| Very short speaker cable length recommended? Sean used to argue against the conventional wisdom of long ICs and short speaker cables, reeasoning that the "stronger" signal from the amp is better suited to a long run than is a line-level signal. Others disagreed, of course.We tend to accept c... | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? Can't speak for Sean, but it seems to me that is the argument. For example, the Nottingham has such a low torque motor (but high inertia platter) that you have to give it push to get the platter going. That's by design. | |
| Is Direct Drive Really Better? This is an excellent topic and discussion! What I find so intriguing about the resurgence of interest in DD and idler wheel designs is the retrospection it is prompting abou how the high-end has developed. Do you all remember Harry Pearson's first... | |
| Where to find quality "stock" power cords Based on the enthusiasm for Volex in this thread, I ordered a bunch of them last night for myself. Not that I need more power cords, but at <$6 apiece (in quantities of 2 or more), I figure I can use them as stocking stuffers. Wouldn't it be ni... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Mr. Neil's journey makes for a good read but that's about all. I have found Dodgealum's writings over the past year-plus extremely useful. | |
| Anyone seen or heard new Thiel CS3.7 I find it less unattractive than some other designs I can think of, like those things Musical Surroundings is selling, or some of Green Mountain's offerings, or the Gilmores. Can't wait to hear these. | |
| Convert rca cable into xlr cable. You need to ask the cable manufacturer. I have had both Cardas nd Harmonic Tech cables re-terminated to XLR, but could not have it done with some Wireworld I once had. | |
| Where to find quality "stock" power cords Thanks everybody. I ordered the Volex, they look like just the ticket. | |
| I love my Vandersteen's but . . . . . . . . What a great happy ending, Tom. Congratulations! | |
| Computer-Based Audio Primer Has anyone implemented a NAS solution in a Mac + iTunes environment? Someone told me yesterday that there are word length restrictions in OSX that make it incompatible with using network attached storage as the residence for your music library, an... | |

| Why do digital cables sound different? Precisely. Which is why it is so curious that digital cables do seem to sound different from one another. | |
| Tivoli Radio??? The Wave radio was pretty much the only good thing about that hotel. | |
| XLR-RCA adapters - which to choose? Now that I think about it, I have to agree with Bwyoung's assessment that the Cardas lend a slight darkening to the sound. That's the Cardas sound and it's amazing how it manifests in everything they make. Or is my mind imposing my mental image of... | |
| Tivoli Radio??? When I was growing up, we had a rather large Zenith table radio. It was in a wood enclosure with small feet. It had tubes of course and was a two-way. A bit bass heavy but, damn, it sounded great.Gunbei, I've had a few of those Protons and gave so... |
