Todays Raido Stations suck
Jposs;You said it better and sweeter than I did: This coming from what at least half of you would call just another old fart...me. 
What do you use to burn in cables???
I just bought a pair of ic's and i took them over to my Grandparents' home. They have satellite and the TV is on for most of the day. I had previously hooked the S-Video to the satellite receiver and I am using the audio connection to burn in a pa... 
Todays Raido Stations suck
Zaikesman;Don't be too worried about tomorrow's artists. Look what the great rock artists of the fifties followed.What was the 'number one' song when the Beatles his town? I thing it was Dominee(sp?) by The Singing Nun. 
Todays Raido Stations suck
Anytime anyone keeps talking about 'the good old days' I expect another of to sound like our parents. It is true that the so-called alternative stations of the late 60's and 70's don't seem to be as much 'out there'. Of course, one must measure th... 
Capitole MKII Phase controller ..0 or 180 ?..
Thanks Golden one, I really did not understand it until you came at me again. i do appreciate the patience. I have never listened for this either way. I think I have a CD-player test disc somewhere...and I think it got into the phase inversion. Si...

Twl, while I am a bit new here-abouts, I compliment you in the consistency of your posts your posts, and you don't mind taking on the whole room in the process. Any such person, I do admire. Your posts are informative and provacative. thank you. O...

RE: Cpdunn99.wow...very old thread...very relevant subject. Is the auther still around? I printed it for further study. One entry: from Cpdunn99..there are blues guitarists...there are blues-sounding guitarists, and that's Clapton. Damn!...well said. 
Capitole MKII Phase controller ..0 or 180 ?..

Paradigm Studio Speakers with tubed gear? Anyone?
Well, Meech at least you gave me yet one more set of speakers to check out as I already have the mcIntosh 2102. sorry, i couldn't help you as much as you helped me..... 
Popping Sound Coming From Speakers
Does this happen with both left and right speakers. Big question. If it only happens to one speaker, try reversing and see if the problem follows. i recently bought a pair os custom interconnects from someone well-regarded on audiogon and he shipp... 
Comparison of Wadia 850 to Meridian 588
Don't forget the Audio Aero. I have at last compared the Audio Aero to the Wadia and i prefer the Audio Aero. 
Damned if I Do and Damed if I Don't
My wife and I could look at the same piece of clothing in a store window and we get different impressions. While I see form, she sees color. I do many big projects around the house, but without her sense of style and color my finishes would be hig... 
Are Recording Engineers "Certified"?
I really don't know if 'certification/dgrees' would mean much as those of us in our own professions---whatever they may be--would probably agree that 60% of the people in our various professions are not as competent as the rest...Also, I think tha... 
CDP w/Tube output stage works as Tube preamp ?
I am not so sure you need a preamp at all unless you are using vinyl. a passive preamp(this has only volumn controls) can work if your Cd player lacks a volumn control. I am finding that I don't really need to use bass and treble enhancements when... 
Tube Festival - Bay Area, California
Thanks;I just called Ben and, since I happen to be in San Francisco this weekend, I will go. Careful, I know the Randall Museum. It is in a curious location just above the Castro and parking is bad. Also, finding the place can be tricky.
