| Do you believe in Magic? One school of thought uses gestalt in visual perception. We see the whole and later discern the parts. Can it be that gestalt is also used aurally? In fact, since the limits of hearing are absolute (limited to that tiny opening and yes, bones and ... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? Ghosthouse,Point taken. Unfallen angel it is. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? Trelja & Ghosthouse,Nothing like testimonial from credible and sound sources such as yourselves. That Forbes article on the trials and tribulations of Michael Allen made me wince. Lesser men would have folded. He saw something in that product ... | |
| Local dealer has ESP Trust me, like all seers, he has your best interests at heart. It's just that he's so busy saving everyone else all he has time to do is get to the point of what he has to say and move on to the next. Soon, for him, he's going to be like that kid ... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? Treja,That gives me pause, as far as turntables are concerned. But there does seem to be enough outlets stateside that sell Jolida, among them VTV, Quest For Sound, NewTube, USATubeAudio, SpearitSound, and others. I believe one offers cap upgrades... | |
| Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good? My old Cayin TA-30 from Paul at BizzyBee was my first and only tube amp. Great sound and a kissin' cousin (if not outright fraternal twin) to the Prima Luna which came out around the same time. Paul, sadly, is gone and so are his products but the ... | |
| Faceplates Silver or Black??????? I can go with either color as long as it has a matte finish. I never liked the shiny stuff, except for knobs and buttons for that added contrast.What would be better is a matte finish contrasted with a satin finish for the controls. I prefer subtl... | |

| Do We need a dedicated server on PC format Good luck on this. I feel this is an overlooked aspect. Laymen like me need familiarity and a laptop that is nothing more than a dedicated music server sounds like the way to go. Convenience rules in this market. Everyone knows their way around a ... | |
| Do We need a dedicated server on PC format An audiophile 'songbook' that does what a music server does in a laptop, makes a lot of sense. If it can be done on the sonic level of let's say, a CAPS 2.0, then you'd have a winner on your hands.Even if you'd have to go back to a thicker design,... | |
| Cables ... what's up with them? The Cable Company is a good choice. I believe Clear Day Cables still offer a demo pair or two that are already broken in. If you like them, buy a new pair while you send back the demo pair. There should be enough samples out there to give you a go... | |
| the quest for the best--within limits I believe it's just a matter of people not having the buying power they used to have. Not just what they have in the bank but also what they can afford to put on credit. It's the economy.Also, they rely on those who have gone before them and their... | |
