| Thank You Audiogon. Yes, very good job. Will really give you a good platform if you ever want to try other things too - nice stable, balanced system. Very happy for you. You might want to venture into some NOS tubes for your preamp if you haven't already. Pretty big ... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Thank you, Ohn. I hear what you say - best to have fun, and I will try to remember that more in the future. Again, thank you for reminding me. My system is obviously tube-based, and on that basis, may be open to criticism, if not my views. I shoul... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck The Cable Company. My system is posted right here, right above your post; you rushed in to respond so fast, jumping in together with Ohn (jeez how did I know you'd jump on that...?), that you typed your seconded request while I was typing mine, ev... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Yes, I understand that when someone makes people abide by the rules they impose on others, namely "scientific" rules of objectivity, or make them see the faulty assumptions they operate under, in an effort simply to level the field so such people ... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Happy, outlier, that hum solved. Its a real pain if not found and didn't want you to get deterred from analog. Hope you like it. Try listening to analog for about an hour then switching back to CD. Somehow, the mind gets it easier that way. | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck "Condescending" "bullying"? Muralman, can you ever chime in without taking a gratuitious swipe at me, evidently now on behalf of unidentified others. If you want to mix it up a bit, that's fine, but let's do it without the audience and where we ca... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Psych, a guy I know got a great deal on a pair of Swans as they were going out of business, just the parts, then put them together. I know they sound very good with triodes (heard them at length at several CES's)and I've had some Dan W. mod'd stuf... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Outlier, shpouldn't be burn in or PC's on amps, etc. - that's too noticeable for that. Etthan contacted me and said he was having hum problems too, so you may want to talk with him about what he's doing. Its usually grounding issues or phono cord ... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Psychanimal: you crack me up! You chide me, asking that the dialogue end and then, jump right in yourself! Now that's funny! "Mental masturbation"? Well, its a relative thing, I would submit for your ever-continuing consideration. ernie: thank you... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Ok, Ok, the subphase pathologies of the scientific ones have taken about all they can muster, so unless someone else wants to prolong Psych's crushing angst as I'm leaving, its time to let the accuracy-attached take their rulers and go home...Hope... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck If you don't like it, turn the channel - you know, to Nickolodean or something comparable. Besides, psych, and speaking for myself, I won't "lock" it unless we get some of your deservedly famous humor with the request. You know, that might have do... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Damn it Gumby, or is it gumbydamnit, I think you may be right! How about a Teres TT, Shelter 501 cart and Origin Live arm mod'd out ($3K abouts) (uh, twl?), with a used NBS Pro series 1 IC ($500) and $3.5K of vinyl?!I hear ya. | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Thank you Judit for your response. I too believe that cables make a difference with SS, and that some SS systems can be very satisfying. I thought twice about throwing that out, so let me rephrase and try to bring it back to the point I was mostly... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Oh, I just can't help baiting Subararu sometimes. He can take it and dish it out, though; so, clueless, you don't need to ride to his aid, watching attentively from the bushes. Clueless, clueless, how-oh-how do you maintain your delusion of radica... | |
| Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck Subar: what you say, as I noted above, seems to hold more true with less sophisticated systems. As systems become more sophisticated (read: able to replicate not just sound sources with detail, but supplement that detail with deep harmonics in the... |
