| What is the best redbook CD player for 6K to 8K? I would at least audition the new Audio Research CD7. It retails for $9,000.00. From all reports, this may be the most musical one-box CD player ever produced. | |
| Favorite 6922 for ARC preamps. You might want to consider the Mapleshade brass tube dampers which will get you a long way toward the sound of NOS tubes while using standard 6922s. | |
| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K You could definitely get the Dunlavy SC-Vs for that or perhaps the SC-VIs. They are huge speakers, but really have no sonic equal at this price point( but it does require enough room space to let them breath). | |
| Class A power amp will give the best BASS SLAM? How do you spell K R E L L ?!? | |
| VINCE YOUNG On hi def? I'm from Texas and last night's game was one of the bestcolleage match-ups that I can remember seeing. I thought that Texas would wear down USC and that the game would turn decisively to Texas late. In my estimation that was not the case, but more... | |
| My transport has "tuning dots" what are these? Tuning dots are marvelous little things that can have a surprising affect on most anything associated with an audio system. I have used the Marigo dots with success and at one point actually got a little carried away with too many. Overall, though... | |
| Vassar Clements R. I.P. I thank you as well. I actually had some association withhim back in 1966 when radio station KFDI in Wichita, Ks. decided to have an 'old time fiddle contest'. I was only 14 and he was a bit older. He, of course, won it going away and I was a very... | |
| Speaker upgrade How do you spell D-U-N-L-A-V-Y ?!? | |
| Magnnum Dynalab tuners sound quality I recently purchased an MD90. A very smooth listenable piece with excellent sensitivity. A lot quality for the $$.Fits nicely with the Audio Research equipment in the system. | |
| Speaker suggestions Good cone speakers are almost always better than lower priced planar/electrostatic type speakers. I use to think just the reverse; but speed and definition is no longer the sole domain of 'big and flat'. Dunlavy speakers are excellent examples of ... | |
| bi-amping Dunlavy IV speakers I vertically bi-amp the Dunlavy Vs. I'm using Audio Research D200 amps. Using Richard Gray products have definitely made a difference in bass performance! | |
| Upsampling. Truth vs Marketing Check out what Audio Research has to say about it with their CD3 III machine. | |
| Best and Worst sound at the CES Show 2004 I've been involved with all this stuff for over 30 years. I can tell you that 'it's all good' given enough time to set the systems up properly and use the appropriate tweeks to maximize performance. In the end it generally boils down to room reson... | |
| SACD... is this all there is? Check-out Acoustic Sounds and the Sony site list. When I looked some time back, I found about a 1000 titles. In my estimation, this is still rediculously small. The better CD players (Audio Research, Trivista, etc.) can make red-book CDs sound awe... | |
| sexiest sounding female vocalists? I personally find female vocalist who try to sound sexy quite annoying. In many cases it's just a cover-up for a lack of talent. If you guys only knew what goes into the engineering process of recording, overdubbing, blending, pitch allignment,etc... |
