| Anyone use CD tweaks I'm game. I actually found that I have some AQ "Laserguide", which is primarily a silicone base...I can't hear a darn bit of difference...Ha! I like the idea of adding some weight on the player - it's immediate; don't have to wait for a mail order... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... The Lagavulin 16 is very good, but a little too smokey at times for me. I keep comming back to the Glenlivet 18 yr. Hoppy beer lovers, have you tried Flying Dog's Double IPA yet - similar to the Dogfish Head 90 Minute (only better!) | |
| Steven Stills, "Stills Alone" Tree Top Flyer has been one of my reference songs for many years. I have the CD version of Stills Alone and it's quite good for redbook. | |
| Has anyone lost their best friend? It makes me sad just thinking about your loss. My little buddy sits with me and listens to music almost every night. You will never forget your friend, but it is okay love another and to allow them to love you back. As you read this, there is a wo... | |
| Why are all the Virtual Systems mega-assaults now? We, mostly men, look at things we can't have all the time. It's in our nature - do I need to explain!? I for one really enjoy looking at the all-out-assault systems. We all have the same compulsive obsessions with the equipment. Ill bet Im not t... | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? I spoke of this song in a different thread...on the Stereophile Test CD 2 (from '92): track no. 7, "Ave Maria" - the famous Schubert piece performed flawlessly by a solo violinist accompanied by a chamber organ - recorded by Stereophile in a churc... | |
| HDCD playback Therefore in order to appreciate the advantages of HDCD encoding one does need a compatible player. Do these players that incorporate HDCD decoders necessarily list this feature? In other words, if my player doesn't list HDCD as a feature, it is l... | |
| odyssey stratos I enjoyed the Sequel II's for many years. They did so many things right in the midrange - very open and detailed - as you know. I ended up using a sub with satisfying results. I'm not sure a change of amps will get you the extended bass that you'r... | |
| Suggestions For Classical & Symphonic CDs Thanks Calbrs03. Jhold, I went ahead and picked up Part's Alina during lunch today. The oh-so brief samples that I heard were compelling.Thanks to all.Ben | |
| Suggestions For Classical & Symphonic CDs I picked up a nice compilation CD featuring many of the aforementioned performances and a Sarah Chang release - Vivaldi's The Four Seasons. I'm going to purchase some more disks over lunch today. I love the large sweeping movements in some of the ... | |
| Suggestions For Classical & Symphonic CDs This is helpful. Thank you all. I haven't had a chance to pick up anything yet. Hopefully, I can find time tomorrow between the kids' soccer games, softball practice and the yard work I've been "postponing." After last night, I have something to r... | |
| Suggestions For Classical & Symphonic CDs Thanks for the suggestions. I have always appreciated certain types of orchestral music. I love a hauntingly beautiful violin solo - something so beautiful and touching that it truly moves you. I'm not sure a can get into a lot of brass. There's a... | |
| Considering Krell Resolution 2 - Thoughts helpful Thanks Flav.I'm not in the position to upgrade the amp/system. The speakers alone present me with a significant challenge in wife negotiations. If I'm not mistaken, $4,000 is a pretty good deal on the speakers and with a fair trade on the B&Ws... | |
| Reccomendations for 802D's? Real Beer and Audio Gear. Now theres a great hobby (good tagline too). You lovers of the Dogfish obviously appreciate the American hop; much more flavorful than the European variety.I have some great recommendations, but I guess thats for anothe... | |
| USB DAC balanced or unbalanced inputs? Your DAC would require both normal and inverted phase RCA outputs (0 / 180 degrees). You would then need a special balanced interconnect that is terminated at one end with XLR, while the other end will have (4) RCA type connectors. In a balanced s... |
