| Cables "Burn In" Sugar, the main benefits that i've experienced from "burning" cables is that they tend to sound far more natural, offer increased liquidity and sound less "hi-fi". Rough edges are removed and all that you are left with is the music in an even more... | |
| Replacing internal wiring. Tom, what brand of solder is that ? I know that Cardas has a copper element to it, but it is surely not a high enough level to call it copper based. Care to share your "secret" with us ? Sean> | |
| Cables "Burn In" Unless you put them on some type of "burner" for more than a few days, they will never fully "burn in". Nor will you ever know their full potential. I base these statements on past experience with cables that i have used under normal circumstances... | |
| Any experience with Rick Schultz SACD mods? My experience is that Rick is BRUTALLY honest, to the point of hurting his own business. He is not taken to "hype" and basically says what is on his mind without overstating anything. I know for fact that he has talked people out of doing business... | |
| What's your tube pre doing? South, i can't remember who it was, but someone else posted a similar question about Cary vs ARC a while back. I and several others stated that we thought that they were on somewhat opposite ends of the spectrum tonally ( the Cary's are warm and f... | |
| Sellers adding for PayPal use is plainly BS 1) Paypal is strictly a convenience2) Credit cards are strictly a convenience3) Convenience saves time4) Time is money5) Pay the fees if you want to use a convenient service ( Paypal ) and take advantage of another convenience ( credit card ) at t... | |
| Professional vs. Consumer speakers Kind of funny, but most of the better studios that are concerned with "audiophile grade" or just plain old "high quality" reproduction have gone to using "hi-end" speakers rather than the typical "professional studio monitors" that they were using... | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? Thanks a lot Tim : ) Anybody remember the barely risque' covers from Roxy Music that ended up getting "edited" ??? Sean> | |
| What's your favorite album cover art ? The eerie and spooky artwork of H.R. Giger appears on or in many of my favorite albums. Some of his stuff is very creepy yet has intense "drawing power". The interior of his house looks just as freaky. I'm sure others will come to mind, but his st... | |
| Compliance compatibilty for low mass linear arms? I'm kind of in the same boat over here Twl. I think that you're "gut feeling" is probably right, as those were the same thoughts that i had too. Sean> | |
| Question: Does ATC have the best midrange driver? Tweeker, I was not suggesting the Manger's, only passing on info that i found interesting and thought that others might too. As to your comments about Lowther's, my very limited experience with them was not that thrilling either. Most folks that i... | |
| PsAudio 300? After doing a lot of reading about these ( never used one myself ), i'd simply pass on that the general consensus is that 300 watts of rated output is somewhat "liberal". Most folks say that they find these to work best and run a LOT cooler with a... | |
| Audio and HT - Finding Balance It is too bad that nobody makes a simple piece like the old Adcom GSP-560 that is AC-3 / DTS capable with a bit more power. I think that it would sell like hotcakes as it was both convenient and practial due to solving this very problem. Sean> | |
| Replacing internal wiring. Sol322, i have a pretty good idea of how to solder and would venture to say that i've performed well in excess of 100,000 solder joints in the last few years. Even with all of the past experience that i have and trying to "clean and prep" the surf... | |
| Best CD player Homedesign, you keep spouting off about "source material" and "psycho-acoustics" as if one can not hear differences in components or that one should only listen to good recordings. How many people would be willing to sacrifice TONS upon TONS of "e... |
