| CD transports Top-loading vs. tray-loading can have more of an impact on space issues than the size of the unit. | |
| Fascinated By GR Research Channel I don't know what specifically motivated these postings, but here is a three-part series by Alan Shaw on this very topic, posted November 8-9 of 2021. The essence of good engineering is cost management. That is to say it is bad design - hence ... | |
| Puritan PSM 156 All the sockets on the back are the same (i.e. none of them is designed/designated for particular types of equipment), so it's basically plug and play. There are two models of grounding unit, one for apartments and one for homes with access to th... | |
| Do good power cords have to be stiff? Just look at some of the Puritan videos on youtube. The epitome of flexibility, combined with great performance. | |
| Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers Having fallen from the sublime to the ridiculous, this thread is pure bathos. | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time Remember that in British slang, a prat is a stupid person who makes a fool of themselves. As in such phrases as: "What a prat!" "Don't be such a prat", etc. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Zlata Chochieva, Chopin Etudes: some splendid pianism here. The one slightly disconcerting thing is the recorded sound, which is very good but rather more forward in the soundstage than I am used to. | |
| Differences the Project RS2 Transport and the (newest) Jay's Audio CD2 Mk 3 So the Denafrips Avatar is NLA? | |
| Classical Music for Aficionados @jim204 I thought you preferred the Kissin version to Khatia. For me it's pretty much a dead heat, though Kissin is really excellent. Khatia's whole Schubert CD where the Schubert/Liszt appears as a kind of encore is really really good. (BTW, to... | |
| I need help describing the sound of a SET to a friend in English. Three words come to mind. "Presence" and "air" = not only the enhanced sense that the performer(s) are there right in front of you, but also a sense of the space around them. "Bloom" = getting the timbre and the harmonics especially right, makin... | |
