| beethoven 9th..which recording I have two CD versions: The Royal Philharmonic Orch., Rene Leibowitz conducting. It’s on the Chesky label and is ADD. The recording was made in mid. 1961 and remastered in 1990. There is a minor tape hiss but it is an outstanding performance. The ... | |
| Out of Control I can't add a thing to what's been written! I totally agree. | |
| Speaker Fetish I am gald to find I am not alone. I need a larger house for all the old equipment I never sell. Has anyone else tried to get a huge pair of Electostatic speakers in to a closet? The walls will never look the same..lol. My wife is just as bad as me... | |
| Anyone heard "O Brother Where Art Thou? After reading these post this morning I went out and got the disc today. I love it! The first track is a little weird. I have not seen the movie, so it took a few seconds to figure out what they were beating on..lol A few week ago I picked up an o... | |
| Grouding for dedicatied lines? My best advise, Hire a Licensed Electrical Contractor and make use He or She pulls a permit for the Job from your local Building Dept. This will cover your ass with your insurance company if some jerk burns down your house. | |
| Multi channel much better than stereo? Tireguy, I agree with you. I'll hate myself in the morning. I have a seperate mid-fi video system in my family room and the DTS DVD of the Eagles Hell Freezes Over concert sound pretty dam good. I for one am not looking forward to the possibility ... | |
| Pink Floyd - The Wall Sony 2000 Bjack, I agree the DS remasters are outstanding. I have Meddle and DSOM on MoFi and the 1994 remasters. The MoFi disks are muddy. The 94's are clear, clean and have twice the detail. A big plus for me was the remastering of Pink Floyds Obscured by... | |

| Most overpriced audio component made I am a Building Inspector, so I have unique knowledge. At the same time I am an Audiophile, I do understand the need for the ?Best?. I did put in a ?Dedicated 20 amp circuit? for my amp. I did it because my amp?s Owner Manual recommends it. When I... | |
| Most overpriced audio component made For me it’s Power Cords. A person pays $200 for the latest and greatest, then plugs it into a $1.95 receptacle/wall outlet which in turn is connected to 10 other outlets/devices and then runs 50 feet back to the Service Panel. The wiring in most c... | |

| Help: Re tubing Jolida JD 1000 Thanks for the response Al. I think the factory tubes are Chinese, they are unmarked. What I would like to achieve after re-tubing is greater dramatics, if possible. The mid?s appear to be muddy and lack punch. The bottom end is at present is fine... | |
| X-10D tube buffer to tame 9000ES bright? I use the device coupled with a 11 year old magnavox cd player. It has smoothed out all the rough edges and added the missing detail. I have used it with a very cheap magnavox DVD player and loved it. I have found the cheaper the player the better... | |
| Krell versus Levinson experience I was at CES in Vegas last month. The ML and Krell booths were in the main convention hall with ALL the mid-fi gear. Most of the other High End companies were miles away at the Alexis Park Hotel. That fact alone makes a person wonder. |
