| No computer?? Rives,Very interesting post. I recently took a vacation back to where I was raised and educated. My time was divided between visiting with high school chums and the audiophile friends of long ago. I got the pleasure of auditioning lots of tube bas... | |
| Music industry troubles caused by radio? Yeah, this is a complex issue and one that I cannot address outside of the U.S. In the U.S. we have 3 major corporations that own the majority of the stations. Payola is real, in that the stations are paid by the record companies to promote certai... | |
| MC cartridge s question?? Incredible score! I don't know about the others but I'll give you your total investment for the Red. I doubt if you'll take me up on it once you read the posts. | |
| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Coca Cola and a doobie. | |
| tapestries and posters help with sound absorption? Audiogoon,I like your handle by the way. I rather doubt what I'm describing is meant for foundations. This would be used commercially for perhaps meat locker walls. I've been carting around three boxes of the stuff for 20 years. I can find no prod... | |
| Best sounding music Janis Ian, "Breaking Silence", on LP, great music, stunning recording. Folks, this is my reference recording. The generic CD version is very shallow however.Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken", on LP, even my non-bluegrass loving... | |
| tapestries and posters help with sound absorption? The tapestry may help a little. Consider some framed, dense fiberglass (Owens Corning) covered with your choice of material. Colored burlap is the best choice. These fiberglass panels are 2' x 4' and available in 1" and 2" thicknesses. | |
| Smooth, "Film Like" Treble: Happiness At Last... CW,This happens all the time. Fuji film exagerates colors. Car manufacturers gear econoboxes so they seem to actually have something that resembles power on a demo around the block. The miracle shampoo you buy that works well the first time but bu... | |
| Who Are You? or should I say "who were you?" I sometimes think I'm the only person in Idaho that loves music enough to invest in quality home playback. I'm a two channel guy and, like Twl, spin vinyl. I do have a CDP to play back the small digital software selection I own. About 30 years ago... | |
| What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong? This site is near perfection. Let's keep in mind that this is a business model and that the features we enjoy the most are meant to keep us coming back. It's a rare finished product that maintains viewer interest and makes money. They have done it... | |
| Is Remote Control Important? Performance is the top priority. I must admit that I like my remote for the same reasons as stated by others but I wouldn't miss it if it were gone. I still shift gears in my real car. | |
| What was your latest LP find?? Lanman,I don't have a clue what the album is worth. Open it up and play it. Elvis memorabilia will always be desireable opened or not. Tom, thanks for the positive feedback. Do wa ditty ditty dittos. :)Happy listening,Patrick | |
| Hard Disk Playback Systems Onhwy61,You get no argument from me on anything you said. I didn't elaborate but "most" audiophiles want all kinds of tweaks to be done to their CDP's such as isolation feet, high-zoot interconnects, aftermarket power cords, on and on. I doubt tha... | |
| Hard Disk Playback Systems The cost of the Linn keeps me from seriously considering such a move. The computer based systems are not good enough for most audiophiles. | |
| OT: Windows XP Update Service Pack 1 Thanks Sean, I passed with flying colors...a tribut to Nortons. If anyone would like to check their computer performance go to www.pcpitstop.com and run the check. This is a very helpful tool to tune up the speed of your machine. |
