Sound blead through on LP
In my experience in recording studios...even in the late 60's...there was very rarely any audible "bleed through" on those pro machines using 2 inch tapes and whatever else we had.. 
Bi-wire Silverline Prelude II: Is it worth it??
Preludes are VERY revealing speakers (I have 'em) and deserve good cables. I actually talked to Alan Yun (thought I needed a new driver...false alarm) and he said not to biwire 'em. According to him they're more coherant using single runs of GOOD ... 
Help - Adcom GFA-545 works in mono only
Baloney...if it doesn't work in stereo GET YER MONEY BACK! Ebay (and Paypal) are supposed to protect you...and I bet the seller would prefer a return over being blasted with a bad review. 
Question for the Hi-Fi experts ??
I just ordered a Bravo V2 and nobody seems to care...*sigh*...I think the key sound of headphones is directly affected by the head they're clamped to. Also, be warned, no self respecting audiofreak has tone controls...use them and be prepared to w... 
need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24...
Not a bad idea actually...buy ALL the phono preamps from Audio Advisor and audition them for 30 days. You could generate pages of reviews and become an instantly esteemed member of the opinionista. 640P update: This is a GREAT piece of gear that s... 
Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ??
Talent will out. 
Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ??
An insult to musicians everywhere. Remember the 10,000 hour rule. 
headphone amp question
Also...the BravoV2 is VERY inexpensive...about 60 bucks shipped from our Chinese brothers. 
need advice for budget preamp for Rega p3-24...
I just (meaning JUST) scored a new Cambridge 640P and even without much break-in it sounds VERY good...quiet and clear as a bell (Akito/AT440mla). I needed a rumble filter also and that feature narrowed my cheap phono-pre search to the 640P and a ... 
headphone amp question
I realized after the fact that my new Kavent preamp has no headphone output...oops...so I bought a Bravo V2 because it's looks so cool (hasn't arrived yet so I have no idea what it sounds like). It's so inexpensive I figured how could I miss?...bu... 
Vinyl lovers I must be crazy
I find that the only thing I can play my hundreds of LPs on is a turntable/LP player. If I try to cram an LP into a CD player it bends to crap and makes me look like a fool. Or set an LP next to my Squeezebox Touch...nothing. It doesn't work. SO..... 
The sound of glasswear
"A quick Google of it happening still seems the same."...what? I just googled and found nothing that mattered. If an idiot cranks an amp up all the way and the speaker cone jumps across the room I refuse to count that as gear related issues. I'm t... 
Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ??
Here's the test: In my listening room let me listen to something familiar on my system while $150,000 worth of other stuff has been warming up next door. After a while a crew of 15 serious union stagehands runs in, sweeps away my gear, and sets up... 
The sound of glasswear
I thought the era of amp related blown speakers was over...maybe 20 years ago. Even while running sound at concerts using thousand watt pro amps I haven't had those issues since maybe 1977...am I lucky? (rhetorical question...don't answer) I had a... 
WHAT CARTRIDGE FOR CLEARAUDIO EMOTION?
I just scored a new AT440MLA and it is amazing. It sounds very good also...
