| Favorite Romantic Female Vocal Song(s)? Lots of good suggestions here. I'd like to add Emmylou Harris, "Wrecking Ball". Also since it's almost Christmas, how about that Eartha Kitt song to Santa. And, Marilyn was the definition of romantic singing "Happy Birthday" to JFK. | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Excellent philosophy Jacks. The forum is about the exchange of ideas, and knowledge. That represents a give and take relationship to me. The goal is that we all become richer, in terms of being audiophiles. One thing about bullies, they are actual... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables Carl, thanks for the information on the awg of the Black Pearl. I appreciate it. I remember seeing the price being $50000, but I accept your recollection of the price. Perhaps, I will dig deeper, but the subject is more or less irrelevant to me, a... | |
| Best reviewers Can't stomach Michael Fremer more often than not. Favorites are Dick Olsher, Corey Greenberg, Wes Phillips, and Sam Tellig. Wish Sam was a bit more on point. Sometimes his reviews are as scattered as the fall leaves, but like(sometimes love) his s... | |
| Tube output stage CD player ? You are 100% right about them being based on Magnavoxes. Thanks for the information! It's been a while since I have been around that stuff. Thanks for bringing me back | |
| Tube output stage CD player ? Hey Rcprince! No, I am sorry, but I never came across those. I remember hearing players from Carver, Dynaco, Jolida, and those that were "modded" to use tubes like the Ah! Tjoeb is today. Were those hatchet jobs(just a figure of speech) Denon(or J... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers Amen, Fpeel. Synergy is THE important factor in a system. Synergy is also subjective. It means the equipment fits together in a synergistic way, to ONE's own ears. Others may think the sound is terrible... And synergy is achieved, it is not a func... | |
| Tube output stage CD player ? A cd output in a tube player can sometimes be advantageous. If you do not have any other glassware in your system, it is one way to go about getting the sound of tubes(albeit not the preferred way). Or if your system sounds a bit harsh, tubes can ... | |
| Percentage to spend on Amp and Speakers Yo G13! How've you been? Started in this hobby when I was 8(my dad gave me a junk reciever - may have even had a built in 8 track?!? and some LOUSY speakers), and still don't think I have gotten it right. Not too far away now though. That is, at l... | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables From what I read of a copper speaker cable from Stealth Audio, it was 4 gauge. Maybe even for each conductor. See it here often, on auction. Seems to never meet the reserve price, so no one gets to buy. Maybe doesn't compare with the one VantageAu... | |
| Tweeter recommendation close to MDT33 By the way Carl, if you need that article I could fax it to you. I have it right in front of me. Despite our disagreement, the content of the article is quite educational. A lot of insight into their philosophy(but a bit overboard on the praise). ... | |
| Tweeter recommendation close to MDT33 Thank you for chiming in Chipster. And you are correct. The vast majority of Morels you see of this model are paper. Perhaps that is why Carl takes this position. But, different designers have different preferences and reasons for doing what they ... | |
| Tweeter recommendation close to MDT33 Carl, the October 1997 Stereophile does say that the driver used in the Eggleston is polypropylene. In several places, actually. And in the first paragraph of page 193 Bill Eggleston is quoted directly, "It's a custom version of a 6" polypropylene... | |
| HomeGrown Audio Impressions Kbuzz, have compared the noise coming through your system with the tuner selected and the volume all the way down between the HomeGrown Audio and your reference? Is the HomeGrown worse? Thank you. | |
| Who R U? BenCampbell, what area of chemistry do you work in? Nice to have some brothers on the site. Have to say I moved to IT at the end of last year. Spent at least half of my time programming the equipment to run my experiments, create/update spreadshee... |
