| Looking for a decent CD Recorder If one is still going to burn a CD-R, the quality of the burner is nearly irrelevant. The Tascam unit or the one in your computer will both be just fine. I burn CD-Rs for commercial reproduction with a Plextor drive in my computer which I then tes... | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S Audiogon just trashed my lengthy reply, and I'm not redoing it. Sorry. In short, both units are completely silent both in operation and the effect on the system. VERY worth it. | |
| Power Conditioners: Audioquest Niagara 5000 or Shunyata Denali 6000S Allow me to third the recommendation of Equi=Tech *balanced* power conditioners. https://www.equitech.com/ They are the original, and still the best. Equi=Tech is mostly focused on the professional/studio market and does not promote itself or cate... | |
| What is the most memorable concert that you had attended so far? Over the decades, I've attended *thousands* of live performances, ranging from the New Lost City Ramblers, to the N. Y. Pro Musica, to Michala Petri, the Heifetz of the recorder, to Kathryn Tickell, OBE, the Heifetz of the Northumbrian smallpipes,... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? My PSI (née Revox) active studio monitors, which are Swiss-built and 20 years newer, top even my Thiel 2 2’s for coherence, transparency, and pinpoint imaging. And I’m VERY happy with my Thiels. Were I ever to replace the Thiels, PSI would be my f... | |
| How do you store and catalog your vinyl? I have about 3,000 LPs (and around 6,000 CDs). I don't have the LPs cataloged, never felt the need, altho Music Collector or Discogs are both workable, depending. The LPs are stored in modular fashion in U-Haul Small Moving Boxes, which at 12 5/8"... | |
| How do you move HEAVY speakers with sharp spikes without lifting? Some good suggestions. I'd been thinking maybe JATO bottles... | |
| most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box? If one is looking for what are *genuinely* the most technologically advanced speakers, ones without the flashy gewgaws and questionable designs often found in consumer speakers, I suggest one search among professional studio monitors. They are gen... | |

| You cable haters please DO this. I'm sorry, but you debased your entire "cable experiment" by changing out your Equi=Tech power supply. Going from unbalanced to balanced (Equi=Tech) AC will make ANY system sound notably better. In short, your entire experiment merely compared unb... | |

| Musical Fidelity MX-VYNL phono stage review More space saving than cost saving, I suspect, since the mini-XLR connector is a fraction of the size of two std. XLR ins, and the MX-VYNL is quite small. But you are right, that mini-XLR is a problem. When I last looked, 2-channel XLR to mini-XLR... | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? A note of caution. As mentioned, studio monitors tend to be holographic and attention commanding, and perhaps aren't the best for background listening. Moreover, a system like the PSI will tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the tr... | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? @parabolic Likewise. Exact Audio Copy isn't necessarily the fastest, or the easiest to use, but it's the best ripper there is. And it's free... | |
| Active studio monitors anyone? @cwlondon Not to mention obsessing over speaker wire/cable/whatever, interconnects unbalanced/balanced 10-9s OFHC, and of course the preamp. Myself, I don’t even use a preamp. Same as the fellow referenced by bob_reynolds, I have for years used a ... |
