| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, With all of this very good, very expensive gear how is your relatively inexpensive cd7 holding up. What are its strengths and where does it fail to match up ? Thanks - Jim | |
| Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists Mmakshak, Audiofeil picks up the story 50 years into it but I mostly agree. Now, about the playoffs. Between you and me I see 9-7 and a wild card slot. | |
| Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists It is impossible to condense this subject into a forum like this. Too many important people will be left out. I agree with Dan_ed that Robert Johnson deserves mention. To expand this a little further it is also important to mention Jelly Roll Mort... | |
| Are the Beatles the reason why modern music exists Louis Armstrong is the reason "modern music " exists. He and other early Louisiana jazz pioneers were the first to perform the solo instumental displaying extemporanious virtuosity. This is the basis for every guitar riff not strictly playing the ... | |
| REL is dead. Long live REL I recently spoke to Sumiko about the Britannia series and they stated that they were designed and built by Rel. The reason he gave for not importing Strata 5 and Storm 5 was that they believed that the remote feature diminished the sound and that ... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Louis Armstrong. He was the first to use modern phrasing and he had perfect pitch. Nobody felt and expresed music the way he did. If no Louis > no Holliday > no Fitzgerald > no Vaugh > no Crosby > no Sinatra > no Cole > no Ben... | |
| What is purpose of a cd transport? Thanks Shadorne. It's refreshiing to read such interesting posts especially your link. I get tired of reading repackaged marketing goop masquerading as fact. - Jim | |
| OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE Khyrs, yes you have been and I appreciate it. Even (especially) the "tweek". " Accuacy" to me means faithfuly reproducing what is on the 'disc' without adding subtracting or editorializing. If I want to add "color" I listen with a good red Burgund... | |
| OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE OK fellas you win. Samuel, yes it would be duanting but I volunteered to do the work at my own time/ expense. Why Wilsons ? I think this was clearly answered somewhere above but here goes again. Many nonprodutive flame wars have been started here ... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Czbbcl , that is not a characteristic of class A amps although this may be a limitation of Pass designs. As stated above Gryphon class A amps double output from 150W @ 8ohms all the way to 2400W @ 1/2 ohm (5000W peak). In the real world your home ... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS Hey frankg how do you like the encore ? I've never compared it directly to the signature but I bet it holds up pretty well.- Jim | |
| OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE Yes Vince McMahon ,I mean westborn, the FIRST attempt at empiric evidence gathering about a controversial topic which usually degrades into typical WWF B.S. has brought just what one would expect. Hilarius bafoonery from the oh so hip cut up crowd... | |
| OK WILSON OWNERS. HERE IS YOUR CHALLENGE Well, well, well. No takers khrys. Hmmmm..... | |
| CLASS A AMPLIFIERS If its not real heavy and real hot its not running an appreciable amount of class A power. I'm not kidding about the hot. My amp ( gryphon antileon signature ) gets so hot you can not keep a hand on it for more than a few seconds when its really c... |
