Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Mfgrep: If that's occuring. You're definately experiencing substandard performance. Do I dare ask from whom you've purchased that equipment? 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Well, it's obvious that this is like just about every other subjective opinion re audio and I don't dispute anyone's belief in what they think they hear. For myself, I have learned after decades of critical listening, numberless discussions such a... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
So we can agree that, as implied by your rejoinder, hardware and its respective interactive relationships, can make a difference. Factor in the variables which are unique to most, if not all of us, and it follows that in some instances, copies cou... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
So I suppose Mfgrep that there is no such thing as an indistinguishable CDR copy..EVER? One thing though. I don't spout prior to listening...a lot. Also, tell me in what ways YOUR copies are different from their originals. And I don't really think... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
As earlier implied by Kocho, a copy is a copy is a copy. If errors have occurred in the process, then the "copy", strictly speaking, is truly not a copy. When dealing with digits, we can speak in such precise terms. Never-the-less, there will be t... 
Most reliable equipment manufacturers
Audionut: Allow me to relate an event which happened a few years ago which may have been discussed here at that time. A very well known Florida high-end dealer accepted a challenge to his claimed ability to readily distinguish diparate amplificati... 
Most reliable equipment manufacturers
Interestingly, Audionut addresses reliability by claiming ownership of several Krell models over ten years. I'm wondering what has prompted him/her to change so often? Reliability or old technology? The thread question emphasized reliability (whic... 
Classe integrated or Musical Fidelity?
Both are well thought of with (I think) the MF being a newer design (which may be meaningless). If there are any significant differences which would be apparent to you, it should be you who makes that decision, since essentially everyone has a set... 
Outdoor FM Antennas Used Indoors (Urban)
The Signal Sleuth has been very well commented upon by some of the most objective of sources (how else to evaluate an antenna/aid?). The scope in the 10B should assist you greatly in orienting your antenna for minimal multipath. With a sufficientl... 
Most reliable equipment manufacturers
It's easy enough to declare a maker which is no less than first. The evidence is very strong for McIntosh. We should, of course, be speaking only of electronics...since most well made speakers could easily outlive their owners. And often have. 
"The Audio Critic" B.S. or what?
Jostler: Thank you for your feedback. You will note that I stated "TAC...to call it as they test and hear it". I do believe that, while having significantly more reliability than sighted evaluation, double blind "testing" absent accurate measureme... 
"The Audio Critic" B.S. or what?
Well now, we have a good subject for diversity of opinion which is at the heart of the subjective/objective debate. I have alot of audio software and hardware,some of it, comparatively expensive. I have been enjoying this hobby since the early '60... 
Internal Amp Wire: Can it be improved?
If you alter the electrical properties of the internal wiring, you might seriously impact the design relationships within. Unless you're an electrical engineer, or have Krell's approval, you shouldn't interfere with an already successful design. 
bi-amp/bi-wire
While bi-wiring is a validly challengeable concept, bi-amping can be quite effective in some applications. However, if your amplifier is sufficiently powerful, the benefits of bi-amping may be far less noticeable. But when combined with active cro... 
Granite instead of an amp stand?
Why not? In my experience, even concrete slabs are effective. This concept also works well as a stable platform for speakers.
