| 33 vs 45 speed quality Csmithbarc, despite all the somewhat off topic discussion, I would have to say that I have not done one comparison of 33.3 and 45 rpm recording where the 45 was not clearly superior. This has caused me to invest hundreds of dollars in duplicates w... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Aggielaw, I first heard the Adagios at RMAF driven by the Red Dragons. I went back repeatedly while making only one visit to the Zu room. I had not heard of the RSA Sasons but was going on with your evaluation until you talked about the MacIntosh ... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Zaikesman, what post does this respond to? I kind of agree with both of you. I sit in performance cringing to singers or violins being off key while most sit unmoved by this, including my wife. Having perfect pitch is a two edged sword. I imagine ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Leec,Interesting two hypotheses, namely that our hearing improves versus not lasting Nespa. I guess in another 4 to 5 weeks, were we to again hear an improvement it probably is the latter hypothesis, and we should ask Steve for a refund:You know t... | |
| Audiophile Electrocution Much of this is because people are stupid and lawyers are asked how to protect companies. The one I love is on rotary lawn mowers, or at least mine, there is notice to not pick up the mover with your finger underneath while it is running. Apparent... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Leec, I don't know that anyone else is interested in this, but I have redone three of my cd-rs now. These were Nespaed the first time over one month ago. First I listened to each and then Nespaed for 60 sec. There was a very great improvement in t... | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Metro04, snake oil is pejorative. You don't know that it is unworthy. You won't try it unless you understand it. Fine. | |
| Are ICEpower amps really that good? I am very interested in the Red Dragon amps given what I heard at RMAF and from a friend, as well as the rave reviews, but it seems no one here has heard them. Are there lurkers who have them? | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Metro04, I do know of several manufacturers who rightfully I think choose to not pursue patents as they are too easily bypasses by slight changes.I can understand skepticism but I don't understand not trying something so cheap. I grant that trying... | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Metro04, I know a fuse is a simple design, but I also know bypassing them greatly improves the sound. The issue is how to not bypass them and get great sound. I don't think that is easy to do. I would suspect that materials would be the crucial pr... | |
| Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ???? Metro04, I had a lengthy discussion with the IsoClean people at the last CES. Other than telling me that the conductor was not silver or gold, they would only say that many engineering concerns went into their design. When I mentioned my interest ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Leec, I suspect we are differing only on the magnitude of improvement from the IC. Last evening as an after thought I treated a sacd with the IC. It was an improvement, but I do frequently forget to use it.I now have two more sacds where the secon... | |
| Are ICEpower amps really that good? No one has mentioned the Red Dragon B&O ice amps. I repeatedly returned to hear them at the RMAF. At first I thought it was the speakers that were so good, but it was the amps. There must be substantial differences among the ICE amps as I have... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? I picked sacds that I had done when I originally got the Nespa, aboutt a month ago. I wish I knew why this thing works. It is a lot like the Intelligent Chip in that it works but the explanation is vague at best. I do think it is more effective th... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Leec, I have done none of my cdrs or cds, but each of the sacds I redid on the Nespa for 120 were made more defined and with deeper bass. Heaven knows why. |
