| can we measure noise on power lines? Thanks, Al and Hew. back to trial and error, I suppose.I've used a pair of Noisetrapper isolation transformers since the '90's (no longer made), and wondered if there was any way to determine if it's really necessary to seek further improvement. ... | |
| Jumpers Grover Huffman proposed silver jumpers to the tweeters on my 2-way PMC's, which he regarded as a superior solution to "bi-wire". Worked out great. I see no reason for the jumpers to be the same as the main speaker cables. | |
| Audio - Post Divorce By the third felony a defendant may be classified as an habitual criminal and faces life in prison. I've been divorced three times. My attorney friend says I'm an habitual. | |
| Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's? well put, Frogman.although, I think you are being a little generous. A trained professional singer, e.g. someone in a choir with a Master's in music performance, would not be distracted by off-pitch singers around her. | |
| Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's? Excuses, excuses. No, a mic touching a few strings would not throw a piano's approximately 230 strings out of tune. People even do things like that deliberately, it's called "prepared piano." No, a mic doesn't change pitch. No, a real profession... | |
| Audiophile pets and their names... Named our tricolor sheltie "Black Molly". She was speedy. | |
| Best for recording records? It's an enormous amount of work to digitize records (or anything else, like tapes.) If you think about the time involved to digitize even a fraction of your collection...even a couple of thousand records is several thousand hours of work. | |
| LG OLED Paul, thanks. You inspired me to order one, which is on the way. BestBuy wouldn't match the online price I found because it wasn't one of 5 or so major retailers they recognize, so I ordered one from the company in NJ and hope for the best.Subse... | |
| LG OLED Paul, how did you get that price? That tv is still $5999.98 on the Best Buy website, never saw it on sale below that. | |
| This is what the typical consumer group considers the 5 best turntables Title should have been, "Best Cheap Entry-Level Turntables" but would still have been somewhat inaccurate.Unfortunately, turntables at this level are mostly inferior to even a cheap cd player, so any purchaser will get the wrong impression. | |
| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? Be thankful, at least if you get some peace and quiet to listen once in a while. I once had a gf who suggested that we play golf together. She seemed to miss the point that we all do some things to get away. You want to go shopping for shoes w... | |
| Gene Simmons says the rock business is dead Kiss had to compensate for their pitiful musical content with all those distractions. | |
| Your 5 Fav Rock Concerts I wish I remembered my 5 favorites...My list of favorites would include shows by John Lee Hooker, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Grateful Dead, The Who (about 1972), and an all-star Ronnie Laine benefit in Dallas c. 1981. | |
| Vintage DACs. Do they hold up over time? I'm still using my Muse Model 2. I do wonder what it would take to better it, other than a better Muse. | |
| Dolby NR encoding - did it ever work Jon said it exactly right. ( I was a taper Deadhead too, and came to the same conclusion.) You just had to live with some hiss.When you played back a live concert recorded with Dolby, you would often play it back without the decoding. The highs we... |
