    A sad day in heavy metal music

    I wish that I were joking about a farewell tour. I saw on the Crue website that there is talk of their final tour being with Ozzfest next year. That'll be one hell of a show if that is true...

    A sad day in heavy metal music

    On my way home frome work tonight, the DJ on the radio said something that just totally ruined my day. Motley Crue, the band that REALLY got me into rock, is planning their "farewell" tour. I heard that and it felt as though someone kicked me in the gut. All four of the original members will be...

    which cdp to get?

    I recently purchased a used Newcastle 980 from an Audiogon member for a starter system for my son. I got curious and tried it with my MG Head OTL. It is a nice match for the Head and Sennheiser 600's. I am looking for one for myself now. I paid $225 for it used and don't hardly think that at...

    Sherwood Newcastle 980 CDP

    Hey Wasif, can you tell me who to contact about the mods on this Newcastle CDP??? My Sennheiser 600's came today while I was at work, I couldn't wait to get home and try them out. The Newcastle, MG Head OTL, and 600's are a great combination. Blazter, you'll get no grief from me about buying...

    Sherwood Newcastle 980 CDP

    I just spoke to my wife on the phone and she told me that my Sennheiser 600's came in the mail today. I can't wait to get home and try out the Newcastle with my MG Head and the 600's.

    Sherwood Newcastle 980 CDP

    I just recently purchased a Newcastle 980 CDP for a starter hifi system for my son. It's a wonderful CDP for the price I paid, $225 used on Audiogon. This unit has an amazing amount of features for it's price point, digital inputs and outputs(toslink &coaxial), fixed and variable outputs...

    Do power cords have their own sonic signature?

    I agree with having developed listening skills but no sytem weaknesses is pretty subjective. What one person feels is a weakness in hifi, is a strength to another. I've only been into high-end home audio for about 3 years now and have what I consider to be a descent system. What you need to take...

    Do power cords have their own sonic signature?

    Let me start off by saying that I have no direct ties to the company that I am about to sing the praises of. I have however, spoken to the owner of the company, who also builds each cable himself, several times. I heard about this guy through a mutual friend and am now an ower of a couple of his...

    Senn. HD-535

    I have a pair of Senn. hd-535 headphones and have a problem. It started with the right side cutting in and out, I figured maybe the baby got a hold of them and damaged the cable. So, I called Sennheiser up and ordered a new cable. The new cable does the same thing. I think I have a problem with...

    How can I improve my system?

    I would suggest upgrading your IC and go from there. I prefer to use hybrid cables (copper silver mix). I use Straightwire Crescendos for my entire system, including my MG Head OTL. I have also upgraded all of my power cables to Virtual Image and Ensemble Megaflux. The Straightwire Crescendo's...

    WBT Speaker Connections

    I'm very sure that you would be pleased with the WBT 0660 spades. I too, use them on my Kimber Selects (3035's). The ONLY problem I have ever seen with these connectors is that the two halves can split apart. I never would have thought of it, until a friend of mine told me that his had done it...

    Home Theater help!

    Check out the cinema package at www.romanaudio.com . I bought my wife this package for christmas and she LOVES it. It is all priced out to where you can buy the entire package or just a center channel, front mains, sub, whatever. And if you're not careful, that sub can run you out of the house!!!

    question about selling

    I just upgraded my speaker cables and was wondering if I was allowed to list them here?

    about cables

    If ignorance truly is bliss, ALL them boys are on cloud nine. I'll NOT listen without MY Crescendos!!!!! Not to mention my $700 power cables. That entire thread just sounds like the MANY voices of inexperience. In the evolution of audio, I would venture to say that those boys are at the bottom...

    Tweaks

    I use alot of equipment by Symposium (rollerblocks, ultra platforms, and sveltes). I got an Ultra platform first and placed it under my CDP ( California Audio Labs CL-15), it made an INSTANT difference. I later place rollerblock between the Ultra and my CDP and noticed a little less haze on the...
