| Why has Netflix gotten greedy? Thanks Kenny, we're in full agreement. I think they've changed management, or ownership, because they have a totally different attitude now. The last time I used them (before the Marquee bull dung), they tried to charge me a $.99 late fee (they we... | |
| Last CD purchase; M.L. 39 or Wadia 850? No, the (current) CD50 will not play your handful of DAD's. It's THE PERFECT all in one player for CD's, though, AND THIS THREAD IS ABOUT ALL IN ONE CD PLAYERS (neither the ML or Wadia play DAD's, either, and if they did, they'd cost much more). D... | |
| 24/96 Format "The Complete Guide to Highend Audio". Of course there are CD's that were made from downsampled 24 bit, 96, or 192 kHz digital recordings. For example, Reference Recordings' recent titles. I saw the question with regard to FORMAT. All the current ... | |
| 24/96 Format They aren't called "CD's", they're called DVD video spec discs, for audio ("DAD", etc.). You would need a DVD transport (or player) that can output a 24/96 bitstream (not all of them can), and you'd need a DAC that is 24 bit, 96 kHz. You REALLY MU... | |
| The best CD player with volume control John, "wow, that's just fantastic...that's really what I think...oh, by the way, which one's 'pink'?" I'm glad that you are getting such good results with your 860, but my CD50 does EVERYTHING you have described, and I still prefer vinyl. To each ... | |
| Honest Reviewers ? Thanks for the positive comment, "underdressed". Lately, I've been spending too much time talking to women in forums, and wouldn't you know it, I wind up arguing with them too! | |
| Last CD purchase; M.L. 39 or Wadia 850? Why don't you consider a Resolution Audio CD50? Are you just interested in name recognition? It'd save you a ton of money, and it's just as good as the other two. | |
| PBN MONTANA ESP speakers I've not heard them either, but do think they'd be great. Good luck, and audition them first, if possible. | |
| Best system for opera lover at $30,000 Go back and read who started the "psychology" aspect. | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson amp.? If that's all you're saying, then we have no problem. So you were baiting me, then? How manipulative! Anyhoo, my experience is that it's the ML amps whose bass is analytical and "overtight". A Krell FPB's bass is rounded, and correct. Look, of cou... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Not "Surfacing", "Fumbling Towards Ecstacy". Meg Ryan is good, but with Sarah you'd have it all. For looks only, I'd go with one with less years, like Jennifer Grant. | |
| Krell or Mark Levinson amp.? Yeah Gary, you're right, none of us are having any fun at all. I guess we'll never learn, oh enlightened one. We're just wasting our lives away, because we don't happen to use the amp that you use. It surely must be the very best in the world for ... | |
| The demise of "Fi Magazine" I like audio magazines too, Brian, but good reviewers matter more than the magazine they write for. | |
| Please recommend Tube pre-amp(s) Most audiophiles are male, and generally spend more time listening to the system than their wives. So, why would you want to gear the sound toward her preference? I dispute yours and your anectdoatal "audiologists" claim that men loose more high f... | |
| which have forward sound? Wadia,cd50,BAT My CD50 goes directly into my Krell amp, and the sound is unbelievably musical, accurate, transparent, dynamic, images are solid and palpable (and go very deep, with ideal perspective), tonally truthful and grain free, totally fatigue-free, and ap... |
