| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners One more installment of the HAPZ1/MW5400 comparison. Shostakovich, Symphony 13, "Babi Yar" Kitajenko, Gurzennich Orchester Koln. SACD Capriccio. This proved to be an outstanding choice for the comparison. The ALAC file through the HAPZ1 exhibited ... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners I’m about 2 weeks in on the HAPZ1 now. It’s had a decent burn in, so I thought it was time to do some serious A/B with my ModWright Sony 5400, hereafter to be referred to as MW 5400. For this comparison, I pulled everything out of the rack, then t... | |
| Sony HAP 1 ES and adding external Hard Drives Richard, I have an unused 1.5 TB HD that I bought but never used. I intend to dedicate it to the Sony. I can try to hook it up, but my guess is I will get the "reformat" command. If I can find a spare USB I will give it a go tomorrow. | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Schubert, I brought the Alto Rhapsody in for a listen on the main rig. Disappointing sound. | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Schubert, I found a nice used copy of the Beechum on Amazon. Thanks. I will mention a recent purchase that I have found very satisfying, a Newton classics release of Brahms Alto Rhapsodie and various choral works. ColinDavis/Nathalie Stutzmann. Th... | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Schubert, I will take a look for the Beechum. I have spent far too much trying to find Schubert that exposes the sublime beauty that is so clearly in his music. | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Schubert, Buddy you nailed it on the Krips great C major!. Wow, this is what I always knew the work could be. Head and shoulders above every other performance I have heard. I owe you one! | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Days 10 and 11.Joe, we are not quite alone, but you can get us all together in one room and still have room for an angel choir singing "Lobet den Herrn."Now then, having been reminded that my life (and wife) will not permit me full time devotion t... | |
| Coincident Linestage vs CJ CT5 or Allnic L-3000 Pap, I've had mine in the CSL for a couple of days now. Preliminarily, I like what I hear, but I'm going to burn these in for a couple weeks before doing an A/B/C with the Hi Fis and original Shuguangs. | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners DAY 9 All the wav corruption has been purged, ALAC flawless today.Al, thanks much for your kind words. I will take a look at the discussion you linked shortly. I had a couple frustrating days trying to do just exactly what you indicated should be ... | |
| What do you void listening? Schubert and billbartuska, I'd love to get you two together for a viewing lot the stooges Hoi Poloi. The commentary would no doubt be priceless. | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Uomoragno, It would take a bit of doing to figure out how to run flac with my iMac/ITunes set up. Once I get through this initial tsunami of new technology, I will give that a try and see what it sounds like. Smargo, I've followed the modwright th... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners All my ingenious fixes proceeded to screw things up worse than before. It has been a frustrating couple of days, my friends. However, one of my bosses once said, " I give all the hard stuff to Bill." Another one characterized my research style as ... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Mitch, I'm working on something that may be a fix for the track order getting screwed up. There is a way to link "songs" together in iTunes so they always play in the same order even if you do a shuffle play. I also think I may have figured out ho... | |
| Sony HAPZ1 For prospective buyers and owners Day 7 & 8.More than a little frustration with wav files. Transfer of wav files is probably an exception rather than rule proposition. Sadly, transfer of the bulk of one’s library in wav is probably not a viable plan.Having determined that at l... |
