| Who is going to the CES show? Albert, my sister-in-law was over on x-mas. We were sitting around listening to music through my newly acquired table, arm cartridge set-up, wonderful. She works in a large Department store selling appliances. You know what she asks me? Why don't ... | |
| 15 amps or 20 amps outlet More is better than less, after all we're Americans (or most of us are). 10 gauge in most instances is overkill excepting for long runs from the breaker to the outlet. Overkill is always better, less resistance and heat. For a few dollars more why... | |
| Thoughts on PS Audio's SuperLink Gen II DAC Hi Gil 350.00 for a Superlink is IMO entirely too much to pay for what is essentially a digital dinosaur. It has been superceded by many inexpensive DAC's. The Ultralink model is better as noted above. I purchased a used Ultralink after listening ... | |
| Any good all wood component racks? Thanks Kelly. You hit the nail on the head. This is indeed what I'm looking for.Will | |
| Any good all wood component racks? This thread is of great interest to me as I am planning on building a 34" turntable stand in the very near future. Wood to be used is solid purpleheart for the structure & shelves with solid maple drawer face and ebony inlay, no mdf for the sh... | |
| Rap music on high-end speakers Amens Bryans Brother. I must say I think most of the light hearted jibes snouldn't be taken too seriously. Albert I got a big chuckle out of yours and can only say I wish I had come up with it myself. You have a very twisted sense of humor:^) Tru ... | |
| The most important piece in a stereo system??? Quality of recording and room are absolutely the most important. On the specific system components, the pre-amp per Gregm's and other comments above. | |
| Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why? Sean, so knowledgable and informative as always, thanks.I still have a pair of MC-60's that have been modified with upgraded parts and were good enough for my ears that I ran them for 10 years straight without nary a thought of any change. Ignoran... | |
| My system has just received the ultimate insult "I have 2 questions to ask, 1) is it possible that she could enjoy listening to 'Her' stereo as much as I enjoy listening to mine? 2) may I continue to be involved with her and still have the respect of my peers?"1) Absolutely2) God I hope for you... | |
| GEORGE HARRISON Oh My Sweet Lord. While I don't have a favorite Beatle I must say my favorite post Beatle album is indeed All Things Must Pass. Oh you, the quiet Beatle, have made my own mortality so real with your passing. Thanks for sharing. | |
| OTL amps on Dynamic Speakers Another one to consider especially if you're on a budget is the Transcendent OTL. Dead silent, quick as any solid state I've ever heard and as Jtinn notes, quicker than transformer coupled tube amps. This amp also has excellent bass definition alo... | |
| Ideas for something to hold LPs ?? For someone with a little bit of ambition with the end result a lot more self-satisfaction may I recommend that you:Buy some veneered 3/4" plywood of your choice with 1/4" plywood veneer for the back of the case. Prices for cabinet grade plywood w... | |
| Boy am I glad no one bought my albums Ramstl If you think these recordings sounded good spinning on the platter I think your next step is taking in some live concerts in your area. | |
| SS amp with Merlins plinius ? Rhyno, like the late FDR once said "There is nothing to fear but fear itself". I'll be the first to e-mail you when I have a problem with this amp but I don't expect I will anytime soon as it is very conservatively designed. It is a misconception ... | |
| SS amp with Merlins plinius ? Hey Lindisfarne is your moniker after the English group from the late 60's and 70's? Loved that group.I can't speak for the Naim/TSM combo but the VSM-M offers the best combination of smoothness, tonal balance and resolution I've ever heard from a... |
