| Is the BMG issue dead? Back when they pressed the LPs themselves, it may have been an issue. Now, the get the CDs directly from the plants that are producing the regular CDs. BMG et all just have the labels on the containers modified to includ the BMG club stuff in the ... | |
| When audiophiles visit for a listening session Why can't you just say goodbye?When you INVITE someone, often THEY do not want to be rude and ACCEPT! even if they do NOT WANT TO.You got exactly what you asked for. | |
| Threshold S-150 Should I buy?? Noooooo! sell it to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I would buy it in a heartbeat.I own: Maggies MGIIb with a Forte' 4a (Threshold) | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Yes all I do is LAY around ALL DAY, ALL THE TIME ALL DAY on my days off work... listening to music.I do NOT cook, clean, wash, fix, mend, organize, work on...ANYTHING.I just lay there like a lump and listen to music, enjoying every moment of it. | |
| How do you "polish" a dustcover? Automotive finish product Meguiar's "Scratch X" is wonderful also.And "Viva" brand paper towels do not scratch either!I use the Viva with the Meguiars' Scratch X on all my CD problems, Dustcovers..etc. | |
| Inverted phase preamps? Yeah.. my Adcom pre has a phase switch, but a wish it was remote controlled!!!The switch is there, but it has to be rotated manually.So my wish list for convenient products: Pre amps that have defeatable tone controls, and a remote controlled phas... | |
| Inverted phase preamps? Since 50% of all recordings are phase-inverted, and from one to the next you can't tell except by playing, I would say it does not really matter!!!!!And since most refried/rechannelled/run through a gazillion master consols etc and have NO descern... | |
| 2 dedicated outlets - connected correctly ? The one thing to watch for is that the two outlets are on the same 'leg' of your electrical service.If they are on two different legs then the potential exists (small but real) of a 220v potential between some of your equipment.The way to check fo... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Sorry, I have a bad,bad habit of exaggerating numbers.(Some internal childhood thing mo doubt)I DID play that 89ES everyday for about 16 hours a day for ten years.I start in the morning @ 7:00 AM and left it on for the pets all day, then continued... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? The worst CDP for the money is a broken CDP.No question that one that plays is (usually) better than one that is silent.My first doorstop was the first 1983 Sanyo $1,000. entry model.That Sanyo had a tilt drawer and lasted about a year, Lucky that... | |
| How many sealed LP's do you have? I have found around 40 or so also. All have been opened by me to play.The most common of all are Columbia Classical six eye stereos. Then two eye with black stereo word at bottom. Some were not covered with a platic outer, but the inner Columbia '... | |
| Better for Separates Newbie: Rotel or Adcom? They are really pretty close in sound and performance.Go with the ones that rock your boat.I have owned both companies products and been happy. | |
| HDCD question..... The info needed to 'do' HDCD is in the D/A unit (or not)The transport DOES NOT MATTER.Any transport will do, it is the D/A converter that must have the HDCD decoding. | |
| See it frequently: What exactly is a "troll"? Like trolling for fish.You put out the bait: your inflammatory/obnoxious post..And wait to see how many folks answer.All those folks are "caught" with your "bait".Just like me answering this post, IF you are trolling,IF YOU do not really KNOW what... | |
| How to correctly do dedicated lines for an apt? Also, I use the dedicated airconditioner 20 amp single outlet circuit for my stereo. The (new energy efficient) airconditioner is on another lone 15 amp circuit all by it's self. |
