| Tranfiguration Orpheus description On 9/19 I posted, "I still intend to listen (with my Temper W) to the critical passages Doug identified on the Trio and Sonic Fireworks albums. (I've pulled them out, so that's a start ;--)" OK. So it's been a month. I'm finally listening (with my... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? D_edwards, I'm not sure what you mean by:"If you listen in two channel only, you are not getting the best digital has too offer. Infact you're getting the nasty end of the stick."unless you're referring to multi-channel SACD.However, I have experi... | |
| Tubeaholics please advise If you love those amps with your CLSs (and you should!) have this guy upgrade them to the max, which includes a separate biasing unit that allows the use of unmatched 6LF6's:http://www.altavistaaudio.com/SA-4.html. | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? Well Mike, there was a (dark) time when certain major recording companies were trying to get the most onto vinyl instead of the most out of vinyl -- i.e. Dynagroove (and don't think RCA was the only culprit) but thank God for Mercury! My point is ... | |
| Is Digital actually better than Analog? There are secondary (reflected) sound waves which come from the sides and rear of concert halls and other large venues that do get recorded onto two channel formats. And with proper processing can be extracted and redirected to additional channels... | |
| Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3 I'm having a really hard time understanding these legal issues:First, I've always understood that it's perfectly legal to make a single copy of a CD (purchased retail) for one's own use -- whether it's on your server, iPod, optical disc or cassett... | |
| Embedded rumble... on LP's that is... Nice system! White is a lovely color for audio gear, isn't it?There were many records in the old days with a very low frequency rumble that was due to (uneven cooling I think in) the pressing process. Many preamps/receivers of the day came with wh... | |
| Thinking about selling my CD collection = MP3 I'm not sure I agree with Davt's legal interpretation, but notwithstanding, I think you should do your MP3 transfer for now and just put the CDs in dead storage. For 2 reasons:1.) You won't get that much for them. You'll get a buck apiece as a col... | |
| Great budget phono cable needed Tony, I don't know much about the Tara either except that they have a good rep and it's within your budget.You often see van den Huls for sale because they come with SME arms -- stay away.There are two more good cables at $300+ (just search "phono... | |
| 25' balanced ic that a mere mortal can afford? IMO, a 25' line level IC is just TOO long. Even if balanced, you'd be pushing it (asking for EMI and RFI) for the relatively lower strength line signal (lower than your tuner or CD) coming out of a phono preamp. I'd advise against it. If you want ... | |

| Review: Sony MDR-7506 Professional Headphones Tweak If the 7506 is differently constructed than the V6, no one (including SONY) has ever said what the differences are. For Beyer products in Australia, these people should be able to help:Audio TelexConference & Presentation, Music & Performa... | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc Tim, whether or not one agrees with the science/theory, the undisputable fact is that if you don't connect all the wire strands together electrically at each end of the cable, then you are not using its full conducting capability.. | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc The reason for the insulated multi-strand wire design (some with a teflon or nylon rod at the core) has to do with solving time smear, and began with Bruce Brisson's (owner of MIT) original design for Monster Cable. The cables consist of two or mo... | |
| Anyone familiar with Straightwire Black Silc Tim, you will need a high temperature solder pot (full of silver solder) to properly prepare that kind of wire for termination (it vaporizes the enamel insulation and solders all the strands together all at once.)My recommendation is that you send... |
