| Best Gene Pitney collection...sonically?..... It isn't very pretty what a CD without pity can do. | |
| "Reverse" Bi-Wire Question The only problem I can see is if your speaker cable of choice is designed to be "directional."Reversing it does not mean harm will come to speakers or amp, but it's possible it would sound better running the direction it was designed.Richard Vande... | |
| What time do you wear? Gosh, you guys are getting testy about the Rolex, Aero thing. Where do those of us stand that used to wear Rolex and respect their durability and resale value but got annoyed at all the knock offs and decided to move on.Move on to what? An ordinar... | |
| Paging Mr. Albert Porter Could it be the Euphonia line he's asking about? I never looked at other speakers in Dali's lineup except the Megaline when I was deciding on speakers. I was focused on it, Sound-Lab, Martin Coltrane, Dali Megaline, Maggie 20.1 and the Kharma Exqu... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? No JQ??? How can we have any fun?He's the only group member that's not uptight about all this audio stuff. How old is he now, five? :^). | |
| ESS speakers "Translinear" Transstatic Good data nexusstudio. I visit this thread every time someone posts new comments. I would love to hear one of these today and see how reality fares, when compared to my rosy memories. | |
| best way to break in Sound Labs U1? Oh, I should have added: Music with big dynamics and heavy bass after the first month of break in will speed up the time before they sound best, each time you start from cold (system off for several days).Lots of parts in the crossover and for som... | |
| best way to break in Sound Labs U1? I mostly agree with Duke, except about break in.Having owned multiple pairs of Sound-Lab over a 15 year period, optimum break in does not occur until after 800 hours (or about 7 months use).I'm not saying you won't enjoy them until then, but U-1's... | |
| Do the VTL MB450's require matched tubes?? Factory matched quads from one of the two main vendors (New Sensor / Antique Electronics) is all that's required.New Sensor represents Sovtek, Electro-Harmonix, Tung Sol (reissue) and JJ. Antique is distributor for SED Wing C and also sells JJ, EI... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Come on over Nick, lets put them together. The only requirement is you bring your kid to help. He was a blast when we were working on your turntable. | |
| Conrad Johnson ACT2 against Audio Research Ref 3 Jafox,Regarding:A 10m RCA-RCA IC from my line stage to the amps works just fine. The CAT amps only have single-ended inputs which initially bothered me, but once I heard music with them, it was a moot issue. And any report that such lengths need t... | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Albertporter...If you stacked up 14 of these little boxes, each one oriented horizontal, you would have a 7-1/2 foot line array. Sound familiar? It would cost $559.30, but probably less because RS gives volume discounts. A joke? Well sort of. But ... | |
| What Digital Stylus Force Gauge Do You Like? I've been looking at this one for awhile. I have the Winds but for the money this one would come in handy when traveling to help others with tonearm set up.$28.00 scales | |
| Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact? Thanks for the link, I need to find a place to use those. At $39.95 for a two way, it's absurdly cheap. I thought at first that had to be the price for a single, not a pair. | |
