| Overpriced Tube Amps Those damned Toulouse Lautrec paintings, when he lived over the whore house he would give you one for a good dinner and a glass of Absinthe. Some idiots are paying over a million dollars a piece for these things. When I buy a Lautrec, I don't pay ... | |
| Does having an object inbetween the speakers bad? It's really not that easy to answer and depends on if the rack is between, but behind the speakers, or between and foreward of the speakers. The horizontal dispersion of most moving coil speakers is frequency dependent and the interaction of the s... | |
| Is anyone listening to Laura Cantrell? I just picked up the "Humming By The Flowered Vine" LP on Matador 150 gram vinyl. It is very good, though not as good as the Sundazed vinyl of "When The Roses Bloom Again". I would call it broadly comparable to the sound on the CD, but for $10.50 ... | |
| Request contact with owners of Micro Seiki MR-711 Eppe2000 thanks so much; I will contact you off board. Thom, wow, great to hear from one of the leaders of the New Wave of designers in the sport. I will take another try at the Yahoo group. Until then, please keep the torch burning and shoot for ... | |
| Has anyone tried the Wiremold L10320 power strip? Thanks so much; I greatly appreciate it.Marty | |
| Has anyone tried the Wiremold L10320 power strip? I am really interested in this piece, but cannot find it on either the Allied or Wiremold sites, can you give me guidance?Marty | |
| Need Mono Blend - Will This Work? Yes, this will give you a mono signal, but usually when this is done to set azimuth, one channel is hooked up out of phase. The idea would be to adjust the azimuth with a mono signal so that no sound comes out of the speaker(s), the anti-phase cha... | |
| Beautiful Equipment Stands? Now that they did not make the playoffs, I would use Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders. They are beautiful, but not very elegant, particularly when supporting audio gear. And the WAF is zero. | |
| What song best sums up the previous year? Huh, I havn't heard a lot of these songs. | |
| Please help me choose a new cart, advice needed I have just had a discussion with another member who has the WTRP and it appears that caution is in order when using this arm with the Denon Cartridges. My early production arm was quite heavy, but as he pointed out, the arm on the WTRP and the ca... | |
| Please help me choose a new cart, advice needed I owned this arm and both the Denon 103 and 103R are good matches if your phono preamp has the appropriate gain. Both are readily available from www.audiocubes.com, and there are several resellers on ebay as well. The rumors of the 103D coming bac... | |
| Any arm/cartridge ideas? Realize, the $500.00 would buy you a used Rega P3, and if you sold the Systemdek for say $275.00 you would be most of the way to the Dynavector 10X5 or Denon 103R moving coil cartridges. That said, I would forget the arm upgrade, which seems an in... | |
| Rotel RCD 1072, As a CDP,Transport or with LinkDac Sorry, I do not know how the importer in Canada is marking it up, but the Rega Planet is an interesting alternative. I have owned both, and my sense is that the differences are pretty clearly drawn and one will prefer one or the other, it won't be... | |
| Worst Name for A Piece of Equipment Joe, you kill me! | |
| Rotel RCD 1072, As a CDP,Transport or with LinkDac I had a 1072, and previously had borrowed a Link Dak. There would be no contest at all, the Rotel besting it in all areas. Not even close. I never tried it as a transport, but it is quite nice as a player. You may want to consider spending a bit m... |
