| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . Thanks Argent and good luck. | |
| Even "Cheap" CD-RW work in Sony 9000ES My recollection is reading that there are two storage sizes with CD-Rs, and the Sony 9000 plays one size and not the other. Hearsay, but it seemed to be a good source. | |
| Adding a Second Sub If you are crossing over low enough, then you don't need two subs for stereo as Faberryman and others have pointed out. But two subs often gives a better result - the main reason being that you can get smoother response. Some subs use two drivers,... | |
| The Unbelievable Sheila Chandra... That wet stuff in your pants isn't "pee" Issabre - otherwise I agree. | |
| Where can I buy Tara labs hook up wire? In case you don't know, I thought I would mention that the inside of components is a very different environment than outside. In my experience, some cables that sound good as interconnects have proved to sound horrid as internal hook-up cable. I w... | |
| SFCD-1 UPGRADES??? I am sure there are other things you can do, but I would not recommend it. Sonic Frontiers is a company that is quite painstaking over component selection (except the horrid valves they use) and you will find it very difficult to identify any sub-... | |
| Congested sound, new speakers? My theory is that the Thiel 1.5s will cause you to head towards more electronic/dynamic music and away from acoustic music, because that is where the 1.5s work best. One thing I would try is changing those cables. The DHLabs are OK for the price b... | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . I musta bin a bad Audiogon citizen when I made that last post, coz I have negative votes. Having seen the error of my ways and being truly remorseful (but not offering reparations), I will refrain from posting opinions that do not conform to conve... | |
| Cones vs. factory spikes? I have not found any universal rules in this area, and it seems to depend on a number of factors. For example, with the hybrid Logans, rigid coupling to the floor is critical or the bass unit does not integrate at all well with the panel. But with... | |
| Is there an SACD that can play cds well? Many thanks to Albert and others here, for the efforts they have put in to sharing their very valuable insights with these players. I suspect many of us will now be able to act with more confidence on the new SACD players. | |
| Need SS preamp that sounds like tube . I digress, but good to know Ken that I am not the only one to believe that solid state pre with valve power is a better combination than the other way around. The High End took a wrong turn when it went the way of "difficult to drive" speakers, de... | |
| Best Buy Preamp SF 3SE or BAT50SE I find these two to be chalk and cheese. The BAT is a lush tube sound that has a certain seductiveness that many find indispensable (I don't). The SF3 SE is much more neutral overall, but seems to be slightly robbed of life compared with a bypass ... | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? G'day Detlof, mate. | |
| Cable "burning": Real or VooDoo ??? Hi Sean. I am going to make one "picky point", that is meant to add to your post rather than negate it. And that is that I disagree that the techs have to "renounce" or "dismiss" anything except their assumptions. For a true scientist, all you hav... | |
| TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE Sedond and Dekay, I admire your patience with the bullies. When Jostler makes claims that bi-wiring makes no difference, and yet claims the scientific high ground he is being fraudulent - and his band of cohorts have been variously guilty of the s... |
