| A question about cable break-in Bomarc, I don't think that you should be insulted. I am not for that. God knows I get it enough.But the psychological thing goes 2 ways. It can just as easily be said the ones who do not hear a difference are psychologically influencing their perc... | |
| A question about cable break-in I'll just say the same thing again. Listen for yourself, and if you hear a difference or not, you'll make your own decision.Pbb, of course I would reconsider my position on Analog/vinyl,SET/single-drivers. And if I found a digital/disc/SS/multi-dr... | |
| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? I think that double blind testing was invented to confuse people, and put them in a state of mind that is too over-stressed to "perform under pressure". This virtually ensures the confused outcome which is interpreted as a "scientific proof" that ... | |
| Shelter 901 vs. Dynavector XX-2 or TE Kaitora Try Audio Revelation. They are a dealer that advertises on Audiogon. They have ads for Origin Live stuff, in the Analog for sale category. They are also a Shelter dealer. | |
| The plight of SACD.... Okay Joe, point taken. Fair is fair. But you missed my point. I am not trying to be the "Saviour". It doesn't matter to me if people stay with digital, because most will. I can use what I want, and am not directly affected by these digital format ... | |
| Whats up with Merlin? I have recently spoken with David Berning, and he has ordered a set of Merlins for his system. I think that the ZH270 amp is a great match for them. I expect that he will be voicing his amps on those speakers. FYI. | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? Remember now, there are different kinds of horns. There are front horns and back horns. I agree that the front horns do tend to have colorations that can be distracting. But rear horns rely primarily on direct radiator sound, with the rear wave be... | |
| VdHull MC-10 Well, Shasta, it's your call. I said what I think. Not all will agree with me. Nothing wrong with a VDH cartridge. I just think that the price/performance ratio can be bettered by other cartridges. If you really like the sound of the VDH, then $50... | |
| A question about cable break-in There are alot of theories as to why cables break-in, but very little hard fact. The only thing that I know is that I can hear the difference, and many people can. Some consider this to be psychological. If this is true, I'd like to learn how to a... | |
| Speaker Polish? For cleaning, Murphy's Oil Soap is good, and for polishing the above mentioned Lemon Oil or Orange oil work well. Be careful with the Linseed Oil, because if you get the wrong kind, it will be tacky. Also, go easy with the oil, because most speake... | |
| Laser Turntables; Opinions Please I actually have no idea, nor do I know of anyone who does. I have read that the ELP is referred to as "infamous" but I don't really know what they mean when they say that. | |
| Tannoy? The late great Dr Gizmo aka Harvey Rosenberg, used a set of Tannoy Westminster Gold and loved them with his SET amps. | |
| Cary for a Cary ....B&W for a B&W??? Hi Squiddy! I think that if you have found some product lines that you like, there is no reason why you shouldn't stick with them. They are both well respected companies, that make great gear.But, if you are going to spend some cash, it makes good... | |
| A question about cable break-in Uh, I think that if you turn the volume off, you won't be breaking in the speaker cables. Funny how I listened to my system the whole time it was breaking-in, and I am still alive. Amazing, isn't it? I know listening to a multi-thousand dollar ste... |
