| what are the "must have" CD's ZZ top's Greatest Hits Cd has a lot of tracks with very low bass that can really rattle a room. Also Via Las Vegas has some nifty sonics contained within it.Big bandfs come to mind as well, and the one's I like to play for people are:Illinois Jacq... | |
| Laptop Docking Station S/PDIF Output of all the interfaces for transmission of audio info, your docking station may be a little obscure for gleaning great amounts of info on.I'd personally think it would surely suffice. how well is always the deal though. For internet radio, it shoul... | |
| Slate under speakers? I think all of this is as the 'listener' believes it to be.We're using different speakers, on differing sorts of finished flooring, and applying what we feel or hope will improve things.I suspect any or all of the above concoctions could be the fi... | |
| HDCD VS SACD RwwearAgreed.The lack of titles & artists is for me the whole thing. of course it is nice to find a plumb in all of it. Same thing goes for the Mo Fi remastered CDs, and XR. I really gotta love it before I'd drop $30 on an album. Maybe the nex... | |
| IC's from pre-pro to amp Know...I plan on getting a set of the Auvio's tomorrow if posible, in these parts.I'll get back up here and relate what I think of them in a couple weeks.Can you compare them to other cables? Like Cardas, Synergistic, AZ, MIT, or HT?I need a pr fo... | |
| IC's from pre-pro to amp This cabling affair can get pricey?No kidding!It will unlock the best your gear has to offer, however, by investing wisely on them.If you have HDMI in your proc/receiver/pre do use that interface. That one item will save you a lot of $$$. With HDM... | |
| IC's from pre-pro to amp Another more straight forward, read less rounded and more resolute sound, are the Goertz Micro Pearls. I use a pair myself.Skinny little nothing cables that really perform over their heads. I paid $60-$70 for a 1.5M pr.The only knock on them is I ... | |
| HDCD VS SACD Thanks for those links to save on SACD. Thanks a lot.K's right though... SACD is a classical lover's sanctuary. DVDA though seems to have tried to gain the younger more pop oriented audience.the numbers I saw on the Wickopedia site for HD was simi... | |
| Getting Started Jacks2Agreed. I've little exp with ints per se, and always went the bang for the buck reciever way, and added amps and so forth as time passed, then trickled down the appliance to some other room or person.Also the overall cost or budget indicates... | |
| HDCD VS SACD Kijanki To paraphrase:Why do SACDs sell for $30 and royalties are $1?If that's true or even slanted towards truth more than less, it's a simple answer... Avarice. Plain and simple greed. The only format I've not actually heard played back on a dec... | |
| Getting Started Jax2PT Nova amps not too good?That's curious, though I don't doubt your aprasal. One review did say it wasn't the strongest point of the Nova or Decco, as Nu Force amps were used predominately for testing all the other aspects of the PT int (s)...... | |
| HDCD VS SACD FafafionHuh?Try rereading my last paragraph. if your RB source is top notch and your SACD player only converts DSD to PCM output, it's entirely possible the RB could sound better than the SACD.. as the SACD aspect is not the optimum DSD throughput... | |
| Why aren't all CD players also DAC's? CDPs are DACs. They're simply quite proprietary, decoding only those discs placed within them in predetermined formats, and not for outboard use... generally speaking. | |
| HDCD VS SACD Adding to the posts above I read a while back the HD CD format was encoded at 20 bit word lengths rather than the norm red Book CD words of 16. The sampling rates were identical. 44,100 Hz.I have a few and when ripping to my hard drive so far the ... | |
| Has anyone heard the new PS Audio Perfect Wave? Dweller Krell CAST, Perfect wave, and Magicos. hasn't everybody?Just buy a lottery ticket instead... the odds are better there, I'm sure. |
