| JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash? Bomarc,I agree that there may be no difference between XRCD and K2, but I specifically recall comparing the notes on 2 versions of Sonny Rollins, Saxophone Colossus. The XRCD one, which I am holding as I type, says:XRCD mastering - Alan Yoshida un... | |
| JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash? I started buying xrcd's about a year ago and wondered the same thing. I called JVC America and talked to a high level techie who knew a lot about the process, but didn't know anything about other labels using the 20bit k2 process. I did my own res... | |
| Help with OL-Tonearm and Cartridge. Yes you can put it straight into the amp, which is a great idea if your tt is your only source, or if you don't mind swapping interconnects from time to time.If you are going to put it into the preamp first, you will want to set the volume control... | |
| JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash? XRCD.COM is owned by JVC and, if it's not on there, it doesn't exist.As to cost, you can often find xrcd's at cheapcds.com, tower.com for somewhat of a discount. | |

| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Bomarc:Fair enough. I fully agree about the possibilities of multichannel.

| Coupling or isolating floorstan. to the floor? awdeeofyle: ya got me how the aurio's work (or even IF they work). I'm actually a skeptic of many of the tweaks on the market, including most isolation devices. Of course, I can respect someone's differing opinion. Having said that, I certainly do... | |
| Coupling or isolating floorstan. to the floor? Because a speaker cone is coupled to the cabinet, the cabinet will always vibrate to some extent with the cone. This causes a dissipation of energy which can result in loss of efficiency as well as phasing inaccuracy. So the idea is to hold the ca... | |
| Record Cleaning - Cartridge Damage Try silly putty. You can get an egg at a toy store for $2.00 and it will last a lifetime. Just let the stylus rest on the silly putty under it's own weight for a second and you're done. Recommended by my Linn dealer. BTW there is another thread he... | |
