| RIP oregonpapa I didn't know Frank, but I have read dozens and dozens of his posts and through his writing knew him to be a kind and a decent man. I'm really sad to learn of his passing. My condolences to his family and all of his friends in this group. | |
| "Power Cords-More Recent" The short answer is no. The longer answer is that by experimenting, if you want to, you might take things up a notch. After a certain level of build and materials, and amount of materials, more money does not equal better sound. It might yield som... | |
| Aren't you sorry you missed out on this one? It's already sold out! LOL I have an UltraDeck playing through a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista Vinyl phono pre, through McCormack Deluxe TLC-1 Pre, and McCormack DNA Deluxe Gold amp, all out to Genesis III floor standers and dual Servo-12 subs. The UltraDeck sounds 'fing great.... | |
| Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!! It is offensive to see products that have a very low cost to create (bet this one does!), and that make grandiose claims that lack any objective testing or evidence whatsoever, and that charge stupid-money prices for it. I'm not saying you should ... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? Like I said-- I've been there and done that with cables. The argument is not whether or not all wire sounds the same-- it does not-- it's about quality of build and materials-- the rest is just chocolate, strawberry or vanilla (and all the other f... | |
| Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire? Better quality cable will usually sound better than the cheap stuff-- BUT-- the claims made by many of the companies that sell the inexplicably expensive stuff are, IMO, after years and years of listening to different kinds of quality speaker cabl... | |
| Deja Vu all over again I have both an original 1970 Monarch pressing in NM condition and the new 50th anniversary pressing. Both sound excellent but the new reissue sounds best overall. This as heard on a high resolution pure analog system. Get the remaster and listen f... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? They sound like $500 speaker cables. And they sound like $15,000 speaker cables, and sometimes they sound like $20 worth of zip cord from Home Depot. Above a few hundred dollars for say a 3 meter pair (longer runs are going to cost more) and it's ... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? I have about 2050 cataloged in Discogs and perhaps a thousand or so more that are yet to be cataloged. I buy more every week. I have a an excellent system and prefer vinyl to digital (I also have about 3000 CD's give or take). I started collecting... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? Yes. I would have to be a fool to spend that much on a fuse. I would be an even bigger fool if, after spending more than $2800 on such a fuse, I convinced myself that just by changing that fuse my soundstage opened up, backgrounds became blacker, ... | |
| My system....what and how will cabling impact? When choosing cables-- for speakers, components, or power, beyond a point (based upon materials and workmanship) you will not get better sound by spending more and more money on cables. What you will get are differences-- like flavor notes on wine... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! perkri273-- I agree completely. Having spent a LOT of time with LP's, then CD's, and then digital streaming/downloads there is something about "process" that just feels right to me. I can tell that it is better for me. The sound is better for me ... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! John1 nails it. I've been buying music and building out my stereo system since I could ride a bike in the '70s. I migrated seamlessly from vinyl to CD's by the '90s and though I had a great turntable rig, I spent more and more money upgrading to h... | |
| VINYL SUCKS! Digital has improved a lot over the years. Early CD releases were usually pure awful, but that is not the case today. And Hi-Rez takes it up another notch. I have a high resolution digital and analog system, around 5000 CD's and maybe 3000 vinyl r... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? If you have the money, do some research (very hit & miss) and then try some new cables. Morrow Audio makes some very nice sounding cables, and many of their lines are competitively priced. The key with system changes like this is to replace al... |
