| The criteria for loudspeaker choices. The Eminent Technology LFT-8 is an over-looked gem of a speaker! With its push-pull magnet structure it has superior transient response in the vital midrange compared to Magneplanars. Plus the 8-inch driver extends the bass nicely. Well done Bruce... | |
| 1990 Radio Shack catalog I bought my first DVD player at Radio Shack! That would be in the middle 2000's. | |
| How cheap can you go and still be happy with the sound? My first really good HiFi system limited by my budget back in 1977 was a Marantz 2270 receiver ($389 new), an Empire 698 TT ($375 new), MicroAcoustics 2002E cartridge ($100 new) and Infinity Monitor 1A speakers ($450 store demo’s). A very enjoyabl... | |

| how many own Belles Virtuoso amp and preamp? and what's your experience? I have two Belles amps from the 80's: a 50 watt and a 150 watt. Excellent build and sound quality! I believe that David Belles around that time also built amps for OCM. | |
| Power cable for Ferrum Hypsos @steakster : unlike you I am not an engineering/science denier. Go back listening to your fuse collection. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier ASR did a test where a highly distorted AC voltage (which would never be found in any home AC line) was connected to the AC input of an Audio Precision 555 distortion analyser. The AP 555 performed flawlessly! Science again disproves an irrational... | |
| Rod Stewart - Every Picture Tells A Story That's a good engineered recording! Rod's first two recordings (The Rod Stewart Album and Gasoline Alley) are also recommended listening. | |
| Vibration Control Your head and particularly your teeth vibrate. Why not wear wrestler's protective headgear and plastic mouthpiece? Wouldn't you then hear more minute musical details? | |
| Vibration Control Hearsay belief not scientifically validated. | |
| JBL L-200T3 original owner Cones don't deteriorate from storage. Foam surrounds can and do. | |
| Wilson Sabrina X ... oh my God! and Jadis... or? Don't sell the Goldmund amp until you use it for awhile with the Sabrina's. You might find it perfectly satisfying! | |
| wandering azimuth on Well Tempered Table Another bad arm design. Free to move in all planes. Sell the turntable because you can't change the arm. Get a turntable with a proper four-point gimbel arm. | |
| Half-Speed Masters - are they worth double dipping? Are those made from digital files? If so, you might just as well buy the CD's. | |
| Dual 505-4 or Thorens TD280 Mk IV? Right now on eBay there is a Dual 505 - 3 with an Ortofon Super OM 20 cartridge for $200 and free shipping from a seller in Philadelphia. I'd buy that one instead of the two you list above. |
