  1. I'd probably put in 2 circuits, but I'd start with everything plugged into 1. Have the other available in case you find you need to isolate something.
  2. They're not as good but I prefer them.
  3. A dedicated circuit will cost you less than a good power conditioner.
  4. Have you heard both? I have
  5. No, duet cable, not esw10 cable. Duet cable is a big help, if for nothing more than decluttering. Blue Jeans Cables makes a duet cable, too I believe.
  6. The brain is designed to filter out noise. There are lots of examples of how this works.
  7. it certainly was. Tho it's a bit unusual as balanced m3s go
  8. It's not about lofi, it's about the music being about dropping focus and not paying attention to the details
  9. maceo's a lot of fun, I saw him opening for mule new years a few years ago
  10. Wouldn't be the first time you didn't get something like that on the internet dusty The fuzz was definitely about musicality. About the magic in the music that some gear conveys better than others. Fuzz is why I like the esw9s more than the esw10s, for example.
  11. makes sense, the esw10 is worlds better than the hd600
  12. not at all. Fuzz is musicality.
  13. Decided not to use them as an incentive for beeleemeet, I see
  14. Central Indiana has the advantage of not being convenient to anywhere, too
  15. Your logic, like your dac, is broken

  17. I'm perfectly ok with sine waves for music reproduction. I'm not going to get into dac design, so I'm going to leave it at that. I believe that there's nothing inherently wrong with digital, and I've had enough experience that I'm comfortable leaving it there. If you want to stick with just analog, be my guest, I won't try and disuade you of that notion.

  19. I wasn't criticizing records for mastering decisions, I was saying it was a benefit. That's why I have a turntable.
  20. Dynamic range and bass resolution on cds is great, it's the mastering that's the problem. And I don't call 22khz rolled off. Real music reproduction is well within the capabilities of lp and cd. It's just the decisions made at recording and mastering time that make the difference. There's not a technical reason why lps sound better, it's just that the limitations of typical gear encouraged better behavior in the production of the recordings.
  21. Especially since most LP mastering was done to prevent said supposed good stuff from getting in there . The best LP masters kept dynamic range to a reasonable level and had low and high pass filtering.
  22. it depends on if you consider higher crosstalk and worse dynamic range to be less important than the ability to reproduce frequencies only bats can hear.
  23. happy barfday
  24. Don't buy the one that only plays 70% of cds. That's a broken player . Or buy it and replace the transport.
  25. Not really. Both should roll off well outside the range of adult hearing, but CD is technically more capable. The problem with most cds and the benefits to lps is almost entirely in the mastering.
