| Why has Netflix gotten greedy? I only own 20 titles, and don't feel that has anything to do with it. They're not like music, where you can listen over and over again and never get enough. You can't watch any movie over and over again, without getting very tired and bored with i... | |
| Best loudspeaker on the 3k range??? The Paragon Radiants are every bit as dynamic as the Contour 1.8 mk2's, and ARE A MUCH BETTER VALUE AT $2850. www.paragonacoustics.com. The Esotec D260 tweeter is nowhere near as good as the D21/2 in the Radiant. There are only 2 dome tweeters bet... | |
| Best Cartridge cost no object The Benz Lo4 beats the AT OC-9. You could relax much better with it, double sheesh...And if I had to buy one with cost not being an object, I'd buy the Koetsu Onyx Platinum, whether I compared it directly with others in my system first, or not. Be... | |
| 24 bit 96khz. whats the deal? By "full capability", it just means it has an internal 24/96 DAC that can play 24/96 audio DVD's. WHAT'S MORE IMPROTANT IS: CAN IT OUTPUT 24/96 THRU THE COAXIAL (or Toslink) DIGITAL OUTPUT? If so, you can get a better external DAC later, and use t... | |
| New Integra DPS-5 dvd player from Onkyo Crack it open, and look. | |
| Help=Vienna Beethoven&Sonus Faber GP Sounds like you're wanting the Grand Piano. I say, try both in your home if at all possible. I hope you have at least minimal room treatments. You should consider the Paragon Acoustics Radiant, a much better value at $2850. www.paragonacoustics.com | |
| CD player finally died. Need rec. David99 is quite right, ya big baby you... | |
| Best solid-state amp made anywhere I think captain imho is romantisizing Italy just a tad, where high end audio is concerned. I love some Italian audio products, but let's not get completely off our rockers here. I've not heard the Aloia amp. Who's the importer? | |
| sub to match martin logans A continuously variable phase control is as important as one for the crossover frequency. | |
| Power cord upgrade I agree. The problem with those "bossy Betties" that don't like good power cords is that their theory has one fatal flaw: THE POWER CORD THAT CONNECTS YOUR COMPONENTS TO THE WALL IS STILL IN SERIES. Thus, it has TOTAL EFFECT on the AC power delive... | |
| SACD players. Owner progress report I can't think of a reason. Like I said before, what does it matter which format wins? Digital audio will always change, and always improve (to some extent). The vast majority of recordings are two channel, and I have no trouble hearing out-of-phas... | |
| What are monoblock amps? Here's something I've not said before (heh heh): You might want to consider reading The Complete Guide to Highend Audio. Good luck, and happy listening! | |
| Goldmund 36 vs ML 31.5 vs CEC TL1X I don't know, but who would want digital gear to sound more like digital than analog? I realize you want the opposite...don't we all? ANYWAYS, GOOD LUCK, and try to compare at least two contendors in your system, if at all possible. | |
| Speakers: all-time worst Ditto on the tobacco industry. Tobacco serves no useful or positive purpose, AND IT SHOULD BE SMITED FROM THE EARTH!! | |
| SACD players. Owner progress report A Resolution Audio CD50 beats them all for playing standard CD's. Get one used for around $1600. |
