| counterpoint NPS 400 with upgrade Mike Elliott is a superior designer, he has been responsible for some of the best and most important audio products around. As far as performance, I suspect that if you just got your amps back that you may have as much as six weeks ahead of you in... | |
| HELP --- Optical Cable Dilemna There is PVC pipe made for electrical (romex) installation, available at Home Depot and similar stores (I like the dark gray). There are "C" shaped clips that mount the pipe to the wall, so it looks like a regular electrical conduit (especially in... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube David, I don't know if I can help, the comments from Drumsgreg are correct in that you should seek advice from Rogue. They know about their product much better than I. As far as Kevin, his advice is excellent, and he is probably not keen on promis... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Mikhail, when you have a "live" source, its hard to compete with electronics. Kind of like my photography trying to compete with looking out ANY window (at reality). Good point, and hope other Audiogon posters will list music that we can consider ... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube David, the Sovtek 12AX7 LPS is the spiral version of the LP, some people have reported that after as little as 60 days that particular tube begins the tube rush (noise) you report. The good news is that either version is very cheap (LP or LPS, may... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Here is my list (emphasis on most varied of style), of some of the LP's that I enjoy for musical or emotional reasons. I won't attempt explaining which I think have sonic merit. Bill Evans "Final Village Vanguard Sessions" (Mosiac), Dead Can Dance... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube Gedrrym5 gives good advice about Kevin. My experience with Kevin and the (French Mil) Mazda's is excellent as well. If you want the quietest and least expensive new tube, another option is the 12AX7 LP Sovtec. This is the ONLY Sovtec tube I like. ... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Carl, I Could not agree with you more. And I am sincerely sorry if my postings back to you caused you any anguish, it became a game for both of us. The emotion that all of us audiophiles feel when we get the music better than the last time, makes ... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? If you will post me your e-mail address, I will write you with my e-mail address and phone number. I have Ultimate Ones and have tons of info on Soundlab in general. There is an audio group here and together we own six pair of Soundlabs. | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Calloway, I sincerely hope that you are right about SACD. I stated in one posting that the CES was not a proper place to listen as the results were often poor there. I will try SACD in my home (you are correct, that IS the proper place), as soon a... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Carl, you are definitely one poster who needs a category of "argument" rather that "discussion" as a button to push at this site. I think you are more interested in making wise cracks than stating your position. Or, perhaps wise cracks IS your pos... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... "Snook2", if you will please give me your e-mail address, I will e-mail you so we can trade phone numbers, that way we can speak in person. I would be glad to pay for the call. Maybe you live near enough that you could join us in one of our music ... | |

| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... And I said nothing about double blind testing. The reason for a group of people listening and testing together is so no one person controls the outcome of the test. The music is chosen based on what multiple people like, and subsequently this forc... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... The subject was on the question of SACD and how it compared to older formats. It is important to consider that currently there are not enough software titles available for any serious music lover in SACD format. Even if there were 1000 titles, rig... |
