| Speakers for Audio Research VT100MK2 Vandersteen Quattros are nice with AR amps too. The Wood Quatrros are even nicer.Green Mountain Audio speakers work well with ARCs too. That's what I use with my VSi60. My friend uses Thiels (3.7s?) with his ARC (VS60), and it's very similar to my... | |
| Review: Shunyata Hydra 2 AC filter My listening session on the stereo was cut short by a chatty woman who is frequently in my house. During this brief trial, it was difficult to remember exactly how anything sounded after unplugging the amp, reconnecting it to a different power sou... | |
| Review: Shunyata Hydra 2 AC filter UPDATE: Although I won't reach 200 hours burn-in time until Monday, I am at the five-day mark and thought I'd do a little experiment. I used the Hydra 2 to power my Fender Hot Rod DeVille 410 and damned if there wasn't a difference! It wasn't nece... | |
| Review: Shunyata Hydra 2 AC filter Will do, roscoeiii. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Review: Shunyata Hydra 2 AC filter So far, the air filter sounds terrific! ;-) | |
| O.K. I'm Old/no Techie....how do I Stl114_NJ, you might try to make a DVD-A instead of copying the FLAC files. If you're using a Mac, there's a program called Burn that is free and can turn your high resolution files into a DVD-A. That way your Oppo won't have to try to interpret F... | |
| O.K. I'm Old/no Techie....how do I Some DACs or players like the Oppo 95 allow you to play high rez FLAC from a USB thumb drive. This seems like a good solution for those of us who don't want to hook up a laptop to our stereos.Also you can burn DVD-As from high rez files, although ... | |
| What time do you wear? Does anyone have a Ball watch? I saw some at a local store and was impressed. They have unique but still tasteful designs and are relatively inexpensive. | |
| What time do you wear? Yikes, a $2000 maintenance. I was pissed when my Baume & Mercier "required" a $400 brush up. | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs Thanks for the tips, MikeC. I look forward to listening to Yellow Brick Road. I'm not optimistic though. As I've mentioned in other posts, SACD just never seems to work well in my system. DVD-A works wonderfully. (You mentioned Gaucho, that's prob... | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs I listened to the Who's Next SHM-SACD today. I wish I could say I was impressed, but I'd swear my CD version sounds better. It's too bad; I had high hopes for the SACD. I compared it with the CD on two different players and even with the Classic R... | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs Mjcovher,Source material is always key, isn't it? I've always assumed Cream's Wheels of Fire was recorded poorly in the studio and live so there will never be a good copy of it. (Judging by my cassette copy anyway - it's bad even for a cassette.)S... | |
| SHM Universal Japan SACDs I just ordered Yellow Brick Road and Who's Next. Will let everyone know if they're worthwhile. | |
| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... I have to admit I like Revolution 9, in small doses, with several years between attempts!I also have to agree with "Immigrant Song"; it doesn't really fit on Led Zeppelin III.BTW, I love these bands, Fujindemon. That doesn't mean I think they're p... | |
| Terrible/Inappopriate songs ... "Within You Without You" is my favorite song from Sgt Pepper! (Also I think it fits just fine.)Out-of-place songs to me are "Blues for Allah" on the Dead's, well, "Blues for Allah" album, "The Lemon Song" on Led Zeppelin II, "My Wife" from Who's N... |
