| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Albert,"If you wish to argue on the basis of absolute quality, cost no object, then LP wins"Well said. There is a cross-over point where spending less buys better music with digital, and more, better music with analog, at least for me. I can't fin... | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? Another view? Yes, I could live without vinyl. The cost of high end vinyl and LPs of sufficient quality is too high. We can approach vinyl for less money. I am tired of the surface noise and lack of frequency response at both ends. If I bought a t... | |
| video cable for audio use Yes. Video cable is supposed to be 75 Ohm resistance to meet a standard. All the video cables I am aware of are of the same type: center copper lead with outer braided shielding. This type should work fine for audio and provide some shielding from... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor I too hear horror stories about fights over audio equipment. Sometimes its the money, which can be substantial, other times its the aesthetics. In my case my wife doesn't bother with my main room in the basement which has large speakers and lots o... | |
| Jolida integrated amp for Thiel 2.3's? I have a similar situation. I wanted music in the bedroom, but had furniture and decorating restrictions. I replaced my Dynaudio 70s with VR-4JRs in my main system, and put the Dynaudio 70s in the bedroom. I bought a Jolida 1501RC from Underwood W... | |

| Long distance from amp to speakers Several thoughts.....first, no one should give you advice about your marraige...that is inappropriate. If you had asked for help in deciding between your wife and your amps, that's a different story. I have tried several solutions for long runs an... | |

| Calibration DVD I was able to use both disks for calibration of my RP-HDTV and both improved the picture. For more money you can have a ISF technician calibrate it and it is much better. Both disks are confusing, but have what you need to adjust the user controls... | |
| Outlaw Separates vs. Arcam 350 Receiver I have heard both and they are different animals. In my view the Arcam is articulate, smooth, and best mated with very dynamic speakers, perhaps at levels less than very loud, unless the speakers are efficient. I think the Outlaw is best at puttin... | |
| Anybody play any musical instruments........... seven foot Baldwin grand (I like the bass tones) for Classical and some quiet Jazz pieces. | |
| VTI Racks Any good? The primary advantage of the VTI is the flexibility of stacking shelves in a variety of configurations. I like the principle of inverted metal cones in cups to diminish floor-borne vibrations. One problem is that it is light-weight. To solve this,... | |
| VTI Racks Any good? I like my VTI. I believe the points and weight help with isolation, especially for the money. In addition, I isolate each component. that makes more sense to me than expecting the rack to do it all and spending thousands on one. To each, his own! | |
| Best Budget Silver/Silver-Blend Interconnects? I recently bought a Homegrown pure silver IC. Very reasonable price. I like it so far. Very neutral, uncolored. | |
