| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need "You buy the CD, don't make a copy because you don't like it, and resell it. The artist still gets royalties on all 1,000, because you aren't one of the 1,000 who would pay for the album. No harm"Huh? The first clause of your first sentence stipul... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Gixerman: Trust me, I'm being as "real" as real can be, and not just for my benefit. But don't get bent out of shape, read my post on your other thread. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Expounding a bit: Viridian, your last question I think may really concern phase. You might be thinking of "flanging" as an analogy, or the way loudspeakers behave regarding crossovers and multiple drivers or reflective room surfaces. If so, that w... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? MJ and V: Obviously we can't achieve a correct 1:1 correspondence, or probably even seek one realistically speaking. (Although if that were the goal, then you could make the argument that going with a Technics SP which used the same motor/controll... | |
| MSB Link Dac 3- have modded or go Benchmark ?or? Gixerman, I just posted to your other thread before I saw this one (read it and you'll see why ;^)Anyway, I once tried an MSB Gold Link w/P1000, with my Monarchy DIP and fed from a Theta Pearl. The Gold Link is of course MSB's own "modded" Link II... | |
| Best DAC $1000 and under used Just observing the passing circus here, but find it interesting that no one has asked/specified what the transport is. (Or what DAC/player is currently used that Gixerman desires to upgrade. Or what the speakers are for that matter.) My own DAC wi... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? No. Think about it again :-) | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Pawlowski: Not sure I understand why, if demand for new CD's was to increase, the price would go down? Nevermind.Edesilva: Can't see what liking the music or not has to do with anything. That it's somehow less moral if you like the music, but not ... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Raul: I think your focus on speed-accuracy may be overstated. IMO speed-stability is the more important factor, beyond a certain point of competence concerning accuracy. Accuracy isn't that hard to achieve, stability is.Caterham1700: Those figures... | |
| Review: Bose 201 Series V Hmm...maybe I shouldn't have been quite so enthusiastic to see you review the SL-1200 ;^)Tell me Ekobesky, why do you take it upon yourself to write such professional reviews for no pay -- not to mention buying the review component for only that p... | |
| Your listening chair I'm thinking I ought to get an Ab-Lounge as my listening chair. | |
| Biasing amplifiers Bias also drifts with variations on the AC powerline. It sounds like you've got SET's, in which case there's no pair-matching of output tubes to worry about either. Relax and forget about this unless one of the tubes stops being able to bias close... | |
| What to do with 1,200 CDs I don't need Not sure I grasp the legal/moral view some are offering here. It's not illegal to sell or buy used CDs (or LPs, etc.). It's not illegal to make copies for your own personal use. People have always bought music, new or used, made recordings and res... | |
| what is a high end component ? Hmm, seems vindication is mine (as if there was ever any doubt). Thanks, Mrtennis -- carry on sir! | |
| New Beatles Box Sets Jaybo: Your audiophile (or chef?) slip is showing -- there's no "block" in the butcher cover ;^) A friend of mine who's a hardcore Beatles collector owns I think three of them. |
