| Redbook Digital Can Sound Great -- On Occassion Rja, I don't think "the computer thing is temporary" but here to stay. But having said that, as I mentioned above, there are some very well engineered redbook CDs out there and I think I tripped into a few. I read in another thread that some vendo... | |
| Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital Cool. Thanks again GZ... I'll check out the web sites you listed and check out the offerings....and prices. | |
| Revel Salon/Studio and ARC Tube Amps Omsed, I suspected that. Interestingly, the Revel Studios present a somewhat similar impedance plot as my Paradigm S8s (v3), with the main difference being that the S8s are touted as having an efficiency/sensitivity of 92 db. I understand the Reve... | |
| Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital Gz... and others, thank you very much for your suggestions. I will read them a couple of times and see what I can do. Also, totally unaware of audiophile grade redbook. Where can I source such CDs and how do you know that it's audiophile grade? As... | |
| Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital GZ.... I haven't decided on a budget yet. It seems the biggest cost will obviously be the DAC, which can run anywhere from $200 to the stratosphere. For example, I've seen used ARC DAC 8s going for $2K to $3K on A'gon. The ARC route is way, way to... | |
| Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital Thanks. Is SACD something to think about? | |
| Need advice on how to dip a toe into digital Onh...., yes I was thinking about using my new laptop PC. My music tastes run the full spectrum, from classical to 70s and 80s rock, and jazz. Right now I'm spinning an LP, Delbert McClinton, Plain From The Heart (Capital/EMI ST-12188). I would de... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I'd like to add a "lay techie" comment. I hope that digital does improve to the point that it is consistently better sounding than vinyl. I'm NOT saying that all of my LPs sound better than my "redbook" CDs because they do not. But, IME and to my ... | |
| Best System displayed on Audiogon A classic example of "more is more." ;>') | |
| Scraping sound Follow up Q: my Delos does not produce a scrapping sound on all records -- just some. If the stylus was worn or schoozted-up, would the scrapping sound always be present? It might seem that it would??? In any case, as soon as my Zephyr comes back ... | |
| Scraping sound String... Both the OP and I own the Zephyr. The OP's concern related to his Zephyr. My post is about my Delos, which seems to also produce a groove scrapping sound. Your comment suggested that I lift the back-end of the Delos. I asked whether this... | |
| Scraping sound String.... I thought the VTA for the Delos should be parallel (90 degrees) to the record. | |
| Scraping sound I just spoke with Peter Ledermann today about my Lyra Delos which seems to be presenting the same issue as described by the OP. Not sure this helps, but Peter strongly suggested that I stop using the Delos until the ultimate cause is diagnosed. He... | |
| Has anyone tried making their own interconnects? Tony... The short answer to your Q is "no." But for those who are looking for I/Cs or speaker cable of great quality, reliable electrical attribute stats (e.g., resistance, capacitance and inductance), I highly recommend giving Tom Tutay a call. I... | |
| If you solicit offers, shouldn't you respond? Etnier, did ur seller have solid member feedback? I take my feedack extremely seriously, particularly when I am the seller. Like it or not folks, buying and selling on A'gon is based on a lot of trust, especially when one considers the money invov... |
