| Taking the bad with the good Interesting post, Sean. I never attend the shows or spend much time in the shops, so I will refrain from commenting on specific systems. Also, the 'sales job' you describe here speaks for itself, and so requires no elaboration from me.I would, how... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics NIte Power cord Power cord Nicely written review, Gme109. I can't help but notice a couple things, though.No offense intended, but you have no history at all on this forum, and your review sounds practically like advertising copy, so I must take your comments with a very la... | |
| What does Current mean in a power amp??? Rwd, if you're just needing the amp to drive the sub/bass woofers, than that could well be less critical a balancing act between a need for power and some other, possibly more refined sonic qualities. Although a nominal 4 ohm impedance, if truthfu... | |
| NOS Tubes make a Huge difference I don't know about 'bass-heavy', but wearing-out tubes will tend to roll off both the bass and the highs to some extent, while also letting go of the bass tautness and transient incisiveness - the whole presentation will become softer and slower. ... | |

| Why bi-wiring is bad I have never been able to bring myself to believe the commonly-heard explanation that biwiring somehow reduces or eliminates an alleged modulation of the mid/treble frequencies supposedly caused by the back-EMF of the woofer. In fact, the whole "b... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long I've always wanted to see a tensegrity application for some common practical purpose, but there is none I'm aware of. It's just so damn cool, I want tensegrity to be good for something beyond spheroid toys and Kenneth Snelson towers. I doubt a ten... | |

| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Actually, Nrchy, what Twl said was that he was 'a little different' (than what, I don't know); *You* said he was a little strange (but who am I to aurgue?). ;^)I find it very interesting [Sorry to interupt, but y'know, whenever I see that phrase, ... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Just to keep things perking along here, while we wait for Twl's beta testers to ring in, I remembered a thought recently which first occurred to me quite some time ago, concerning the Dyna 'arm design discussed above.I actually had this design ide... | |
| NOS Tubes make a Huge difference Dennis, I'd be interested to read your thoughts on the difference you hear with your new amp, once you get it and have had some time to compare. I think the VTL is quite a good sounding amp, but I've never heard the VAC. (Agree about the superiori... | |
| Pass X-250 or McCormack DNA-2 Deluxe I'm just wondering how you narrowed it down to these two, if you haven't heard either one? Thomas is correct about auditioning before buying if you can, and I don't hate to say it. :-) | |
| Review: Sony SC-D777es CD Player Which CD player sounds better on just regular CDs, the new Sony or your old Rega? | |
| Vinyl distortion - What's the problem? You caught me, Greg, thanx. Sorry, it's too late at night! My last paragraph still stands, however. |
