or buy new CDP??? I struggled for most of the last year with a new middle and back end, trying various front ends. Dismissed the ARCAM, Bel Canto, and a couple of others, then stumbled upon the Electrocompaniet emc-1, esp in MkII guise. An amazing front end. Once i... | |
| Siltech G3 X H.T. ProSilway II Good question! I tried Pro-Silways to my Pass pre and found them a bit lean and bright, with a too laid back midrange.Strongly prefer Discovery Essence now. Found the Nordost Red Dawn and the HT VERY similar, which surprised me.If you decide to go... | |
| B&W 803N/ any comments? See other threads re my comments re 803N and its failings particularly in the nearfield. I strongly preferred Revel F30 at 2/3 the price. But tastes and rooms sho do vary! | |
| Best Patricia Barber's CD? Companion. No question for me.... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Leave her out of this, Bry! | |
| Power SWITCH source? Also: 10AWG vs 83803? Thanks, Bob. I misstated the gauge above; I just spent two friggin hours manipulating cable and jumpers of TEN-2AWG into that junction box with the double-pole (I wired both legs) and the hosp grade outlet. Simply forgot how damned stiff 10AWG sol... | |
| Power SWITCH source? Also: 10AWG vs 83803? Guess I'll ttalk to myself....Found a nice 30amp double-pole Leviton switch for $10 at HD today, as well some $0.27/ft 12-2Romex. Outdoor double-duplex boxes ($7) look good enough for living room use.Now to get those ACME silver-tipped outlets, an... | |
| Speaker Placement - Vaulted Ceilings Busaganashi,Yes, indeed, the 803N image well. But that just means that B&W does a good job matching a PAIR of speakers to each other, probably through their normal manufacturing controls re reference levels and component values, etc.It also me... | |
| "I am there" vs. "They are here" Good one, Greg.I often note at my favorite venues (Symphony Hall and Jurdan Hall in Boston) that NO pinpoint imaging occurs.The closer perspectives in a medium-sized hall can be better correlated visually, but the larger Symohony Hall's imaging ca... | |
| Tell me if i got it wrong.. Asa, Onhwy61.Sorry, I only have a minute.Asa, please don't be so defensive! Whereas my accusation may have seemed callous, it was simply a non-calculated quick response to your first conjectures re "tubes=pleasure" vs "ss=cognition", if you will.I... | |
| Any descent keyboard for my wife. Please send photos! I've got a used Ribbon Mahogany Steinway B, so she'd better be worth it! |
