| Am I really smart or really stupid? If there are any audio truths that I have learned over the years is that blanket statements like all of x's products suck...and all of x's products are great are asinine. | |
| Am I really smart or really stupid? Oops sorry meant the Yamaha MX-2000 not the MX-1000. | |
| Am I really smart or really stupid? I agree with you Jake. I think some of the Yamaha gear is highly underrated. A lot of audiophiles thumb there nose at it because of its midfi reputation. While some of that is deserved they also have some excellent pieces. Think about it this way;... | |
| "Must-have" SACDs Out There Tony Bennet " Playing with my friends"Oh my god! some of these tracks are unreal! Take the second, you can hear ... well it dosent matter!!! Great SACD for some tracks; not all! | |
| Phase Inversion The problem is how many times is the polarity reversed during the entire process starting with the recording?Most likely a number of times. If that is the case I dont think it makes much difference. | |
| A difficult LP reproduction question Albert,Jean turned me on to the ASL Mini, which he loves, when I purchased an Ariston RD80 from him. While I am just getting back into Vinyl it seems to do a superb job and I found it better than the other compareable pre's in that price range.Har... | |

Of course your speakers have to be oriented towards tubes, but when they are, heaven! I have owned or auditioned some of the best ss amps an... | |
| What is the best Beatle Song Paul wrote that song in the 60's when the civil rights movement was at its height. Blackbird is kind of a symbol for a black woman. | |
| If it were you, which non-Sony SACD? Slipknot,I have the Sony SCD333ES which I had modified by Dan Wright.If you can still get him to do the mods I think it out performs the 777ES by a slight margin. Not anything in this price range that beats it that I have heard. I would consider t... | |
| Traveling Wilburys? What gives? I can make you a copy.e-mail me where you want me to send it. | |
| Best Values and worst values in SS and tube amps ? I have to agree with Dekay bad idea for a thread.Everything is system dependant. Almost worthless to do these generalizations. Case in point, Aronov LS960 tube amps.I have owned many different amps in all price catagories. I found the Aronov to be... | |
| Is vinyl dead ? Vader007I feel the same way for the most part.Have a fairly expensive system by most standards and the best I have heard...so far anyway! Gave vinyl another try but just didn't get it...I did not use the most expensive vinyl setup for sure, but wh... |
