| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? You posted: You just won't behave yourself . Just because you are an electrical engineer who works in audio and nearly everyone else who posts here doesn't even understand electricity, doesn't give you the right to gomaking stupid anti-group state... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Shame on you too Stevemj, there you go, protecting the scientific evidence again. Obviously it is more important for you to be "scientific" about all this, than finding what works. As far as 702, I hope that this topic is being monitored, obviousl... | |
| Hanging Audio Rack? I have considered this, although it would be a huge commitment. Beyond traditional pier and beam construction, each piece of sensitive equipment would get it's own individual concrete pedestal, going deep into the earth, below the house. The rest ... | |
| Sony SCD-1 Elizabeth, he is THE audio advisor. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Redkiwi, the "insist and insist again" in your post is dead on. Their preference in this forum appears to be centered on convincing us that our equipment and our music systems should be held accountable to their standards of testing. I will hold t... | |
| Music trivia anyone? John, correct on the Mercedes, but the children on HOTH are Robert Plants. I agree with Undertaker4 on the Telecaster on Zeppelin 1. | |
| Suggestions for filling speakers stands? I have experimented with much of what is listed here as fill material. I agree with Sdcampbell about the lead and sand combo, I use it in the tubular housings of my Soundlab U-1's. Silica turned out to be best for my aluminum turntable and phono s... | |
| Music trivia anyone? This one is really obscure, who are the children seen posing on Led Zeppelins, "Houses of the Holy"?Another Beatles one, what (then) rare automobile was purchased by John and Yoko, shortly after their arrival in NYC? | |
| Before They Were Famous I did photography of Led Zeppelin on their very first US tour. During an interview at their hotel, John Paul was taking his record player apart ( KLH portable ) and holding it by the tonearm. Amazingly, he got it back together as Robert Plant brou... | |
| Koetsu cartridge rebuild I agree with Ken. Be aware too, that some re tip jobs consist of gluing a new cantilever/stylus assembly where the old one makes its exit out of the generator. This makes the business end new, but does not address the problems of suspension, and i... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Redkiwi, again you have saved me considerable aggrivation in my own reply to this. When did this site become one of ABX arguments rather tools needed to make music? Reminds me of a bumper sticker that circulated in my area for a good while, it rea... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... At our music gatherings Scotch is the drink of choice, for me in particular. My most consumed includes Aberlour 10 and 15 year old, Balvenie Double Wood, Macallen 18, and (now discontinued) Glenfiddich Cask strength 15 year old. I love 25 year old... | |
| Member Nominations: Best Entertainment "Nighthawks at the Diner," by Tom Waits. If you can get through this album without patting your foot and laughing out loud, then check your pulse. The cut "Better off Without a Wife," could cause problems, depending on your situation, 'Nighthawk P... | |
| Is shielding cables that important? Your question is much like asking whether automotive seat belts are important. If you need them, you had better have them. Many people live in areas where RF and EMI interference is not strong enough to require shielding. Provided other equipment ... | |
| The Best DeKay - Copper or Silver Wire? Important new data provided by Tireguy, has indicated the problem is starchy music, rather than sweet. I suggest a hit list that warns against ear Dekay. I will begin with the first that come to mind:"Cornbread" Lee Morgan"Potato Head Blues" Louis... |
