| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... Everything you've said is common knowledge (we all know that the CD format was conceived of for higher profit margins--you're not blowing anybody's mind with that), and since you don't know what all the fuss is about, WHY IS IT THAT YOU TALK SO MU... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... I never said price equated quality. I merely implied that it would take the very best equipment to get the most out of upsampling. My standards are no different than anybody's who enjoys quality audio. Listening with a group of people is hardly a ... | |
| VANDERSTEENS vs. THIELS Is your room treated correctly with acoustic traps? If you haven't damped first reflection points, you won't be hearing what your speakers sound like, NO MATTER WHAT SPEAKER YOU CHOOSE. As for Thiels/Vandersteens, audition each in your home before... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... ALBERT PORTER: I agree with you on most points. BUT... your feelings represent an EXTREME viewpoint, I believe. I love vinyl, but let's be honest with our ears here (mine are quite good). The fact is, the technology (even interconnect cabling, and... | |
| Cheap silver cables I say MIT 330 Shotgun interconnects are the best, and SILVER SPEAKER CABLES ARE THE BEST. Music Metre made an excellent silver speaker cable a few years ago, and I've bought some at a great price. I prefer it to ANY copper speaker cable I've owned... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... MIKHAIL: Is your last name Gorbachev? What'll you do if we don't shut up, get another tatoo on your head (heh heh)? | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... MIKE: I'm in TN, near Chattanooga. I don't know when I'll get up your way. If you are ever down this way, we should get together. HOW FAST HAVE YOU HAD HER, TOP END (and I don't mean "treble", heh heh)?? | |
| Speaker Cable upgrade Alpha Core's "low impedance" designs are flawed. I've tried them, and they are very smeared and distorted. And the Focal tweeter Wilson uses is no good at all, however much they "rebuild" it. | |
| Speaker Cable upgrade When REDKIWI says "it's vital to not mix manufacturers, or you'll just be playing with tone controls", THAT'S HOGWASH. That's just common dealer propoganda to try to keep you from buying a brand they don't carry. I have AT Diamond, and using it wi... | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... MIKE, I was referring to the (as yet released) factory 996 (911) Turbo. What model year is the 911 you had modified? I'm glad you know the difference. (Hope you don't just drive the speed limit!) I thought that tuners like Ruf in Germany were supp... | |
| Cdp or Dac ALEXAN, a single CD player is better. Separates cost more than twice as much, and aren't always as good, MUCH LESS BETTER, than a great CD player. The only jitter free digital connection is the I2S bus, and only two or three models have it. AND IF... | |
| Cdp or Dac Resolution Audio CD-50. | |
| CD vs. SACD vs. DVD-Audio vs Vinyl vs... MIKE: I apologize for seeming overly aggressive. It is you who is wrong, however. For one thing, Porsche doesn't make "superchargers". (Get real!! You don't even know the difference between a turbocharger and a supercharger!) It's obvious that you... | |
| best 2 channels power amp around $3k? I GURANTEE THAT THE KRELL KAV-250a is the clear winner here. | |
| Opinions on Muse 3 premp wanted I've not heard a Muse 3 in person, but the specs look very promising. Others you might consider listening to are a Sonic Frontiers Line 3, or a Levinson No.38S. |
