| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Jssmith, you put it far more succinctly than I. I'm PLEADING WITH EVERYONE to heed this advice. It says it all: "If high-end doesn't want to die off with their current mature audience, and lose the "Buick" reputation they have, they'd better star... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! no oddball at all, bluorion. Well-produced electronic music is such a tactile experience. Just to pull a well-known band out of a hat - it's one of the reasons Daft Punk hit so big: huge hooks and electronic music you literally could feel. | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! fsonicsmith, the floor is yours! minorl, with all due respect, I don't want to hear Dire Straits again either. I have nothing against Diana Krall. If she's good enough for Elvis, she's good enough for me. I just want some adventurousness and creat... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Chorus, that is some sage advice right there. | |
| Advice needed re: new CD player purchase A strong vote here for the Bryston BCD-3. Also, I recently purchased the hybrid SACD/CDZ from Trio Mediaeval and the sound is simply gorgeous. You asked if we noticed the upgrade in musicality immediately, and, frankly, I was stunned at the improv... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Thanks jond, I appreciate that. For a while I wrote restaurant reviews and I learned that good restaurants want constructive feedback, good or bad, but I think timing is important and I was insensitive in this instance. I could have just stuck wit... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! I wrote, as suggested, to Gary who runs Capital Audiofest and now I just feel shitty. He comes off a three-day event it takes him a year to prepare for and he gets me criticizing two days out. I wrote back and apologized. I was trying to be constr... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Jallan, great comments on the sound treatment. they new exactly what to do with their baffles in the Command Performance room. I like when they get it right like that. As for fsonicsmith, this is my post and you can say whatever the hell you want ... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Great advice, tubegb, thanks. Douglas, thank you, too. When you put it that way, I think my idea would be great for Sundays, traditionally the show's slowest day (right?). Also, yes! They put the nooses around their own necks. Here is me at the sh... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Totally agree, bhvf. No hostility toward taste, and at least we agree on the crappy music. If I knew a way to get a mass complaint to these people about it I would. | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! That problem was not in evidence on Sunday. Ugh, Diana Krall.These exhibitors should literally hire someone who knows about music to work their room for a weekend. I just can't understand how they don't get the importance of this in winning over c... | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! Darnit, Faxer! I was sorely in need of rescue by you and your room, then. Clearly, you get it, so much appreciation and I'm sorry I missed out. | |
| Capital Audiofest, save thyself! p.s. - the LKV Veros VNL phono pre was Class A gain circuitry, no opamps. Excellent. | |
| Joseph Audio Pulsar – Original vs. Graphene opinions? Maybe someone will come along and really break down the difference. Some of the commentary on this thread is ludicrous. | |
| Better CD Sound: The Search I don’t know what happens to the Bryston BCD-3 now that its chip manufacturer has burned down, but I can vouch that the player is superlative and at a slip under four grand a worthy value. I LOVE it. What no one on here has mentioned is a little p... |
