| Whatever happened to HDCD? They are issued frequently. Joni Mitchell's two most recent are HDCD. Playing these the Lindemann is without peer. | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? It was a Dual. I don't remember the model number. It was terrible, but I quickly had a buyer. Then I got the Magnavox 2020, etc. | |
| Cable elevators Yes, I saw two models at CES. I was disappointed that they were not ceramic, however. That shape is precisely what I look for in a ceramic material. I want them as offsets where my interconnect touch the wall or rack. | |
| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? In had Dyna mono gear in undergraduate schools. I bought Radio Shack electro static speakers and a Thorens 124 and Fisher 440T in 1961 during my brief period of working in business. The Thorens at least was okay. I bought some old tube gear in gra... | |
| Cable elevators Wow, thanks for the post, Richingoth. I have been looking for something like the 1X1X2 insulators shown on this page. | |
| CES 2004 Best of Show Jls3, I too thought the TADs were impressive, but I did not think they played music. I very much sought them out for a listen and left thinking I no longer needed to find the money for them.I always loved the tweeter on the Acapellas. | |

| Decca cartridge experiences I had many Londons early in my audio career. As you say they are a love/hate relationship. I don't really recall what caused me to move away from them, probably MCs, but I do firmly remember that a knife edge bearing tone arm was unusable. I did h... | |
| CES 2004 Best of Show Mantra speakers and their associated equipment was clearly the best sound. The ESPs in Wavac with the really big 833s was awesome but too expensive. The TADs were great if you just want to be impressed and not listen to music. | |
| I auditioned SACD today Denon 2900 'universal' with tube analog stage by Exemplar. | |
| What is the SACD Mod business all about? I have two moded sacd machines. Neither is just a parts upgrading. One the Allen Wright Sony 9000 has a new board in it, and the other an Exemplar (Tucker) Denon 2900 has a tube analog stage in it. Both are greatly superior to stock units both for... | |
| Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers??? It is the ultimate test of whether sex sells. They were garbage. | |
| Anyone listened to a Wavac? The Wavac SH833s with three power supplies per side were incredibly good. They cost $350K!!! I decided to biamp with them. Just kidding! | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? I presently am listening to the H-Cat P12, a ss piece. While I also have a ss sacd player, the Wright/Sony 9000, I also have a tube analog stage sacd player, the Exemplar/Denon 2900. Until very recently I had only tube gear. While I cannot underst... | |
