ProAc Studio 140 vs. Dynaudio Focus 220........
I also would be interested in whether anyone has heard the Proac 140's. I'm looking to change speakers and these are in my price range. Not that it's a big deal but I notice they won the What Hi-Fi award in their price category.... 
The end of LP collecting????
DAMN YOU, Chazzbo for kicking my puppy and taking my last meal money, damn you!That said, buck up, the great thing about humans is that we are mortal and cancer, heart attacks, traffic accidents and the rest mean that ownership of records is only ... 
How Should We Clean A New Record?
Thanks for the info guys. Justin, I wouldn't mind more information on the water situation. I always think it's good to err on the side of more information. People can do with as they will........ 
How Should We Clean A New Record?
I was wondering about the water to be used for rinsing. I use RRL products for record cleaning but do not rinse. I was told, and have read that one uses a two step application, the stronger Super Deep Cleaner then the Super Vinyl wash and vacuum. ... 
The best CD Player for the money
Nanu, Nanu! I am Stockhausen from the star Sirius. Here, music is transmitted telepathically. I am here to share with the GREATEST AUDIOPHILE DIGITAL ADVANCE from the year 2525! No longer will you need expensive interconnects, power cables or amps... 
Bell Labs Computer Speech EP?
Try googling Bell Labs computer music and you will get more results. The EMF Institute even has a snippet of a computer singing "Bicycle Built for Two" as well as a nice timeline. A lot of this research was done as part of computer music research.... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Tgun,I know this is late but I missed some days. I've been suffering through a protracted illness and have been listless and tired, a relative is dying and my brother's hooked on drugs(too much PrAT from his Linn 'table). However your modding post... 
508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark?
Seanbaik,No problem on the name. I thought it was kind of amusing since I'm the one who took your dog and I've trained him to clean my records, it costs me a Milk Bone dog biscuit per side but it's worth it. Kidding.....Yeah, I had a bad experienc... 
508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark?
Seanbaik, I'm not saying give up on digital. I think that there's no way around owning a ton of CD's(I have 2-3 thousand). I just think that my best sounds have always come through my turntables. If want to check out some tables in Seattle there i... 
508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark?
Seanbaik,I'm with you man! I'd get a shotgun and pull a Kurt Cobain if I had to listen to smooth jazz! I remember some old audiophile who had me over to show off his system and he played the GRP All-Stars (don't ask just be very afraid) and it nea... 
508 18 bit upgrade or just add a dac, benchmark?
One thing that I wanted to point out was that a lot of the above bands mentioned produced better sounding music than various CD issues would have us believe. Joy Division LP's sound fine as do the first couple PIL records. In fact if you have Meta... 
Will Wadio ever make an SACD player?
After 5 years and someone's trumpeting 2700 titles available? I got more titles than that on CD right here in this room. Hell, I could buy more than 2700 brand new LP titles right now. I don't see any reason for Wadia to pony up the money for SACD... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
Hey Artar! Glad to have you back. Interesting purchase, I have heard great things about the Moerch arm. My X-mas was uneventful, I worked. I went to Detroit the week before and a record store that I used to go to in Ann Arbor and thought long gone... 
Pin out on Benz Micro ACE Low Red
Just figured that I'd chime in that this is the same as my ACE High output. That makes the hat trick for answers..... 
$800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path
You mean, you think, that it's possible that Artar is actually "Listening to Music" instead of hanging out here on the audiothreads!!! For shame! He's the one that got us into this mess in the first place. I'm still wrangling with work to take the...
