| the magic of power cords Onhyway, this is an area where diminishing returns is thrown out the window. One can get 90% for 1K, 95% for 3K, but that last 5% can cost you 100K.If you have been stuck at 98.3% for 10 years, a change that gets you to 99.2% is for that person a ... | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Al, we posted at almost the same time. I also have and love the Toscanini Brahms! | |
| What are your TWO favorite Symphonic Recordings? Schubert, you are killing me, man. I have 7 kids and 2 grandchildren. Don't ask me to pick my favorite two.I just can't do this based on musical or artistic grounds. I can make 2 choices based on sentimental grounds. My interest in symphonic music... | |

| DACs And Classical Music Mitch, I think lowrider provided a good answer. I'm going to approach the question in a different way. There is no absolute reference with amplified music. This has been long recognized and is the basis for the absolute sound-- a live performance ... | |
| Best sounding new DAC under $2500? I haven't seen a price yet for the ModWright Elyse. If I were looking for a DAC, I would do nothing until this piece went into production. I also heard a rumor that Coincident is working on one. If true, this could also be a piece worth waiting a ... | |

| the magic of power cords Onhwy, The key to understanding my use of the term "transformed" is linked to the virtual absence of fatigue I experienced after replacing the PCs. I did not mean to say that it completely changed the overall sound. Perhaps I could have used a dif... | |
| the magic of power cords Everyone seems to have a story to tell on this subject, as I am sure you are aware. Over the next 12 hours, if this thread runs true to form, we are going to hear them all over again for the umpteenth time. The responses will include at least one ... | |

| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Guys, my post on audio circle still has not appeared. However, Dan Wright addressed the issue, so you can take a look at what he has to say. Use with a transport is not going to happen. Pretty much its go computer audio or forget it. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Finsup, Vinnie provided a very clear explanation of the issues. Sounds like digital in might not be a great idea on this unit. Looks like it is going to require an all in on computer audio for me to utilize the Sony. I've got 2000 CDs. My music li... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Finsup, Since I am a new member the post has to be approved before it appears. I guess all the reviewers are on vacation. I will certainly take a look at the RWA site. |
