| Tubed CD Player w/ solid state amp? You really can't go wrong with any of those.. they are all top notch. The thing that some people like about tubes (myself included) is that they tend to soften digital music reducing a lot of the harshness issues people complain about (when compar... | |
| HELP - B&W Naut. 805's good music speakers? I second the comments about the 805 sig. The non-sig are fine but the sig are a huge step up. Clearer and more 3D imaging. It does not make sense that speakers that "look" basically the same can sound so different. I'm trying to decide between the... | |
| Is my hearing bad? I just went though the same thing trying to decide if I wanted a SACD player or a new redbook for my 2 channel cj system. In the end I could not hear a significant difference between a really good example of each on a system that was in the 50K+ r... | |
| Take the plunge into tubed CD player? I've been adding tubes to by system one step at a time over the last year.. I was concerned about it getting too tuby.. has not happened just kept getting smoother and more airy with not loss (to my ears) in highs, bass, or quickness... Give it a ... | |
| ProAc Tablette Reference Eight Signature I did get a chance a to hear these a few months ago. I really liked them but they did not give me the fullness I was looking for. The dealers suggested listening to the 1SC so we did. These seem to have the imaging of the tabs plus richer bass &am... | |
| Anyone still excited about HDCD ? While Bill Gates is no audiophile he's also no fool. If it competed with a Microsoft product I could see doing a deal to kill it but I don't see any reason to kill it. I'm wondering if he bought it as part of his plan to take over the living room ... | |
| SACD and DVD-A: Apples and Oranges? It seem interesting to me that I've seen no hybrid SACDs from Sony yet. My understanding is they are just starting to convert their plans from SACD only to hybrid. I'm wondering if they will reissue the SACD only music as hybrids. I think lables l... | |
| Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout I decided to pick up the T100 yesterday... and I love it. I brought it home, set it up. popped in a few favorite discs and enjoyed... no analysis required. My basic thoughts at this stage are that I will optimize my 2 channel setup for redbook and... | |
| Best monitor speakers: I'm on the same hunt my current favorites are the B&W 805 signature and the Dynaudio 1.4s. I've also listened to the joseph audio rm7si these are very nice as well. | |
| Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout I'll take your list as being pointed and not a flame...1) the system does not have the capability to show the differencesThe system used for the test (about 30-40K worth of Krell and B&W) is most likely more accurate than my CJ based system at... | |
| Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout That is exactly what I have in mind... I'm planning to use this for distributing movies from a DVD changer to three other TVs/HT amps in the house so adding another link for music would not be that big of a deal. I would still do the t100 since th... | |
| Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout The 777 seems to be a fine player but I think if I'm going to go multi-channel I may as well get a universal player with video. At this point I'm thinking about just buying the T100 (for my 2 channel music only system) at a good price and use the ... | |
| Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout I went back to listen to these players today. I'm convinced they sound equally good on CD. I'm not convinced that the t200 sounds better on SACD. Part of my problem is that the t200 had difficulty playing hybrid discs as CD. It worked some of the ... | |
| Do SACD player start up slower I did not actually time it.. so maybe I'm off. This was with the Shanling T200 that I was looking at in one of the local shops. It also did just as described above and stoped once it read the content so you had to wait while the read process was g... | |
| Shanling T100 to the T200 shootout Fs_audio, I've seen pictures of the Xindak but have not see any reviews of it. I just email the distributor to see if there is a dealer in my area. Care to give a "unbiassed" review? I would like to understand what you like about this over the sha... |
