| R.E.M. Accelerate - LP or CD? One of the positive attributes mentioned in a review I read...perhaps the Rolling Stone review...was the compression. Compression contributed the crunchy/punchy sound of rock music. | |
| Pictures, More Pictures 7 out of 9 folks who have responded to this thread are of the opinion that the requests for additional photos are reasonable, and that at the very least front and back photos are a must. The other two responses were essentially off topic and made ... | |
| Washington Post article - "Effects of Nanotubes... Like asbestos, this stuff is dangerous in it's powder, dust or raw state, and not when it's in the final manufactured state.That's why the article mentions consumer and recyclers who might be destroying the products containing nanotubes or asbesto... | |
| Pictures, More Pictures I think the requests you've received for additional photos are reasonable.Your ad for the Rowland Capri could use at least one additional photo of the back of the units to show the input/output configuration and power connections.The ad for your s... | |
| Do DACs break down less than a CD player? I use a Mac, iTunes and a Squeezebox. There are many other alternatives, but I'm not very familiar with the PC options. Mac keeps it simple. | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: That makes sense. When I replaced drivers on my Castle Acoustics speakers, the replacement drivers came with new foam gaskets. I suspect over tightening would eliminate the benefit of the gasket.The VD video makes mention of not using too much tor... | |
| R.E.M. Accelerate - LP or CD? Just picked up a pair of 35th row center tix for the R.E.M. Hollywood Bowl show with Modest Mouse. Never seen them, so I'm looking forward to it! | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: I haven't listened critically,yet. However, I do notice a slightly less fatiguing sound, and I changed the toe-in of my speakers a little (toe-ed them in more). They are easily removed, and the TopStick used to adhere them will not leave a residue... | |
| SET friendly speakers w/ slam? Kenk168, I'm glad you found the amp that's right for you.I suspect the NuForce's performance on my speakers had more to do with the fact that they do not double power output as impedance is halved, than it has to do with amp break in. Here are the... | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: I just fashioned another tweak...a knock-off of felt tweeter surrounds presently being sold.$23 worth of high density felt from McMaster dot com, an an arch punch purchased on E-Bay. Fastened to the speakers with TopStick toupe tape (my wife is a ... | |
| Need warm sounding cables: Transparent Ref. MM? Four days ago you started a thread because you had just purchased Wilson WP8? Which do you own? Both? | |
| Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics: Sherod, you sure procured a torque driver lickety split! | |
| Straley Reality Cables... RE: coverings My money is one no one having compared covered versus uncovered except for Gregg...He recommends uncovered or white cotton, and he claims the black covering affects the sound, whereas the white cotton does not. | |
| NHT Superones or Magnepan MMG W? I have owned SuperOnes for eight or nine years. Love them. Wonderfully musical speakers in a non-hifi way. I drive them with a Denon 3801 receiver. |
