| Component dampening By Asphalt, do you mean like asphalt shingles?I actually prefer Ice and water shield, especially "Grace" brand. | |
| Which CDs to test a component? Fidelis Records "Piazzola" | |
| Flamenco and Tango Speaking of Piazzola, you may wish to check out Fidelis Records website www.fidelisrecords.com . They are issuing a piazzola that is incredible! Far superior sonically to the Nonesuch recording, and (get this) a superior performance. I have a test... | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com To rcrump: Did you hear any new music (CD's) at CES that stand out? (IE; Great sounding new discs?) | |
| vmps, art d/io, & boldercables.com All I can add is that there is a HUGE difference between stock and modified. Albert Porter has sent his off to the same guy that modified mine for $140.00. The guy did all mods described at cfrasers site, minus the Class A mod, plus socketed the A... | |

| Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD You may have missed my point, Tireguy. I don't mind Smooth Jazz while riding in an elevator or as background music while walking through a Casino in Lost Wages. In fact, it is relaxing. But during a listening session? No way. That's when you bring... | |
| Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food?? Prime Rib Barbequed on a Webber Charcoal grill until the inside temp reaches 128 degrees, (Medium Rare). Yummmmmmy!Seafood on the grill isn't bad either. | |
| the "ultimate" amp or preamp I agree 100% Timo. Circuit design is where it's at. Many designs are built around circuits designed years back. Some use newer, proprietary circuits. Some expensive amps and pre-amps don't use expensive parts, which leaves more for chassis and fac... | |
| the "ultimate" amp or preamp Sounds like you're talking about Tube Research Labs. Point to point wiring, fully tube regulated (since 1989), best parts available. I'm not a parts man, but newer units use FIM Cable wiring, proprietary caps that are far better than Black Gate (I... |
