| Analog vs Digital Vinyl can be very quiet, but the worn ones will never be quiet. But the music that's in that "quiet" is much more real with vinyl, than the CD format allows. I couldn't agree more, Craig, on how difficult it is to appreciate someone else's system,... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Doug, please do not pretend that you were not making a value judgement based on PURE SPECULATION (on YOUR part) of whatever linestage you think it is, that I own (when you said "if you would just get a good one, you wouldn't believe the improvemen... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment I agree with Redkiwi. i've tried many power cords, and they all sound different. If anyone else does the same, and they do not sound any different TO THEM, then that's fine. Just don't tell Redkiwi, or me, what we are hearing, or not hearing. I CO... | |
| Analog vs Digital My CD50 is just as pleasing to me as my vinyl rig, and they are at similar retail price points. My vinyl rig is a VPI HW19 junior, AQ PT-8 arm, Benz Lo4 cartridge, Phonomena phono stage.....................Good CD's do remind me very much of analo... | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Sedond, I'll not reveal it, simply for the reason that no matter what it is, guys like you will say things like you said ("just imagine how good it would be if you would just get a better one"). You know what? You don't even know what it is, nor h... | |
| Best "Hungarian Rhapsody" on vinyl? No kidding?? I absolutely agree...though I don't plan on owning it long enough to need to have it done. | |
| ACI Sapphire II: review Good for you! Power cords make a huge difference, whether or not there are miles of steel cable upstream from them or not (as one other guy says, elsewhere). The reason is simple: they are still in series with the power that is supplying your comp... | |
| Best "Hungarian Rhapsody" on vinyl? Yes, my friend Albert Porter has the signature of that cartridge, and I hope to own one at some point (or else by that time, maybe just bypass it and get the Platinum Signature). I have the Benz Lo4 now, but I like it very much. I'll definitely ge... | |
| Simple Question. Simple Answer? Many feel that way, David Wilson for example. I at least admire the finish and build quality of his products, more so than the sound/value (and it's not due to wiring aspects IMHO). Dynaudio doesn't believe in bi-wiring either (and I think they kn... | |
| The fallacy of ac treatment Snobblob, Methinks you haven't heard a PS Audio 300, which does re-generate the frequency, BTW. | |
| Help choosing digital front end. I hope you find what you are looking for, I thought they still made the D-92 DAC (I've personally never heard it). I have no idea what they are up to, the past few months. Others have told me that the reason they don't have a big product lineup, i... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Yes, I met a model/student in NYC, and we did the cyber sex thing, that was fun. Met a few others, one from New Orleans said she looked like Britney Spears, and that was fun too. But of course, "it's really about the music"...that is certain, for me. | |
| Vinyl vs. CD Yes, Albert's points are right on, again. I was one of the participants in that other thread. I was first getting to know Albert then, and many here thought I was "just being emotional", and had no real point to make. I will say this, here:.......... | |
| Audio & the Emperor’s new clothes. Classic: You are still an audiophile, and you still enjoy music, so be happy, and don't worry that everyone sees everything exactly the same way as you. They never will, I learned that in the first week that I got acquainted with the "highend". In... | |
| Feelings on Napster? Why? Mainly so that I can save some money, I'm not ashamed to admit it. I've paid full retail of like over $4000 for vinyl reissues from Classic Records and other vinyl reissue labels, in the past 2 and a half years, and so....Why would I NOT be f... |
