| Listen up Pretty interesting. I've always wondered why Katy Lied was so less a recording that the others. If you enjoyed reading this then by all means get the book, Reelin' In The Years. It's a great read full of just this kind of information that's so int... | |
| Underestimated, song, artist or group '' gems'' ? Either most of the artists on my list are long forgotten or not recognized by the masses. The asterisks indicate the artist generally used good recording techniques, IMHO. If very few recordings merit playing on your system then don't bother looki... | |
| OT: asbestos in vermiculite attic insulation Asbestos is no longer used in brake pads. There may be some kind of exception to this but I'm not aware of one. I wish I could buy asbestos shingles. They last forever and I doubt if I would inhale one. | |
| Active Linn Katans Christian,One of the first records I listened to after going Aktiv was Donald Fagen's "Nightfly". When Ruby Tuesday came on I got concerned when I heard THAT bass note that happens three times. Whoa. I had no idea my system could go that low. Two ... | |

| LEDE does anyone subscribe to this? Danny,I don't think it's regarded as the right solution here among the pros. It does have its application in the right room with the right speakers and there os no harm in trying. I've heard this concept used with small monitors that were against ... | |
| Open-Minded or Gullible? Jax2,Have you applied for a patent yet? ROTFLMAO | |
| Open-Minded or Gullible? Eldartford,I'm one that made other comments. My official vote is that no, reversing a fuse does not make a difference although cleaning it would. A lot of the stuff that I snicker at may actually make a difference in a very revealing system but my... | |
| Active Linn Katans Christian,The first thing that comes to mind is whether the amps, left and right, are hooked up correctly when using the LK-85's. There really shouldn't be any difference except at higher volumes. If you installed the cards yourself, I'd start loo... | |
| Active Linn Katans Christian,I'm not sure I understand the entire nature of your post. I think you are trying to say you have too much bass. If so, you should try to reposition them away from walls and especially corners. I have the Aktiv Keilidh's and without going... | |
| Listening to ALL your music I've found that the more software I have the harder it is to decide what to play. It's easy to go with the old standbys whether for sonics or convenience. I ask my wife what she would like to hear and playing that request mixes things up enough to... | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Doug,That's a pretty magical analog rig you've got. Seriously. Regarding hygene....DIY is too cheap not to do. Man, I hate cleaning records!!! At least once they are clean it's just a swipe with a carbon brush. | |
| The BLISS of returning to ANALOG: my experience Plato,We did what we did with what we had. Like I said in my first post, there isn't a lot of high end stuff to listen to in our area. I didn't come across as relating my system as anything special. To the contrary, I termed it modest by Audiogon ... | |
| How do I capture good fm stereo to cd? or digital? Digital audio tape IMHO. | |
| The BLISS of returning to ANALOG: my experience I guess I'm gonna have to take up lying for a hobby since telling the truth gets me in trouble. Whatever. |
