| Analog Help Please Does it mistrack through your cans? If so, then it's a tonearm/cartridge problem. Since you say you've realigned the cartridge, then I'm thinking it's the antiskate, either not set at the right level, or binding. Is the mistracking always in one c... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Wow, nice to see all the diversity of ages and professions. I'll be 60 in two weeks and make my living as a risk analyst for mortgage banks.Dave | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. "Dcstep, a audio club recently did and discovered they could not hear any difference between items under test. Interesting comment by them-but what does it say?"Well Psacanli, maybe there was no difference; however, some will say the test was flaw... | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CA200 Amplifier I thought I'd offer a couple of addendums after another week of listening and putting my Woo Audio WA6 headphone amp and AKG K701 headphones into the system:First, the over all darkness relative to the Bryston doesn't bother me in the least. It's ... | |
| Name your favorite sax solo. Perhaps it's been exposed too much, but Paul Desmond on "Take Five" defined a style. No alto player since has dared use those hard reeds and dry tone. To me, it's the definition of how jazz alto should sound. Of course, Pauls discography is a trea... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. Camino, I think that subjective testing is partially in response to people like Julian Hirsch of Stereo Review, claiming that if you couldn't measure a difference there would be no audible difference. We now know that he wasn't measuring everythin... | |
| Stereophile Article - Holt telling it like it is. The problem with surround isn't the format, but inability to record great artists economically. Hardly anyone can afford to record a symphony orchestra in two-channel, much less surround.Most people are happy with processed, synthetic surround, so... | |
| How many hours weekly do you listen to your system For serious listening, I'm at 3 to 8 hours per week. Of course I've constantly got music on at the office, but it's in the background (Apple lossless mostly) I also run the system another 4 or 8 hours at home, when I'm working on something else, b... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Yeah Mrjstark, when you can sit down and listen for six-hours without listener fatigue, you've got a pretty good system and probably don't "need" a new amp. That's where I am with my system also.Dave | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Well, I've had my Conrad Johnson CA200 and see no reason that I won't keep it 25-years like my Bryston before it. Since I'll be 60 in a couple of weeks, then it could very well be my last amp. Very little has changed since I started collecting rec... | |
| On The Feeding And Care Of Vienna Mahlers Looking at pictures of the Soundings room at RMAF, the woofers are facting outward. See:http://live.audiogon.com/i/rmf2007/h/1192929136.jpgI guess the placement is room dependent.Dave | |
| Vienna Acoustics Mahlers too big for my room? I faced the same issue and ended up with the Beethoven Baby Grands. I'm extremely happy with that choice and prefer the Baby Grands to the Beethovens.Dave | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CA200 Amplifier Arthur, thanks for the correction about Yin and Yang.I agree with you about the VA Baby's intergration. I heard the Beethoven first and didn't like the midrange. There seemed to be a nasal coloration that just stood out for me. With some of the sa... | |
| Must see Tobias, I thought with the 2006 date on the film that it'd already been here, but I didn't find it with a search. Sorry for the repeat. If I weren't a newbie I would have known.Dave | |
| Review: Conrad Johnson CA200 Amplifier Thanks Sherod. I was just answering a question about cornets over on TH. It's hard to believe that I have almost 6300 posts over there.You're right, it's never too late to pick it back up. About 3-years ago friend that I now play with regularly pi... |
