...I recommend you take notes as you proceed.Also you might consider running specialty AC cable (not Romex), to wit this item from JPS Labs:Power AC In-Wall CableThe first high-end power cable for home or professional dedicated AC wiring. Dramatic im...

Noise on the mains line, external electromagnetics in the air, and galvanics in the ground. Who's to know what's going on, and how?clark...

...there is a third: The two versions are in opposite polarities, meaning that one will sound better on his (or anyone's) fixed-polarity system. And no telling which!This is quite apart from any possible problems (and they are rife) in conversion....

Face it, there's more life in live music.LPs and CDs that bring that stuff to us are also superior.clark...

...but I don't hold out much hope. Especially with the mod meters! You might get most everything in a pair of packages tho'. But you should also look for preamp-out RCAs.By the way, last time I was there you had a JVC projector too...clarkPS Totally ...

Interesting discussion, guys. My own view on HT opera is simple: While the productions can often be extraordinary (the Barcelona Ring for instance) the singing can truly suck. For Wagner one must go back to the brilliant Keilberth and Krauss Bayreuth...

Elsewhere I read that Romy has put the Golovanov Rach 2 onto his server. I recommend that everyone download it... now!The BSO's performance last night was thoroughly enjoyable, but not exactly a keeper.What he omitted was how fine the Paganini Rhapso...

The sales guy was insisted about the super-isolation quality of adeptResponse but it is all BS, he did not understand what he was talking about.
You are arguing that the unit can't be much good because the sales guy was talking like... a s...

I used to top-list the van Beinum, then I demoted it. Guess I'll have to go back now... Also, I have it on an old LP so maybe the remastering brings out more. And I am just assuming it's the '55.I'll have to give a listen to the Wand... always though...

The moon makes things different for me too, on a personal level. No denying it. Fortunately, possibly because the moon is my birthsign, the full moon is my friend.But I have not yet assessed its effects on hifi sound. Could be!So how could I separate...

Quite agree. I have found that most guys (customer guys anyway) are obsessed with a single element -- most usually a piece of gear -- that they imagine (not always falsely) will cure their ills or at any rate afford a terrific improvement. Good luck ...

Interesting. While I'm not going to compile one myself, certainly Schubert would be high up on my own list.As for older people's changing tastes... I am told on good authority that as wine lovers grow into their golden years they tend to go for stron...

This reminds me. Back in the days, twenty years ago, when we were experimenting with small portable players like the 3400 -- we found they sounded best with a quality battery shunted with capacitors. We used oil types. The results were better than al...

"It is way beyond the sophomoric solutions like... AC polarity."From that remark one may deduce that the writer has already tried this solution and found it wanting, or has not tried it but dismisses it out of hand, or doesn't know what he's talking...

Audio equipment can be enormously sensitive to AC polarity. I do not mean correct "hot" and "neutral" in the outlet, rather which way it enters your electronics. (I and others have tried for decades to alert the world.) Worst, there is no standard an...

While one has some quibbles with Romy's post, and must also ignore his
sometimes bilious tone, the principal thesis is grand indeed: The
process that led to a playback industry where a $50 tabletop (in my case
a fine $180 Sony "minisystem") sou...

That's the best in-six-words-or-less description of any composer I've ever read. Thanks!clark...

Actually it may be! At that time, and to some degree presently, the VPO had perhaps 250 members who played on a rotating basis; in fact a person didn't even have to attend the rehearsal to play in a concert. Those who weren't playing the VPO formed t...

Great story... and analogy.Happy to see you have found Hr. Andreae. His Bruckner set is as good as it will ever get (as a set by one conductor) and moreover represents an inheritance of decades of original Bruckner performance, although it was made l...

I think this relates to the diminishing popularity of baseball. Yes. Baseball is "America's National Pastime"... and called that for good reason. The operative word is "pastime". Baseball properly speaking is not a sport (nor is cricket for that matt...

I've been following this sometimes acrimonious controversy from afar -- Florida, in fact. But I've not read everything. Now I have a suggestion re: solar. I have an ad for discount solar panels from http://www.harborfreight.com/ where they offer a 45...

Wiki: In criminal law, rape is an assault by a person involving sexual intercourse with another person without that person's consent. Outside of law, the term is often used interchangeably with sexual assault,[1][2][3] a closely related (but in most ...
