I am new to this website. However, I have heard some good things about it. I am looking foward to some lively debate about most things audio, and even some political.
A little about myself. I am an audiophile who is into 2 channel audio. I have a some what modest system built around solid state electronics. I have two source components, a DVD player, that I am presently using as a CD player until I have the funds to purchase a quality CD player, and a Rega P3 turntable with Shure phono cartridge. Yes, I do preferr the sound of LP's to that of CD's. However, I do not believe that LP's sound better than CD's per se, just different.
Here are some of my other beliefs that may cause tension with other members. I do believe in certain circumstances that interconnects/speaker cables can make an audible difference to the sound of a system. I myself use Nordost Blue Heaven interconnects as well as Nordost Super Flatline speaker cables (bi-wired of course). I use an Audio Magic Extreme Silver power chord with my amp. I use the basic Monster Cable power line conditioning strip. I put my speakers on spikes, they sit on a carpeted floor. I use Maple Shade Iso Blocks, as well as a solid surface slab under both my turn table and DVD player. I do believe ABX testing serves a useful purpose, however, I do not think you can completely disregard subjectivity/psychology when discussing audio products; hell, most purchases and products of any kind for that matter. I do not believe in the Iraq war, never have never will. I do not respect Geaorge W. Bush as a president; nor do I respect most of his administration. I think thats enough!
Oh yeah, I just recieved an Apple IPod as a gift, and so far I have to say I quite like it.
