| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Arcamadeus, with 53 years or more in this hobby, I too conclude that my BMC Arcadia speakers will be for life. Of course, that may not be for long. I'm still having fun. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, actually David, I think for about two hours you can hear the HF cables at pretty much what they will ultimately sound like, but they go downhill thereafter. Fortunately the Enhanced will be largely back in about one or two days. I noted n... | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications Moomoo, I know a guy who has compared the Oppo 95 and 105 each with no mods. He much preferred the 95. Of course, this doesn't mean much about moded units. | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications Brownsfan, I have had no delays between tracks with my 105, either playing discs or from my music server. I have, however, not been able to get my USB connection to play higher than 96/24. It just clicks and does nothing. | |
| Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications Keephowlin, I have another mod. Oppo 105 and initially used the provided pc to the stock portion. I thought that the moded unit sounded very little better than the stock unit. BUT when I put an Exemplar charged Portal pc on, it was night and day. ... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Yes, as has been said several times, there are many more distractions now. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Raytheprinter, was he serious? Even when I first got into audio in the late '50s $300 would not have bought a system or even kits to make one. | |
| Exemplar Modified Oppo 93? Theduker, I had the Exemplar/Denon 2900 as well as the 3910 and 5910. My favorite was the final version of the 3910. I don't recall ever thinking that any of these were too forward, but I don't like EMF cloth as it closes down the sound.I would st... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Chatnoir and Agisthos, This weekend Rick said he was going to make a USB cable. He did say that the would not be magnets in the actual USB plugs, however. He didn't say when it would be available. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Chatnoir, since the High Fidelity concept includes the idea that the magnetic conduction influences component inside and since they make a phono cable with a DIN connector, I would say get one of the digital cables and the appropriate BNC to femal... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Iblieve, I have limited experience with the original CT-1 standards and have only heard the CT-1 Ultimate Reference speaker wires. But roughly speaking I think each step up the High Fidelity line yields great improvements in the bass control and e... | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare It is fascinating that this old cartridge still stokes such interest. It was over thirty years ago that I tried out three Decca Londons in the back room of what I think was called Stereophile on Chicago's near Northside. One sounded much better.No... | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare Eee3, I still remember the difficulties with foam on the mercury and getting it off. But with my Decca London and on the Linn LP12, it worked great. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Chatnoir, while I can understand what people characterize as "thinness" initially with the CT-1 Standards, in reality it is just a short term breakin characteristic and is a vivid example of the clarity and transparency of the HF cables. And the C... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Charles1dad, I agree with the vocabulary problem. But so often I find that many listeners are happy enough that their music reproduction is not stressful, edgy, or distorted and can be listened to for lengthy amount of time as "musical." Having ac... |
