| My CD player won't read CDR or CDRW I bought a $25 Sony portable CD player at their outlet, stuck it on top of three Vibrapods, got Radio Shacks' 1/8 to rca adapter,added some decent interconnects that were laying around, and wham!, CD-R for under $50. Now I can keep my Sony DVP-900... | |
| Speaker Cable Help At that price, try Analysis Plus, or Harmonic Technology.Excellent value, excellent sound. | |
| A. Eidolon v. JM Lab Utopia Rushton, your description echo's my own impressions exactly. I have also taken some time to come to the the same conclusion regarding the bass. It is not typical to hear an accurate bass, and took me a while to adjust to hearing it properly presen... | |
| A. Eidolon v. JM Lab Utopia Depends on the amp. The Eidelons I have heard are paired with VAC Monoblocks, and sound great. When I first heard the J.M. LAB's it was with Krell monoblocks, and simply put, it sucked. Heard the LAB's with Lamm Monoblocks: absolutely gorgeous. Gi... | |
| brulee fails PC challenge Same thing happens with interconnects, so I must assume that some factor affecting sound quality has changed. Dielectric, electron line up, the firmness of the connection itself, all or none of the above?, I wouldn't know. Even Chaos theory might ... | |
| Musical Fidelity HT600? Eyeman,I have heard it, and have been lusting after it since. It has a richness that is difficult to describe. Lush, but with all the resolution and soundstaging you can ask for. Unless you have a speaker system that needs tons of power, you would... | |
| Why so many DCS for sale recently? With SACD players in CD mode, many people feel they get close enough for comfort to the quality that DCS offers for 25% of the cost. | |
| Candles are lit, lights are down low Kubla K, "The Last Great Concert (My Favorite Songs)"is absolutely one of the great moments in music ever captured live. Now, I'm just beginning to appreciate some good jazz, being from a rock background, and after discovering, Kind of Blue, Time ... | |
| Candles are lit, lights are down low Have to agree with the Roxy or Chet Baker choice. I enjoy "Chet Baker Sings", but check out his "Last Great Concert" double CD, Whoa! Chris Isaaks "Baja Sessions" fits right in as well. | |
| Better adapter for portable CD players? Hi everyone, many thanks for your helpful responses.I went back to the Shack and found the 1/8 to rca adapter (thanks again Joe). I plugged a pair of Harmonic Technology Truthlinks in, just to see how much of a difference there would be when compa... | |
| Better adapter for portable CD players? Thanks Joe, That's my first choice. I thought they might, but their saleman assured me they didn't. I will check again. Since I have some good interconnects sitting around, I thought it might be worth a try. If that doesn't show some improvement o... | |
| Better adapter for portable CD players? Thanks to all.I would still appreciate any other suggestions. Sedond, I tried Music-direct but could only find CD's etc., and not cables. Sm121,can you recommend a dealer who carries the Twisted Pair design? Pfront, I'l check out headroom. com later. | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low Hi Paul, please accept my apology if I have offended you. I might have been a bit too passionate there, but all of my comments were not specifically directed at you. Michael Fremer's post here reminds me of a scene from, I think it was Annie Hall,... | |

| Stereophile's refusal to review more low Ray, the integrity question was not personal, I meant it as a reminder that anyone's integrity can be questioned, including you and me. There must be hundreds of products deserving of review, but Sterophile, TAS, Stereo Review, etc. are not Consum... |
