| what concerts do you wish you attended? I was at The Wall in Nassau Coluseum also. I remember thinking the $15 tickets was a rediculous price at the time. But I saw some friends trying to buy tickets at the show and were willing to pay up to $50 - a horrible upcharge I thought.Funny how... | |
| How many of us look under the hood?? Of course I look under the hood, I touch and caress under the hood, I play under the hood. I also do the same to my audio components :-)But seriously, I've modified my own gear for many years now with spectacular results. Since I don't have to dea... | |
| Lavry DA10 and CD transport You forgot one. 8. The difference between average digital and exceptional digital is surprisingly small and subtle.Digital has come a long way and the trickle down benefits can be found even in inexpensive players and DAC's. Expensive changes will... | |
| MBL 101E and the new released MKII differences I wonder if any of the older models will make it to the used marketplace for somewhere near where I can afford them. | |
| DIY clock upgrade? A clock makes the biggest difference in the transport. However, with the surface mount components on the Sony boards, putting one in yourself is not a trivial task.Be warned.Bob | |
| Porcupine Tree release that equals Lightbulb Sun? I just picked up an album by a Polish group that sounds very similar to PT. Any fans should probably check them out:"Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement".Then there's also PT's backup band at last year's concerts: "3".Enjoy,Bob | |
| Cable Management Cable management, i.e. making them neat and tidy one next to the other, is actually not conducive to good sound. Basically you don't want any cable running parallel to any other. You expecially want to separate power cables from anything carrying ... | |
| Digital Output, Optical or Conventional Coaxial? I was using Optical on my DAC, because it did sound better than the coax in on the DAC. This should not be the case - in fact it should be the other way round.I then picked up a pulse transformer made for digital lines and put it on the RCA input ... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" Jere's another thought that may help you understand this concept I'm proposing. For the most part we see the same people posting on these forums. We see the same faces at our local audio get-togethers. That's great, and I love to share this hobby ... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" When you go here ...http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.plAnd click on "Recent Discourse" for any of the time periods you are taken to a listing of recent and older threads. They now show previews of what is being discussed, including recent post... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" No, they don't. There are tons of people on this site in the NY metropolitan area that do not belong or attend any of the many club meetings that I attend. Perhaps they don't like the club thing. Perhaps they are turned off by the other members. P... | |
| System Pictures & a kind of "dating service" I agree, it's just that from the pictures and postings one doesn't always know that someone is in their area or if other ears are welcome to come over. This would be a way for those that are proud of their systems to invite other members over for ... | |
| Ozric Tentacles Anyone? One or two of their albums is more than enough. No vocals, and few hooks outside of the strange synth sounds themselves. Just seems like a baseline to jam on at most points. Yeah, it is interesting sometimes, but I really have to be in the mood fo... | |
| AudioQuest PT6 mounting pattern When I was looking for a replacement for my old PT6 I really couldn't find much that would have been a significant improvement. I finally opted for a Moerch DP6, with a little adjuetment (quite small actually).Enjoy,Bob | |
| Help with finding ultra-transparent pre-amp There are preamps that are detailed and apparently transparent and dynamic, and then there are preamps that can convey the texture of the instrument's sound as well as the inner details and dynamics. I would hope that the latter is what you are lo... |
