| Heat Shrink Tubing - How ??? Sugarbrie, now that it is all through, why and where for high heaven's sake did you want to tube your shrink? What's he done to you??!! Happy new Year! Detlof | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? Bear, they are hornloaded, don't hiss and the URL iswww.acapella.de | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? B, I sincerely hope that I'm NOT right. The Dynaudios will play louder, higher, deeper and dynamically punchier than most of the ESL would. However those are unbeaten in the midrange, where most of our finer listening takes place, so I'd try the e... | |
| What's wrong with tailoring the sound? As far as I am concerned the admirable Sean has put it magnificently into a nutshell: Personally I am more of a music lover than an audiophile, besides I hate all forms of dogmatisms. So I'll play around with the timbres of my system, according to... | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? The reason, I suggested trying an ELS speaker was in fact for you to see, if the "coating" still persists, because those kinds of transducers never come close to "coating" the music even ever so slightly. A "positive" result would rule out, that t... | |
| Plasma speakers anyone with info? I own a pair of the before mentioned A-Capella Ion speakers and I'm still very much alive. They have the ozone problem licked a hundred percent and there are no precautions to be taken. I see no drawbacks except the price, which is hideous! (About... | |
| What equipment do you really like? jadis and spectral period | |
| Has anyone else ever reached an audio impasse? I would borrow a good pair of electrostats or two of those modern horn speakers and start experimenting again. After all, width and debth of soundstage isn't all. There is dynamics from pppp to ffff and the rendering of the right timbre of instrum... | |
| SPECTRAL 100/DMC 20 preamp comments.... To my ears, all the input above is right on the money. You will not tire of this gear. ( Have used, am still using the 200s, the 360s, the 50s switched for mono and the DMA 20 I and II and the DMA 30, all with MIT.)Cheers, | |
| Recordings that trounce your system? Greg, you might well add E. Schwarzkopf to that list(emi), especially the US pressings. | |
| Heat Shrink Tubing - How ??? If the hairdryer won't do, borrow a heat-gun, if you can't find one to borrow, bake it in the oven as suggested, but suspend or stand up the cable somehow, so that the heat can get at the tubing equally all around. | |
| Found a gold mine Offer them 50cents an LP for the pristine ones and sell those you don't want here or on EBay, you lucky so and so!Cheers! | |
| Recordings that trounce your system? What a fine thread this has turned out to be! Thanks Fam, for initiating it and thanks SDcampbell for sharing that wonderful story with us! RCprince, it is unfortunatly not only the DG cds from the early eighties. I bought Abado's rendering of the... | |
| How hard is it to admit you bought bad gear? Jvia, excellent thread! Yes, I think the more expensive a component, the bigger your suggestibility. I think, this gets even worse, if you can get something expensive at a much cheaper price. I remember being offered two FM-Accoustics amps for the... | |
| Recordings that trounce your system? Well Fam, it used to be that musically a bit questionable Tschaikovski 1812 rendering done I think by Telarc and before them on Mercury Living Presence, which regularly made the stylus jump a groove or two when the cannon blasts came and the Quads... |
