| Record Cleaning Machines I have had all of these machines and presently use the Loricraft. It maybe that the Keith Monks cleaner was better than the Loricraft, but it took up too much room and took too long. I never compared it side by side with the Loricraft, but I suspe... | |
| Best Isolation HRS? SRA? Zoethecus? Symposium? Years ago I tried many shelves and stands. The Manas proved superior to all others. I did later find the Neuance shelves on the Mana stands were superior to the glass top shelf provided. Later I found the Acapella shelves to be better yet. Then ca... | |
| Wanna know how noisy your AC is ? Sean is right. You will hear great noise from the Sniffer, but if you buy the now discontinued AudioPrism plug-ins to depress it, you will be very unhappy with your sound. I did have the Sniffer and 12 plug-ins at one time. Gradually, I removed th... | |
| SPL METER? ATI OR RADIO SHACK Eldartford is right. I have had the RS meter and the Rives cd designed for use with it for years. A real time analyzer is the only real solution, but you need at least a 1/3 octave unit. Also be prepared to see how disastrous you response is. | |
| Best digital cable to audition? I find the Sextet the second best digital in my system. I continue to use the Cerious Technologies. I found both superior to the Valhalla and the Siltech. I should say that I do use Cerious throughout my system. I got a friend to send me the Valha... | |
| What would you say is the better sounding SET amp? Herman, while you are largely correct, at the first VSAC in Washington there was a demonstration of the sounds of different output tubes. The had a single channel rig that would allow swapping output tubes. The 45 tube won the greatest support for... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Exlibris, can you tell us more of your modified unit? Louis reported he has a customer who has added a linear supply and is exploring its benefits. Is the customer you? I have done nothing due to Christmas, CES coming up, and final exams. | |
| What would you say is the better sounding SET amp? I loved every 45 tube SET I have had and thought the one 205 tube SET I have ever heard to be the best amp I ever heard. The problem, of course, is power. I find 2A3 in the next down level, but again low power. I hated most 300B amps I had, includ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Are these burned with your revised RC unit and on what blanks. I ask because I have more of a sense of the hall and recording venue with the RC copies on their blanks. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Mejames, I am still awaiting additional Verbatim "Super Azo" CD-Rs, but on the two I have, they prove not as good as the RC blanks. This is contrary to what Todd found. See: http://www.AudioAsylum.com/audio/general/messages/412248.htmlI have also ... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Pabelson, I doubt if any reviewer could "pass" the DBT. This is because of the methodology. Any substitution of other than same/different methods would likely result in rejection of the results by DBT proponents as Gregadd says. Subjectivists woul... | |
| Dartzeel amp lives up to hype Thanks, Glide3, I very much appreciate your evaluation. Please keep us up to date. | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Qualia, yes there is some minor DBTesting in wine, but as in audio no one pays any attention to it. Like audio tastes rather than DBT rule in the buying decision. Please understand that I see nothing wrong with your making decision based on this m... | |
| New scam on the internet???? I heard a sobering statistic yesterday about phishing success. NBC reported that 70% give their personal information to these crooks. No wonder I get about three of these a day.Vhuang, I did the same for a while, but if most are giving real inform... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Citations please, Pabelson. I don't follow this literature any longer but your mere saying we know is not convincing. |
