| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? So, is it fair to say that, since we are rarely in a position to compare a recording of a live event with the live event (even having been there depends on memory and seating location) and studio recordings are typically manipulated, that the ulti... | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? Mark- it went to a delighted new owner who was local, came over to check it out and was kind enough to post positive feedback. I lost a few hundred bucks on the deal which was fine, i considered it a 'rental fee.' And the support from the company ... | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? Threads like this are important. A one-off bad experience may be just that, or a reflection of a continuing pattern of problems or poor service. I have no experience with Carey equipment and can't make any judgements about the company's products o... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? One thing i have been striving for recently (I go in waves of interest on hi-fi, right now i am 'back in') is to have 'normal' records, i.e., standard pressings of stuff, sound good, rather than just the tried and true audiophile tested records. I... | |
| What is a high end stereo SUPPOSED to sound like? The article from enjoy the music is a good read and thought provoking. I'm not sure I agree with a couple of points , though: first, the notion that what live music sounds like is irrelevant, and second, that the system should be 'accurate' to the... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Sidekick- I think i responded to your query on another forum and based on your stated preferences, would probably lean toward the tube unit. And, although it is not the same as trying it in your home, could you devote a couple days to a trip to, s... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes Trelja- according to the importer of the Allnic, the factory supplied tube was a Shuguang 5Z3PJ. I can't say i listened to it critically, because the unit was burning in at the time. I have a whole pile of vintage rectifier tubes including a coupl... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Postscript- I hadn't realized that the original thread starter had passed away recently, because I only caught this thread when folks were searching each other out in the last few posts. My condolences to all friends and family.Best,Bill Hart | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I don't get why the 'new' Audiogon prevents private messaging. I've heard it speculated that this will protect their fee structure, but it is easy enough to communicate offline via email. I have never screwed Audigon on a commission as a seller an... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? and he does show a lightspeed attenuator in his system.here's the link: http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vevol&1275577400 | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? maybe it is a different devil boy. the guy i'm thinking of does have a system up called 'the gift and the curse.'I corresponded with him on his system thread. I don't know his real name.good luck. hope that helps. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I think he has a system on here, why don't you post to his system thread and ask him to email you, or vice-versa? The lack of private messaging here is a PITA. | |
| I feel like a toothless hillbilly - PW DAC FWIW, (and it may be nothing), I had a similar problem when i recently bought an HP 'wireless' printer/scanner to work with my new Apple stuff. Although the advertising makes it seem like it's plug and play, the manual is sorely out of date and th... | |
| 5AR4/GZ34 Rectifier Tubes I have been rolling rectifier tubes in my Allnic H 3000 phono power supply- the standard chinese tube didn't sound bad, but the unit wasn't really broken in much; an old Tung-Sol sounded very good; I still have to try the RCA NOS and am currently ... | |
| Diana Krall Survey She is a class act. Her work seems to focus largely on 'standards' and she does these well. Check out the Live in Paris recording or DVD. I have seen her perform in a relatively small room (under 2000 people), and even with a hand injury, she can ... |
