| Anyone compared Droplet to the Raysonic CD168? Mariusz, thank you for chiming in here with your thoughts. While I also have enough experience to comment on the sonic merits of the Droplet versus the Raysonic players, I feel it appropriate for me to stay out of that discussion.Just one correcti... | |
| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Rushton is 100% right - try getting your cables off the floor, and give it a chance. I have personally heard the effects of lifting a cable off the carpet exceed the differences between cables themselves.From an electrical standpoint, carpet serve... | |
| Eastern Electric Mini Max vs AE-3 DJH preamps Paul, I strongly agree.Though I import Opera Audio/Consonance equipment, I personally use an AES AE-3 DJH preamplifier in my system. It thoroughly outclasses anything I represent. It's a rich sounding preamplifier with a lot of dynamics. If there'... | |
| Very sad news Sorry to hear about Mike's passing.Thank you for initiating this thread, it is a very nice gesture. | |
| Gas or Charcoal John, how long does your propane weed burner take to get the coals all ready for cooking?I think I might have to invest in one of these, and I'll use it to kill some weeds while I'm at it... | |
| Older Cd Players vs. new ones I can definitely generalize about reliability of the newer players, Mrtennis.As someone who is the importer of a line of CD players, I know what the numbers are. For 2007, 75%+ of the players I brought in were defective in that the Sony transport ... | |
| Gas or Charcoal Xiekitchen, gas is not something to dismiss out of hand. Like anything else, you should base your decision on your priorities.For example, my wife wants to barbeque all the time, so at some point, I'll replace our gas grill with a new one, and use... | |
| Gas or Charcoal Marty, I normally use lump charcoal. It's easier to light than the normal briquets, tastes better, and so long as you don't skimp (as my wife tends to do), you get to use it a second time. In my experience, based on how long a bag lasts me, it als... | |
| Gas or Charcoal Charcoal for me, too. Had an "Aussie" until we replaced it this year with a Weber. Have a gas grill rusting away in the yard as well, it doesn't seem to compare.All tube system as well. | |
| Older Cd Players vs. new ones In my experience, newer ones sound better, but older ones are a thousand times more reliable. | |
| best speakers on AGON for about $500 If you can find a pair of Fried A/6, they would be extremely hard to beat. I don't know of too many currently produced sub $5000 loudspeakers that can beat them. | |
| Perreaux in North America As the importer/distributor of a line of gear from China, for what it's worth, I can personally lend some perspective into the trials and tribulations of this. Of course, there will be some advantages in dealing with a western minded country such ... | |
| A Few Audio Truths I've Learned? Mrjstark, "12. Find the Audiophile club in your town or city. Nothing is more helpfull then advice of fellow audiophils and access to gear that you never heard before."I'd like to change the wording from "Nothing is more helpfull..." to "Nothing i... | |
| Remembering Frank Betz A few years ago in the month of April, my friend, Bill Legall of Millersound called to tell me that Frank Betz had just left Soundex. This was a dealership with a full 1 page Stereophile ad, with one of their Porsches zooming by the humongous, bra... | |
| If money is not a problem Ohm Walsh A, rebuilt by Bill Legall of Millersound.Once you see its impedance match to the air, every other loudspeaker ever built looks broken in comparison.. |
