| Vinyl sales oblgny...agreed that vinyl prices more often than not exceed cds; and of course, downloads, but many new releases...not referring to audiophile...are priced at $14.00-18.00. Still a higher cost, and yet fully worth it for me. I hope the medium d... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I believe it is difficult to assess the direction of high-end audio from sales on Audiogon and other used on-line markets, but attendance at Axpona was reported well up from previous years, as was the show in Munich. Reports of increased attendanc... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz HI Pete,I have a full loom of HFC cabling. It has taken me awhile to get to this upper level, and lots of cash...mostly purchased used...but it is as follows:. 3 Helix power cords; 2 UR and 1 Ultimate interconnect; and a set of UR Helix speaker ca... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Interesting question, Pete. I just returned from a 7 day trip, in which I had unplugged all power cords. I have been running the system for approximately 3 hours and it is finally beginning to sound its old self. I was bit concerned, as the soun... | |

| Synergistic Red Fuse ... It really is nearly absurd how a fuse change can have such a dramatic effect. It's like having a water hose reduced to a pin-hole opening, allowing the smallest of water stream. Replacing with the SR Black is like enlarging the hole enabling gr... | |
| To Power Condition or Not to Power Condition? I have not had a variety of conditioners in my system, but after discovering a consistent inconsistency in the voltage servicing my home I opted for the PurePower. Due to a few 'gon posts railing the company for defective and poorly warranted equ... | |
| Vinyl sales tomcy6...It appears the vinyl revolution may be peaking. Some of the local record stores are bulging with new releases, and a healthier used vinyl section, but I notice some of the titles sitting for months. The owner claims sales are robust wit... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... After about 2 1/2 weeks with the SR Black I added Stillpoints 5's under my speakers, replacing Ultra SS's. I was unhappy with the change in balance, imaging, and loss of involvement. I made slight adjustments to speaker placement, but just couldn... | |
| Moto_Man's Scam Of The Week Moto_man....either you have or you haven't you experienced the products you vilify. Which is it? I have no objection to one's criticism of a product one has direct use of. Otherwise, you might be better off in politics. | |
| Modern Jazz (as in recent) Music Suggestions jbrrp1,I second your Ambrose recommendation. I have seen him perform a number of times. Incredible use of the trumpet. I find him extremely inventive...a bit heady at times, but well worth multiple listenings. | |

| Why does most new music suck? The amount of new music is unfathomable. To subject this to a generalization of "sucking" is not only unjust, but incomprehensible. Not sure what the audiophile audience is looking for, but quality is out there...in all genres. Certainly, it is ev... |
