| Receptacle Cover Plates & ISOCLEAN Alternatives? I must say that Joe Cohen once did a demonstration of a very substantial aircraft aluminum wall plate and similar surround over the wall plug of the pc that was shockingly better. I never bought it, however.I did buy the IsoClean wall outlet. I al... | |
| Cryo Treating Silver Cables? I used to cryo all sorts of things. No longer. Synergistic Research's Tesla coil zapping really works, but cyroing IMHO makes everything smooth and dull. | |
| New to Turntable - what're involved in playing LP? If you are willing to clean records, often clean styluses, carefully isolate your turntable, and get up often to change records, you still will get more thrilling real music reproduction. When I started in audio there was only radio, initially not... | |
| What component is responsible for dynamics ? So as is typical on such posts, the answer is everything and nothing. | |
| How long it take before your system/amps sound I think this varies too much to reach generalities. I generally leave all solid state stuff on 24/7. Given the cost of tubes and my uncertainty whether turning them on and off harms them more than being left on, I generally leave all but amps on 2... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Mem916, how long can the fluids stand in the Vinyl Cleaner? What is really nice is to have it in another room. You can put a record in and go listen. When you want you can go back and get a cleaned record.I have heard that they have made a great e... | |
| Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaning System Mem916, I hope you are right. I remember doing perhaps a hundred records on the Vinyl Cleaner and feeling little overworked. Yesterday I devoted three hours with my total commitment cleaning 30 records. And I have the short-lived Delrin tube on my... | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne I would agree that these speakers sounded great at THE Show. I also think that they were not as good at the RMAF. Was it entirely the room? | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Manitunc, have you listened to all of them? Do you have a favorite? I have in the past owned most of these plus some others, such as the Loricraft/Garrard 401, but only have a Bergman Sindre now. | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? I might add that while living on Long Island, we had a local audiophile groups with speakers and regular meetings. Since these were largely "mine is bigger than yours" meetings, I only went for the speakers. | |
| Any opinions on new type of amps from BMC, Hegel, Antwnhsc, you are not strange, the Devialet is. All that I can say is that it looked cool and had good bass. It had no sound stage and sounded artificial. I could not stand it for more than five or ten minutes.Have you heard the H 30 amp? I heard ... | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? I would say that I have met hundreds, especially when I lived in NY and earlier when the were probably 1 in a 100 men who were engaged. As dealers decline and free long distance and the internet increases, I have talked with many more than I have ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Hifisoundguy, and there will never be any agreement as whether you are right about this. I think not. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Hifisoundguy, I first heard the Bose 901s in late 1968, I think right after they were introduced. My dealer said that I would want to trade my Advents in. I listened briefly and he asked if I wanted to trade. I said absolutely not. I said they bou... | |
| Tidal Speakers owners Focalfan, "However, as audiophiles well know, perception and sonic reality are often unrelated, and the Sunrays definitely excel at the latter. I doubt that a potential buyer lost in the music that pours forth will hesitate because of what's benea... |
