| Pros/Cons of Same Length Speaker Cables? Another consideration, even if you ignore the possibility of performance loss, is resale. More people than not, expect that a pair of interconnects or speaker cables will be a matched length. Personally, I have not found a little extra wire coiled... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? In response to the posting from 3141510, Now I am really confused. I try to address your issues, and you make no sense at all. As far as Miles Davis, not only do I admire him, I purchased (probably) every recording he ever made. However, concernin... | |
| VAC amps-grainy ? The VAC is a very good sounding amp, and if you already have NOS tubes, I would look elsewhere for the problem. The Wavac amps are better than the VAC, as your dealer suggests. The real issue is whether something else in your audio chain needs imp... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? To 3141510, I'm not sure I understand what your posting means. I will try to address your comments, and apologize if I am wrong. Some rare LP titles that are important to me cost over $150.00. There are many others that were less than $10.00. Last... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! That is a wonderful story. Only a conductor as great a Karajan would have enough sway with the Dutch to make such a demand. | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? David. Thanks to you from both myself, and my son. We listen together fairly often. He is only 14 years of age, so I often have trouble finding the music of his generation. I will look for Pink Floyd, I have only one copy of "The Wall," but I thin... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! Megasam, You could also add that with CD, you can enjoy the entire performance, without interruption. In that sense, CD can present the performance as you would enjoy it live, where LP requires a break to turn over or even change discs. For those ... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! Kurtisjeffers, the posting does say, (I quote) "Some of the RCA remasters from late 1950s are better than any recordings made today! Any other comments on this subject.......". I think Carl did just that. The recording he is speaking of is from th... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? I personally try to not be hostile about LP. I think the main aggravation for me is the fact that primarily, it is all but dead. The main music companies have all but quit producing vinyl (Yes, the new Neil Young is great and Santana's album too) ... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? David99, I like you, and your enthusiasm for the format that I enjoy the most. However, Jmazur@home.com, is looking for new technology and is hoping that his disappointment can be solved with a suggestion. Who can blame him for wanting the sound o... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? In response to Jmazur@home.com, I don't think Carl was assassinating your character (if that is what you meant). It looked like an attempt to guide you in a different direction. You opened this post with what looked like a legitimate complaint, an... | |
| Wolcott amps The best tube amps? The promise has been made for shipment this coming week. It is hard to believe I will finally get my new Wolcott Amps. I look at my first posting here on this subject, on Jan 27th, and realize I have been waiting a long time for completion of thes... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? In response to Rfenol@notes.teradyne.com, there is nothing wrong with your analog. The set up you have is nearly what I had one year ago. At that time I had a Basis Mk5 and Graham with Ruby 2. If you are not satisfied with that set up because of n... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? I posted earlier on 7-05, that I hoped SACD would be wonderful, and I really meant it. I did not post comments revealing that I have in fact heard the format, although not in my own system. The CES in Vegas had at least two rooms with SACD, becaus... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? I am sorry for Rfeneol@notes if he thinks surface noise is a problem for those of us that listen to vinyl. He must have experience with a low to mid fi quality source to make that comment. My Walker and IO combination is as quiet as my Sony 7700 a... |
