| I opened both MIT and Transparent netwks anybody else seen "american psycho"? cables are kids' stuff. i use a chain saw on amps. so far, have interesting bits and pieces of burmesters, mlb's and halcro's. haven't learned anything, but it sure was fun. -kelly | |
| Any High-End Audio Show near to.....?? meta: answer to 2nd question: yes, tho you'll also see lotsa stuff not available in usa. i'll get the schedule for 2001-2002 and privately email it to you. -kelly | |
| Listening Room Upgrade i agree with abstract7. you might better spend your money by placing more cross-bracing underneath your new floors, replicating 10-12" o.c. if you do install wall-to-wall carpeting, i'd suggest you cover the area between your speakers (outside edg... | |
| Thiel cs3.6 keep blow up mid/tweter driv drtmth58 is quite correct in his admirable post. amp clipping is, indeed, the most common cause of speaker failure. it takes high ouput and high current to drive difficult loads to high spl's. my advice: change your amp before replacing another dr... | |
| Congested sound, new speakers? your problem may be caused by a myriad of variables, the most simple being the source material. have you ever heard the discs you describe playing through your system as "congested" sound righteous on another system? if so, what was it that was di... | |
| Any High-End Audio Show near to.....?? ces used to do a summer show in chicago. no more. stereophile did a chicago show in 1999, canceled a Rye, NY show in 2000 and has another planned for NYC next month (i predict a bust). never heard of an audio show in detroit. my guess is the close... | |
| What ever happened to Direct-to-Discs? there have also been a few direct to cd recordings done, the best i've heard being "dick hyman plays fats waller" on rr. BTW, there are a number of sheffield reissues of dtd lp's; don't be fooled, these do not stand up to the original pressings. -... | |
| Anyone heard of George Walsh are you certain it's not joe walsh for whom you're searching? acoustic sounds has a couple of recordings by walsh, joe. | |
| if i could trade places...... really great posts, all! everybody got +, + ratings. keep 'em comin'. -kelly | |
| SACD software prices are dropping. supply/demand phenomenon or a pitch to an untapped market? hope it's the latter. fear it's the former. -kelly | |
| Home theater advice? i'd recommend for racks that you look at zoethecus' new lower-priced line and billy baggs ht racks. saw them both at ces2001 and both products looked great. the billy baggs stuff is pricier but built very robustly. you do need to enjoy the "techno... | |
| SACD Multi Channel kevin halverson/muse electronics ran a discreet 6-channel dvd-based system at ces 2001. i have been told (tho i don't have the ee background to verify) that both sacd and dvd-a can be configured in a number of ways, allowing, 2- 4 or 6 channel dis... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Fans........ umm, garfish, may 15 is less than a month from now. if you wait a month and a half for your cd, then you must have taken the "pony express" shipping option. cheaper, for sure but the tradeoff? -kelly | |
| Bob Dylan, have an opinion? brulee: i've said some of this before, but since you asked............ our 1st son, born may 7, 1969, was named dylan. that was a fairly rare name at the time but, unfortunately, is no longer. i was struck by its commonality especially when i lear... | |
| Mark Levinson 39 lev: do you really want advice? ok, here's mine: don't buy the ml39. save a few hundred $$ more and wait for an accuphase 75v to show up on audiogon. you can run this one-box player direct, too. and, IMHO, it will, in fact, blow away your theta mi... |
