| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Suteetat, I bought a new Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner. Of course it may take many hundred of records cleaned for me to know that it is more reliable. But I have great confidence that new runs are more reliable; otherwise I would not have bought it. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Phd, as I said before, not everyone wants to get off. Has buying and selling cost me a good deal of money over time? Certainly, so did race cars and racing catamarans, but also I continue to be thrilled by more revealing components. I would love t... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Dave_b, I believe you like the MITs, but they are no more proven technologies than any other cables. If a buyer likes another cable, he or she need not "beware" if they are not MITs. | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Unsound, when measurements were added to reviews I applauded it. However, I have seen little correlation between them. Nor have I heard good measuring components to sound better nor good reviewing components to sound better. Related to this is dou... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Newbee, you are right that listening entails tinkering with speaker placement, compatible electronics, etc. and the tastes of the reviewer. While measurements are more stable, but also they ignore the subtleties of tweaking with placement, etc. Bu... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Newbee and Unsound, I certainly would take no exception to your centering on specs that you find closely associated to your tastes, but I will continue to trust my ears. I have never found any measures other than whether the unit is on or not that... | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Unsound, I have certainly heard the impact of some of these, but I don't know of much concern with any of these save what is audible. A tuner or an amp that fails to deal with such issues probably will not sell given how it performs or sounds. | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? Unsound, you are right, speaker frequency response and sensitivity matter. All the cases I was alluding to were electronic components. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? Salectric, I must say that I heard them when Fulton visited a local deal when I lived on Long Island. He played them with his "amp in a trunk." They were great, but the amp never became a product. I ended up with three pair of Luxman 3045 mono blo... | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? Salectric, Your speakers sound like the Fulton Premiers which I had in the late '70s. | |
| Need more plugs If your wiring is 10 gauge, one dedicated line will be fine. If you have 14 gauge, don't do it. Don't use any ac filtering on amps or at least powerful amps. I would recommend the Weizhi PS6 plugin box. It is expensive but is quite good. | |
| How much can be measured -- and how much cannot? And around and around we go. In all cases where JA didn't like much in measuring and Fremer liked the component I have always agreed with Fremer. A classic example was the WAVAC SH-833 monoblock amps. Fremer loved it as did I on risking hearing so... | |
| Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods? Jfz, I have only heard the Oppo 95 with and without the Exemplar mods. Everyone in the room immediately said the moded unit was best. Were I to buy a universal player, it would be the Exemplar moded Oppo 95. I use a Mac Mini music server. | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? I had a Dyna stereo 120 which had substitute transistors and never blew up. I used them on Rectolinear III speaker. I had the Phase Linear 700 with the Dayton Wright Electrostatics and the Watson Labs Model Tens. I also had the Ampzilla with Infin... | |
| Teo XLR Musicxyz, given your logic, I agree and would add that the six of you are irrelevant to me.Realism is what I hear with the Exemplar Silver Portals. It is quite thrilling to be at the recording venue. |
