ss players vs tube players
Distortion, I deserve no credit for that great adjective, it was put forth two folks a lot brighter than me.I'm lucky enough to own a Granite 657 CD player, which features both tube and solid state output. And, as I put forth in the "Useless Adjec... 
why can't I make a digital recording of a DVD?
"didnt there used to be a thread that stated the Samsung HD841 was trying to get pulled from the market and threatned with litigation because it did not block a copy transfer?"Oh, that little $99 jewel of a universal player I picked up at Best Buy...

Nice one, Jafox! Your description of JD is most apropos.

Tremendous thread, Brainwater!Tom is a good friend of mine, and I can personally vouch for him being such a wonderful person and audiophile. I agree his devotion to audiophilia is both awe inspiring and motivating. My only complaint is trying to k... 
Should we upgrade high end fuses?
"A wise man changes his mind. A fool, never."Edkoz, you've certainly earned my respect.For the record, I'll be trying them soon as well in my Jadis DA60. Each tube is fuse protected. Thinking about it logically (sorry if this isn't the typical sub... 
DIY Interconnects review
JD, congratulations on putting forth such an exhausting body of work in search of the truths we all seek!!! In my estimation, this is among the finest two or three threads in the history of Audiogon. Boiling it all down has required me to take abo... 
Jadis Orchestra Reference bias adjustment?
Though I must thank Denis for his unbridled kindness, the document I put together when I sold him my JOR was flawed. It seemed there must have been some confusion in the translation of the biasing instructions into English, and that is what I used... 
anybody have/hear Wolcott with dynamic speakers?
I've also heard the Wolcotts with Wilson WATT3/Puppy2. Thought it was one of the best combinations I've been around that included the Wilsons.Have always longed to hear the Wolcotts with a pair of Merlins, Coincidents, JMlabs, Audio Physics, etc. 
Jadis Orchestra Reference bias adjustment?
Robert, I sent you a few photos, illustrating the respective resistor. Let me know if it's not obvious. You just do this for each tube... Once you get the hang of it, you can almost do it in your sleep. In fact, I had my daughter do it for the pic... 
Jadis Orchestra Reference bias adjustment?
First, I'd like to say that I cannot recommend my good friend Pierre Gabriel highly enough. We are most fortunate to have him as the North American distributor of Jadis. He is a fantastic person. Pierre, PLEASE correct me if anything I say here is... 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
I was in search of "vinyl like" sound from my CDs. It was driving me to try some desperate things only an audiophile would do. We call them tweaks, the rest of the world calls them stupid...I scattered my CDs all over the driveway, and began to wa...

Ah, if we keep this up, we will be the bane of the audiophile community. I mean, how will reviewers cope with no longer being able to use the terms tubelike and electrostatic-like to convey describing amps that sound slow, dark, and easy or speake...

Howard, that list brought back a memory that had long since been buried in the deepest recesses of my mind - Marilyn Lange, May of 1974. Though she probably isn't remembered by anyone else here, allow me to assure you she was one healthy young wom...

Howard, was that a Mrtennis review? Honestly, despite whatever he tries to say, a world without adjectives (or, adverbs for that matter) is one incompletely developed, and of little use to one beyond the most elementary understanding. One cannot p... 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
I'm glad you've once again joined the conversation, Sean!I spoke to Bill in regards to you at the time you were contacting him about your F's. He said you were a true gentleman, and quite enthusiastic and knowledgeable - which I concurred with who...
