| The Debate's Not Over Yea Marco, just dont fall bottom first onto The Perch when you land...........Unless you have the Valium and Vodka first, then maybe it would be OK. | |
| IC's between Power Amp and Pre Amp Jena, Purist and Cardas are all for sale here at Audiogon in that price range. In fact, you could buy one or two brands at that price, try them and resell at (probably) no loss except for the ad fee of $5.00. | |
| Dedicated Lines and Wall Boxes I have both methods of wiring in my rig and honestly, testing between them I find no difference in performance.I do like the rather inexpensive plastic receptacle boxes from Home Depot. Non magnetic, unbreakable and non conductive. | |
| The Debate's Not Over All I know is this thread is worth it's weight in gold for this line alone.....Blondie vs. Bjork - I just made this one up. Bjork would karate chop Ms. Harry and sample her brains.I love Blondie but adore Bjork, funny quote. | |
| SEEKING A QUALITY CDR If your attracted to the best quality gold discs, Mitsui CDR are the best I've used, although I admit in my case it's to archive images.The Dutch government did a test two years ago and published some surprising results. Some silver CDR's develope... | |
| Proac D25 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig If I had to take a wild stab based on your previous speaker preferences, I would say the Vandy 3A Sig. The Dunlavy is pretty dynamic for it's size, much more so than the Proac and although the Proac is coherent, the Vandy is probably a bit more so... | |
| Best speakers of the group? Your opinions please I've heard all those speakers and several are absolutely world class. Regardless of comments (including my own), speakers are a very personal choice that basically comes down to choosing the one with errors that disturb YOU the least. While I agre... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD What your asking is difficult to answer. I am absolutely an analog guy but will try to comment without too much bias on the subject.A dear friend of mine who worked for JVC for several years was heavily involved with the Xrcd stuff. He worked with... | |
| Vandy 2WQ bottoms out with movies There is sub sonic material on some movie sound tracks that make it difficult for any sub woofer. At one time I had two 14" Fosgate THX subs (JBL LE drivers) with a high end 1000 watt mono block transistor amp on each. Even with all that power and... | |
| Info, please, on power cord burn-in Opus88, I did not require the brand name. I just wanted to suggest the same as offered by others here in the form of an adaptor once we knew what type cord you were trying to connect. Mine was the first response and with no idea what your experien... | |
| Anyone going to CES/THE? I'm going, reservations at a downtown hotel, away from the madness. I arrive the day before the show to help with rooms of a few friends in the business before the crowds hit. | |
| Info, please, on power cord burn-in I don't think you actually mean "short" the power cord as that term implies connecting positive to ground.If your asking how to connect several power cords together on one piece of equipment to facilitate break in, you would need some sort of adap... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Qdrone, please don't take this wrong, I had the Tice clock and the Radio Shack version (same basic clock that was used by Tice).There was some tiny benefit (FROM BOTH, and varied by system), but not due in my opinion to what George Tice did to his... | |
| tube watts vs solid state watts When comparing solid state or tube amps, be aware that the rated output is based on impedance. Speakers vary greatly in both impedance and efficiency, making this a difficult decision to make if looking at specifications without every fact reveale... | |
| What's the deal with the Machina Dynamica Clock? Here is the Google translation after running it through an English based spell check program. Still. Its a bit difficult to read due to the sentence structure differences between Italian and English. Read and decide for yourself, perhaps even use... |
