Audiophile quality Mozart??? Well I really have a hard time recommending an opera recording from a audiophile perspective. The quality of the singing should trump the quality of the recording.That said, the Solti/London Philharmonic recording is very good from a singing persp... | |
could someone help with this composition It is from "Die Walküre". | |
could someone help with this composition Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" | |
tough sounds to reproduce ??? The lower octaves of a piano, more than the highs. I like to use piano music as part of my demo of audio gear. If the piano sounds right, the other sounds usually fall in place pretty well. | |
RCA plugs that don't fit. WBT connectors screw tighten. They are designed that way. You need to unscrew/loosen them. Hold the Gold part near the cable end and twist the black housing. If the end of the RCA plug is pointing up I think twisting left to right is loosen. Then ... | |
Dumb Question 36 Yes, Yes, leave the preamp on all the time. It was designed that way on purpose. It would take a few hours for the FETs (Field Effect Transistors) to get up to speed if you shut it off. By the time the preamp warmed up fully, you would be done lis... | |
Is it my imagination? Actually eBay frowns on people who run an auctions and have it listed for sale elsewhere. They've delisted people for ending auctions early because they sold the item elsewhere.Advertising an eBay auction elsewhere is OK, I am referring to a regul... | |
TV Antenna and Satellite on one coax cable I would add another run for the satellite dish. Why take the chance. You can split/combine the two cables with a switch box at the HT system or TV.When I bought my current house they had an antenna (attic) also, but it was plugged into where the c... | |
Is it my imagination? Yes it is arbitrage. I would think it is usually the other way. eBay seems to get higher prices most of the time if it is a well know brand. Rotel, B&W, NAD, MSB, Adcom, Nordost and high end Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo, etc.I've actually had dealer... | |

7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Doc: My favorite is Mike Vansevers. He is an engineer who was a non-believer. When he discovered he was mistaken, he did so much research to figure out why cables and AC power have a sound, he ended up going into the Cable and Power Conditioning b... | |
7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? Paulwp: not talking about you (the OEM/Vahalla comment).See Fizgig above; and I am referring to other posts as well.Regards... | |
A great SS preamp with separate power supply Conrad Johnson Motif MC-7. Also on the budget end the early Stan Warren Superfon Preamps. | |
the unaccompanied voice I got my music and it was done on Garrison's American Radio Company programs when he was in New York. There are some real audio (not Garrison's) sample clips at: http://www.laurendale.com/item.asp?ID=CH-1062&http://www.laurendale.com/item.asp?... | |
7500 for USED cables? Are they joking? I've heard many many poorly engineered recordings; so whoever said a recording engineer is an expert? The recording engineers I know are very frugal types. They are just too cheap to spend more than $20 on a cable. When they make a recording only ... |
