| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? Low- on the linear power supply, take a look at the product in the link below. I bought one in part because it was cheap, it has a large toroidal transformer, multiple channels for setting voltage and current limit (with read-outs) as well as a ch... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? At best, you could say that the thread:-helped us recognize that many cables are perceived to be overpriced-acknowledged (I think) that there are sonic differences among cables, but-the high priced spread isn't necessarily always "the best" for so... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? George has passed, but there is probably a good mastering suite in heaven. | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Interesting. Just for additional background, I bought a 12 inch sealed unit from Brian at Rythmik recently, opted for the paper, rather than metal cone, and for cosmetics, had it finished in that piano ebony gloss (which may not look right with yo... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? "An ordinary man has no means of deliverance."Au contraire, mon frère. You already mentioned the "used" route. Remember when "upgrade" didn't mean "flavor of the month" but the gradual building of a system over time? For some of us of an age, I st... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? CZ- you lost me on that one, but next time the dinner check comes, I'll let you calculate what I owe. :) | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Don't take the "percentages" as literal, folks. I don't, and perhaps I didn't make that clear enough in my earlier post. | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? Geoff- you'll get no argument from me. In fact, the endless quest is just that. bill hart | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? The money issue is a little bit of a red herring. I’ve been to people’s homes with expensive gear in place, but very poor set-up, and no thought to maximizing what the person has--I’m not talking about expensive tweaks, but basic stuff, like layou... | |
| Need Help: What In My Home Electric System Killed the Sound? I thought the issue with smart meters was that they emit all kinds of crap--some consider it to be a health risk, right? And if affects your health, what will it do to your system? :) I’ll put my tin foil hat on if I’m wrong and head back to the b... | |
| Need Help: What In My Home Electric System Killed the Sound? This is from left field, but now that the broken light socket was fixed, did you have that light on when you listened to your system? Try shutting it off. I have dedicated lines and can still hear some nasties from various fixtures elsewhere in th... | |
| Best type of Sub to consider? Kenny: I'll share my thoughts, though I don't know your main speaker (which, I gather is a modified Lowther-type driver augmented with woofers and depends on corner reinforcement):1. If I had to choose between a coherent speaker that was optimized... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? Phil- great post. Thank you for that, and for the memories they evoke. You knew Marc F, no doubt? I spoke to Tasso a couple years ago- he wasn't well. A great contributor to one of the great eras of the industry. bill hart | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? asp- indeed. | |
| Etiquette for a listening session? I don't expect every one in the world "outside" of our thing to get it, but a surprising number do--they could care less about the gear, but love to hear music presented in a way that is lively and visceral. For those who aren't interested, I don'... |
