| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Doug, I never do it that way. I usually look up new threads in "New Today" or "Recent Discourse". To see what people have responded to my banter and very occasional rants, I go to "My Threads". BTW, I still don't think that Audiogon is set up with... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. Are you saying I am a contrarian? | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. I beg to differ. | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Mr. Zaikesman, your contention that the issue with these two analogue front-ends sounding the same to the original poster being put to the test by suggesting "the next step is to isolate all the independent variables" is entirely laudable. I simpl... | |

| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. ... and of density in the materials used is required. Trial and error is called for. Diffraction on the wall behind the listening position is way better than absorption. (seems this portion was missing from my initial post, not that it matters, but) | |
| Details, details. That, my friend, is a typo. They show their ugly head once in a while. Saw one the other day where a McIntosh amp was making a "poping" sound. Being Catholic, I had to report it to the Vatican. Mr. CFB, where have you been? Still as prickly as eve... | |
| Is a cable cooker worth it? Get a Panasonic rice cooker! I have had one for years, does a great job. Great rice, accompanying, let's say, shrimp with black bean sauce is way better than the delusional rewards of nonsensical tweaks. I will share my shrimp recipe if you want. ... | |
| Room Treatments added, with negative effects.. The first thing that came to my mind was to remove the foam from behind the listening position and move it behind the speakers in order to enhance the LEDE aspect. The suggestion of trying to reduce the sidewall reflections by placing them there i... | |
| Good Sounding Inexpensive Phono Preamp? I have the Sumiko. Works great, no problem. I'll throw this in for good measure: they all sound the same! | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? TWL, your quick count is wrong. Are you serious when you think that people posting on this site are representative of audiophiles? Regarding the analog tt, you sort of remind me of the Monty Python skit with the parrot as dead as a doornail at the... | |
| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? Maybe because there has not been any progress in matters of turntables in the last twenty years?Expectations is what this is all about. To be a true audiophile you have to believe that the slightest change will produce HUGE differences. I think th... | |
| Who designs casework for audio components? At Edge, someone with no training and worst yet, no taste. Judging from such brands as CJ, Pass Labs, Manley and many others too numerous to mention by name, most are refuges from Chrysler. | |

| New arm recommendations? Nothing wrong with the RB-300. Looks a bit rough, but does the job. You can get an RB-600 for $400. Some would probably recommend a modded Rega RB-250.If you use your imagination, any decent arm you install will satisfy you. Then you can gain the ... |
