| Is SACD really this lousy? I have not heard SACD in my own system, and if it is really vastly superior to regular CD, that would be WONDERFUL! The remaining problem is for those of us that are over 20 years old. The library of CD music has taken over 25 years to be the wond... | |
| SL3 driven better w/ rogue or wolcott am The SET amps can deliver high current, even if they cannot deliver high watts. One speaker that depends on high current for sound pressure level is the Soundlab. Many reviewers listened to the Soundlab speakers at CES in Vegas in Jan, and had suff... | |
| Wolcott amps The best tube amps? I located the home page for Wolcott Audio: http://www.elan-gmk.com/wolcott/welcome.htm. Hanks e-mail address is also at this site, for those who prefer responding by e-mail rather than phone. | |
| Wolcott amps The best tube amps? Hank Wolcott may be reached at his office at 805-527-8842. (This is in California, Pacific Time Zone) He is available for the usual business hours and is very helpful in answering questions. I understand that he has a web site too, I will try to l... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! Madisonears absolutely has a swear word in his posting. The word was DIGITAL. If he thinks this is enlightenment, perhaps he also prefers fluorescent light to daylight. The modern fluorescent was advertised to be perfect light with long life (soun... | |
| Dream System. Spectral or Levinson. It is difficult to add to this posting, as the suggestions are superb. I especially agree with the comments on avoiding giving your audio dealer full control over this 80K system. You must give your heart felt and undivided attention as to what th... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! Sugarbrie, the comments you make are absolutely correct. That is even more reason to listen to the Classic Records reissues on LP. I have every 45 RPM that Classic has issued. These are pressed from the RCA masters that had music lovers the world ... | |
| My Only Question Is......... I agree with the comments about your getting into analog. The advise about the Conrad Johnson ART and the Counterpoint SA9 are both correct. Another option for best choice in a preamp is the Callisto from Aesthetix. This is the preamp from the Jim... | |
| What is the name of this song?? If you will visit "All Music Guide" @ http://allmusic.com/ You can put in the title of any song IE:'don't worry, be happy......' OR the name of any artist, the guide will give you every artist or version of any song, new or old. It also gives the ... | |
| Best Vanishing speakers The limitations of the Soundlab A-1's is the limitation of the other components in the system, or a room problem. In the event that better results are achieved by a cone speaker like the Vandersteen 5, I am certain of this. One of the members of m... | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices Ferdinand, in my tests, the single ended Purist edged out the balanced Purist. You must remember though, each transport and D to A converter is different, and this is no assurance that my test is conclusive. As in my posting of 6-15-00, this was t... | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices Redkiwi, contact me via e-mail, I think I can help you with this, and would be extremely happy to do so! | |
| Best Vanishing speakers I agree with the comments about Soundlab and Maggies, and probably should include the Quads. All of these are capable of turning into pure music, where the source appears to change with every recording...into a true to life musical experience. Of ... | |
| Best Electrostatic loudspeaker? To Sol322. I have always wondered why with all the high end interconnect, speaker cable and accessories, why in the world does someone NOT make high end fuses? Strictly speaking, none of the components in a high end system can survive after bypass... | |
| Digital Coaxial Cable 75 ohms choices My tests with digital coax provided much the same results as posted by Ferdinand. The Purist was the winner in every test, and I had both the RCA and balanced versions. The tests between the two versions of the Purist resulted in the single ended ... |
