Where do you start your cable upgrade?
As you start making your changes, take your time. I won an auction a few weeks ago for three sets of Z Squared solid gold interconnects. I plugged them in where I had previously had some Radshak standards. I heard no differance. huh? Then, about a... 
Cable long question
I really doubt there is a differance between increments of .5 meters. One thing to keep in mind is what to do with a cable that might be a full meter longer than you need. The longer a cable might get a greater chance to brush against power suppli... 
Love Audio Love Cars
New frontiers are good. So can be trading in one set of toys for another. Some of us like to refer to our earlier lives---student days---backpacking days---a life in Europe. In my case I really don't do anything as much as I overdue everything. In... 
How to put records on CD's?
Don's process must get great results. I use the Roxio Software on my Macintosh computer and get really good results. I loaded the PC version of Roxio into an office computer and, while it is still good, the process is quite coumbersome. I you don'... 
McIntosh and Thiels
I recently reset my tone controls to neutral and found my MA2102 tube amp sounds much better. This was a bit hard to do as I have always been a believer in 'a bit more is a lot better' when it comes to tone controls. But now my speakers don't pop ... 
What's more important; sound or brand name?
Elizabeth, I think you have discovered the true meaning of life! 
OK, A'Gon/guys: I like to print the odd thread but
wow. Looks likes I gotta get more computer literite. Don'ts-ya just loves me grammer? Anyway, I am tapping away here on a Mac. Any suggestions for this computer? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
wow...461 posts...is this a record? Hell, makes me want to buy a vinyl for the first time in 20+ years just to....belong. 
Proper Cable Placement.
I really don't know diddly about interconnects touching and AC cords. I run my AC cords along one side and my interconnects around the other. I did have to run an interconnect beneath a huge speaker (electrostatic) where i read in another line tha... 
What's more important; sound or brand name?
wow. If you like what you got, stop! I sometimes joke with my wife about--what the hell was his name(?) Favio or was it Fabio---the long blond haired italien hunk of a guy form the early eighties. The guy some (many) women closed their eyes in cer... 
Best Budget Interconnect for MMF-5,XLPS & Jolida?
watch the actions. Especially the closed auctions. Take your time. you will see some interconnects going consistently for more money. don't ignore them. If you bid low, and lose, you might get an Email from the manufacturer in a couple of weeks, o... 
Is There Big Trouble Brewing?
Wow. I like it here. There is some great stuff. Maybe I will come back and read it again when i am more sober. Music is very iconoclastic. I really like my Rock, yet as I sit here I am listening to Classical Waltz Cd that I have not palyer in year... 
Is There Big Trouble Brewing?
C'mon, folks. Hell, my Grandmother thought that Big Band, which my Mother liked, was a come-down from Swing. She lamented the drop in music quality that was hidden by the 30-piece band. Cut the before-was-better crap.Truth is, there are more diver... 
DVD's with only audio capabilities...huh?
My current system can spot a poor CD recording. For instance 'The Best of Cream' Cd was a waste of money. The latest release of The Band's 'Last Waltz' sounds terrific. I found a DVD-A copy of the 'Last Waltz' and I can't see too much of a differa... 
Why the limit on warranty to subsequent purchasor?
You might be right, Daniel. I suppose it might be too much to ask a manufacturer to buy into his own hype. Still, I like the unit and I am glad I bought it......
