| Stevie Ray Vaughan That was said, but it wasn't even remotely true. SRV did his best, most inspired playing while drinking and coked up, playing in Texas bars. By the time he was sober he was playing big arenas, not taking chances and pushing the boundaries like he ... | |
| Nakamichi ZX-7 Cassette Deck - - - Dubbing Problem I can't say what is causing that issue, but Nak decks are complicated devices, a ZX-7 is pretty old, and yours needs a professional calibration, at the very least. send it to Willy Hermann. | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? NFB is a subtractive process, although as proved by GE long ago, it increases the perceived odd order harmonic distortion. NFB removes some of the signal, and not in real time, either,due to propagation delay within the amp. Although I prefer to t... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? it's adjustable on my amp (Mesa Baron,) so it is easy to hear the differences. I have ears, so I do not really care about the technical rationale. Some music sounds better with a little NFB (primarily studio produced rock), but most music sounds b... | |
| Triode mode vs pento mode better bass w pentode, possibly with some hardness; lower power but more spacious sound with triode. with my amp, the larger scale works (e.g. symphonies) and rock usually sound better with some pentode dialed in; chamber music or small acoustic g... | |
| Hello - Need Help Please advice: shorter, more succinct posts. | |
| Difference in quality in products made in China? that must be why Samick guitars are not very good. | |
| Hum decreases with tonearm position. Huh? Marakanetz is entirely correct. I made a plate for the top of my Rega P3 from Mu-metal, which stopped the hum, but that was a lot of effort. getting a different table is the better solution. | |
| Pass Int-150 or Int-30A for PMC Speakers? I use all tubes with Fb1i Signatures, which seems to work nicely. Then again, I flat out prefer tubes, even though they are occaionally troublesome (but less so than a wife, ime.) Are you sure you will be happy w/ SS sound? What SS have you heard ... | |
| Who needs drugs when you've got music? Wolf, perhaps you are exagerating for effect. I've heard drug-fueled improvisations that would not have happened otherwise. Better than straight? Very rarely, and never, really, if clean, error-free playing is what you're after. But sometimes some... | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? Roscoe, agreed. | |
| Can a $3K table be among the best out there? A $3K table is among the "best" in the same sense that a Honda Civic is among the "best" cars. | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion Kusina, you might try them, but I suspect you will need the fully programmable model. Each of my ears require a different eq curve. The best audiologists have measurement capabilities inside the ear, for more accurate programming. I think in Texas... | |
| Hearing Aid Confusion recprince, that's amazing, where do you live? did you have insurance coverage or some special deal? | |
| Took my Levinson amp in for repair I sympathize, but you would have to prove negligence on their part, to prevail. Expensive to prove in court - requires not just an attorney, but also an expert witness is usually required to prove the applicable standard of care. Not at all clear ... |
