| Theoretical question about how CD's work You may think of it as a logic puzzle.In that case, logic tells me that you are trying to take advantage of highly suggestible people. | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work Geoff, I've noticed that you have frequently posted about the scattered light problem since you started selling a product to help eliminate this problem. There's nothing wrong with that if you discovered a problem and came up with a solution. It... | |
| Let's roll: what pre-amp tubes should I consider next? I think the Phillips/Amperex tubes that people are recommending are tubes made in the Amperex factory at Heerlen, Holland. Phillips sold these tubes with many different labels. Phillips owned many tube factories, Amperex, Siemens, Mullard, Valvo a... | |

| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? They're not what they used to be if you mean do they have a lot of problems. They have a 5 year warranty if purchased new, so the company stands behind them.They also sound very good. If you liked the sound of your older MLs, you'll like the new... | |

| What’s the best SACD you’ve ever heard? JD, Bass / Piano / Guitar. If you like jazz I’m pretty sure you’ll like it. It also comes in a two cd expanded version for $10 - $12 if you don’t want to pay SACD prices. | |
| Mono Recordings The appeal of mono rock recordings has two main points. The early Beatles and Dylan recordings, and others, often had voices in one channel and instruments in the other. Not ideal. Mono versions of those recordings sound better to most people.The ... | |
| Any experience with Tube rolling 6922 for Conrad Johnson preamp? c-j preamps used to be really hard on tubes. They had 29 dbs of gain which required that the tubes be driven hard. Driving the tubes hard makes them go noisy quickly. I see the ET 7 has 25 dbs of gain which is better but still probably not easy on... | |
| What’s the best SACD you’ve ever heard? Ray Brown / Monty Alexander / Russell MaloneA really nice mainstream (has melodies, doesn’t require perseverance to listen to it) album from three top notch jazz musicians. I’m not going to say it’s the best, but it’s a good one. | |
