| Cryogenics: accomplish what and work how? I don't know the exact procedure, but it involves the submerging of the item into something like liquid nitrogen to get the material as close to absolute zero as practical. This is supposed to re-align the molecules and crystalline structures in a... | |
| 3-way under 1000 new. 777, it seems to me that you pretty much have decided where you want to go, and are looking for others to help justify your decision. All I can say is , that I gave you my best opinion on the matter, and some figures to back it up. I agree with Un... | |
| Do You Understand Music? Mwilson, if you want to try a real cool record that is very creative and "out there" in the rock/jazz/blues fusion genre, then try David Sancious' album "Transfiguration: The Speed of Love". This is a killer album that has unique stylings and impr... | |
| Wow I listened to my old AR ES1 last night Take a look at the Teres turntables at www.teresaudio.comThey are great sounding tables in the price range you are looking for. | |
| Do You Understand Music? I have found that in music, as in some "art", there are some pieces that are works of genius, and some that are gibberish. In music, simply flailing away with abberrant musical scales is similar to flinging paint at a canvas and calling the result... | |
| Lowther Voigt Pipes are up and running The latest update is that I have removed the 24 ohm parallel resistor from the system. It seemed to be making the highs a little too hot. The bass didn't change any, so I think it wasn't needed with the Lowthers. The wings are great though. I love... | |
| Old Classic Receivers: A Mistake to Buy? I just bought an Armstrong receiver from the 80's on ebay. I paid $75 for it, but it cost another $150 to get it shipped here from England. For those who don't know about Armstrong receivers, I used to sell them in a high end shop during the 80's.... | |
| Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it? Zaikesman, I think it is great that you took the time and effort to do this test and report it to us. Even though I do not use an outboard DAC, I found your test to be very interesting. While some may argue your findings, I am happy to have at lea... | |
| Buying a used Oracle Delphi Mk_ ? I think you can get more table for less money by getting a Linn LP12 Valhalla/Ittok. During the '80s when I worked at an audio shop, several dozen Oracle owners over several years, brought their Oracles in to compare to the LP12. None ever topped ... | |
| Tube or SS for Sonus Faber Amati Homage In defense of Thorty40, he only stated that the ZH270 was the best he had heard to date. I didn't see anything in there about "best there ever was". The ZH270 is an excellent amp and value for dollar, and I'm sure it would do a great job with the ... | |
| RB300 tonearm cable upgrade? The RB300 is a very good arm. If you want to spend more, then have a look at the Origin Live website. They do wiring mods, structural mods, VTA adjusters, etc., to Rega arms, and even make their own arms, which is what I bought, the OL Silver 250.... | |
| 3-way under 1000 new. I think what people are trying to say is, that bi-wiring is not going to make up for the deficiencies of the speaker. It is a tall order to make a good 3-way speaker for $1K for the pair. If you take the simple method of looking at the dollars, a ... | |
| 300B Amps Berning Siegfried 300B ZOTL will handle a variety of loads. But, I agree with Ultrakaz that a 300B amp is not the best choice for Maggies. Better to go with the Wolcott amps. Maggies need alot of power, typical 300B amp has about 8 watts You will ... | |
| Review: Lowther Medallion II Speaker Patsaud, great description. You may know that I also am breaking-in a Lowther system. I love the sound. I'm glad to know another kindred spirit out there in audioland. I have about 40-50 hours on mine and they are really doing fine. I have heard t... | |
| Sony DVP 9000 Creeper, unfortunately, that is a problem with the 9000. Mine can't play CD-Rs either. Kind of a bummer. But, it does everything else so well that I can't really complain about it. But if you like to play alot of CD-Rs, you might consider another ... |
