| Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" I don't think KOB is overhyped if considered in the context of when it was released and what it meant to the evolution of jazz. Nor do I think it is overrated - it is a great and, and in places, a very complex compilation.Yes, there are other jazz... | |
| Are they ever going to remaster the Beatles? I heard a year or so ago that Paul had quietly bought back the rights to most of the Beatles songs from "the chiller" (as in the sensation which travels up my spine when I see this guy). Anyone out there who can confirm/deny this? | |
| Buried treasures you've forgotten? For a more retro Fleetwood Mac experience, try the LP "Bare Trees". | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 I got my outlets today and, of course, could not wait a moment to get one going. I installed one in a non-dedicated circuit, though I do have an electrician friend scheduled to remedy THAT situation after the holidays. I plan to use this one from ... | |
| Three days until Christmas Happy Holidays to all. Thanks to those who have contributed to my system in innumerable ways since I got back into higher-end audio earlier this year and bringing me up to date from the early-80's!!! | |
| Albertporter only needs 50 I am a few days away from introducing my Porter Ports. Would have interest in the experince of others with these, in addition to Maxgain (whose comments I have appreciated). Seems were quite a number of buyers but very much fewer reporting. | |
| Dust residue after carbon fiber brush cleaning Yes, and the method used by Twl are exactly those as contained in the instruction sheet for the Hunt. The "grounding" suggestion offered by the King of Cylinders is wise, and effective. As cumbersome as it can be, I usually do the brushing while h... | |
| Black Diamond Racing/VPI Vibration Control Make sure to experiment with the placement and "directionality" of BDR cones, if you use them. I tried a few different cones/points under my amp which was already sitting on a Osiris Giza stand on its own points and pucks filled with about 40 lbs ... | |
| Top This Albert - intend to have the entire package cryoed and left submerged until the music, and you, can be played once again? :-) | |
| How important is speaker positioning?My experience Trejla, very nice post and a spot-on accounting of my own experience. Amazing the difference of even an inch movement, huh? It is worth the time spent to get it right.We recently moved and my older son said, mournfully, that he bet it would take m... | |
| $1,500 to spend on a tubed full function pre With your Cosmos, I'd get the Kora Eclipse pre and call it a day - and a very good match! You'll have to spring for just a bit more than the $1500 you mention, though. The phono stage portion (SS), in my opinion, is at least equal to the EAR in so... | |
| Where can I get my power cables cry'oed? Albert, I assume that NASA won't take requests from just anyone to have just anything cryoed. Or am I wrong? Where, in your opinion, is the best place to turn failing the ability to use NASA's facilties.Does anyone have experience with any PC's, I... | |
| where to start analog I will let others recommend specific products since some here seem to have tried everything. Not that ohers will, but neither Albert nor Twl will lead you astray with respect to vinyl. I have my favorites, based on my satisfied, though relatively ... | |
| DIY acoustic room treatments You know, I made some of the Jon Risch tube traps (16-inchers) some time ago and they worked to great effect. When I moved, I decided that they were looking a little "gamey". I auditioned some retail traps, the names of which will go unspoken, but... | |
| Anybody have their original Stealth Cryoed? Alan, I am encouraged by your post as I, too, was contemplating having my Stealth cryoed to go along with the cryoed outlets I have acquired through the good graces of Albert Porter. Is there any advantage to having the Stealth cryoed from one pla... |
