| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Point taken, I should have put "conventional wisdom" in inverted commas. The thing is, since I had my Lego stuff to experiment with anyway I thought give it a try, it can't harm. Now Shunyata's telling us it will harm. | |
| Stereotime compares AMR CD7 vs. Reimyo CD777 Did they compare AMR CD77 or AR CD7?(something about highend cdps and sevens) | |
| The best hifi magazine? A few thoughts on the subject of measurements in magazines. I wholeheartedly agree with Raquel measurements are more than just nice-to-have, sometimes even essential for judging whether the intended pairing of different gear looks promising or for... | |

| Jazz artists for late starter. A few I believe I haven't seen so far: Carla Bley (even if you don't like it, you should have heard Escalator Over The Hill once), Charlie Haden, Gary Burton, Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Red Garland Quintet, John P... | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. An endless list to choose from so I'll take up your point about drummers to start somewhere. In no particular order here are just a few of the icons, indispensible in every collection, whereby, looking at your list you're likely to have some of th... | |
| Audio Research 230/240 volts As I write this, my PS Premier is telling me incoming voltage is in the range of 239-241V whereas it is supposed to be 230V here in Germany. It has been showing that every day for 11 months it has been in my system. So it would seem, before I had ... | |
