| Are the online zines killing print mags in audio? 6moons has done alright by me. I've bought Zu and Red Wine on Srajan's recommendation and in the process become acquainted with two very good companies and their excellent products. The print mags never did that for me. They seem always to be help... | |
| Retail Music Stores Gone Will everybody dump their CDs at thrift stores, etc. when downloads take over the market? That's what happened to LPs when the CD took over. We could be in for a windfall opportunity one of these days if any of us are still playing CDs and we like... | |
| TVC + Altmann amp? Rocketiii - I want to congratulate you for being adventurous. I'm sure you will be glad you took this step. It gets tiresome reading about the same old tired brand names month after month in the publications and in these discussions. In my opinion... | |
| Zu Druid questions Good suggestion,Tvad. I think I read somewhere (6moons?)that Zu has started to break-in all of their speakers prior to shipment. Best to confirm that with Sean or Adam rather than just believing me.And by the way, everybody, what's wrong with buyi... | |
| Zu Druid questions F1audio made my point much better than I did.If you like the speaker or vegetable or movie, it doesn't really matter what the gauges, meters, formulae or critics say.All that counts is that you are enjoying yourself. The Absolute Sound paradigm ha... | |
| Zu Druid questions Sorry, guys. I didn't mean to attack anybody but time and again I have seen these simple requests turned into engineering dialogues which completely abandon the original poster. I suppose if he were to come on board and request clarification this ... | |
| Clamp or weight for Technics Direct Drive? I use a Michell clamp on my SP-10 MK II which has a thick mat. There is plenty of grip. Perhaps I have a longer spindle. It fits plenty tight. | |
| Zu Druid questions Duke,Please take note that people ate before they began tinkering with agriculture. I'm not sure my correction is any more pertinient than your analogy attempt but I felt like pointing out that discrepancy.Now, as for science, I am well aware that... | |
| Zu Druid questions What is the value of all this speculation about whether of not the Druid design should work? It clearly works for a lot of people. "Science Says" is a fun game for awhile for a certain sort of person but the proof is in the listening. I have no ex... | |
| Zu Druid questions Listening before you buy is unnecessary advice with the Druids except when you buy used. New Druids are only available from the Zu factory and they automatically provide you with a 60 day return option. If you don't like them, you will only have s... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Wishful thinking. Most people don't get it and don't care to. That epiphany you imagine that opens everyone's eyes forever to the wonderfulness of high end audio is fanciful at best. Over the course of thirty years I demonstrated high end audio to... | |
| good old tuners going obsolete Armstrod - I can't add to the argument about when or if this will happen but if it does, the tuners will only go silent, not dark. | |
| TVC + Altmann amp? Because the Sig 30 has only one input, I use a Purest Audio Design passive pre with 4 inputs as an input switcher. After I read Vinnie's advice, I bypassed the switcher and ran straight into the Sig. Big difference in terms of clarity and energy i... | |
| TVC + Altmann amp? You'll have to use an active preamp. Vinnie Rossi of Red Wine Audio says it is inadvisable to use two passive volume controls in series. Incidentally, I had the loan of an Altmann Attraction DAC for about a week. Charles Altmann seems to know what... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? The Ipod is headed in the wrong direction. High end audio will flourish again when labor unions return to power and pot is legalized, or when hell freezes over, whichever comes first. |
