| Phono cable, are they really different? I have heard VERY substantial sound differences between phono cables. I'm trying to force myself to remember that more often than not, they both sounded great, just different. For example, my most recent comparison was Cardas vs Graham. One was ri... | |
| CES Alexis Park exhibitor question I remember this being an issue in New York. I think though in Las Vegas, I remember seeing people move their own gear.Att | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products I've owned two Cary cd players and the Cary SLI-80 for some time now. I have not had reliability problems, and my research on the net prior to making the purchases did not reveal a pattern of reliability problems. Art | |
| Reasonable Hotel for CES Ah, I forgot that there are long taxi lines. In the past I've stayed at a hotel 20 minutes away and parked near St. Tropez early in morning. Never attended any session outside of the high end area, perhaps I should try this time.Gambling junket, e... | |
| 845 integrateds I second the Bel Canto 845 integrated. And I think any SET from Art Audio would be awesome.Art | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? Well the mini, and I think the other docks too, had a line out that bypassed the output stage of the iPod. So people generally try to use the dock with previous generation iPods in order to access that direct line out.I read some place that the na... | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? ps: I wonder if the 2nd generation mini sounds different than my 1st gen. Hmmmm. Anyway, I will be continuing my focus in testing on migration from first gen mini to nano, 128 and 192 compression. | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? I would speculate that something is dramatically different physically in the nano from the mini that makes a clear sonic difference. It could be D to A conversion, amplification, or characterist of power supply, or all three.Also I should not rule... | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? Good comments, thanks for bringing these up.1. I am using mostly 128 AAC, with some 192. So my comments will not be definititive with respect to use of lossless, although it probably provides strong hints.2. The nano is replacing the mini. Steve J... | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? I'll be comparing it to a mini. That's the only iPod that I have available for comparison.Art | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? OK, why don't we open up this thread to discussion of sound quality. I am not getting the flood of emails I expected. Let's just discuss it here on the 'gon.I'm going to with-hold my comments until tomorrow, because I want to hear it carefully som... | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? I considered whether this would be premature, but well, I'm in effect asking people to NOT discuss the sound quality of the nano, and I think I'll at best have a brief window of time on this.Yes I do think a lot of Audiogoners took one look at the... | |
| iPod Nano Sound Quality - Your Feedback Please? We'll find out.Art | |

| Which speakers for use with iPod? I've been very disappointed at the sound quality of the small systems designed to play iPods. I think that a cheap integrated amp with a pair of inexpensive 2 way speakers would blow away any of the iPod directed systems that I've heard, and I've ... |
