| Anyone heard the new Van Morrison, Pay The Devil Picked-it-up today. Not bad. His voice is getting rougher, but there are some nice moments. Good recording.The new Kris Kristofferson is quite impressive. The sound quality is as good as I've heard, period -for this type of acousti-country recording. | |
| Lector problems anyone? Actually I have noticed on two (of 700) CDs, the Lecctor has a difficult time finding the tracks near the end of discs with many songs.It usually takes some "tricks" like playing track 1, and back-tracking from there.A bit of a hassle, but nothing... | |
| This sucks Remember you're replacing a speaker that has highly authoritative bass and soundstaging.As a 4JR owner, and former 300SEI owner, I would highly reccomend a pair of VR-2s. They work extremely well with the 300SEI. I've often thought about going bac... | |
| Red Trumpet still in business? I could be wrong, but I thought that your card was only charged when the order was shipped. I know that was the case for music orders, but it could be different for gear.People with pending music orders should have nothing to worry about.I had rec... | |
| The "Stones" USA collection series They are just "repackaged", not re-mastered. There was actually a rep making a sales call in-store on the day they were released, who was able to answer the question for me.FYI,CB | |
| BAT VK-300x for Von Schweikert VR4-JRs? Not very hot. I have mine enclosed on top, but open in the back (see my system photo). I've never had a problem with system heat. My old 300 SEI would provide some fairly serious heat, that I would not have been comfortable enclosing. | |
| Any problems with Springsteens DualDisc? I've had no problems with the playback, and the sound quality is very good (Lector CDP-7T). The only problem I've had is it will not allow me to make a duplicate copy for the car. It simply cannot find an audio file to copy.Cbucki | |
| BAT VK-300x for Von Schweikert VR4-JRs? Yes....I run the 300Xse with the 4jrs, and I'm very pleased with the results. The tonality of the BAT is of extremely high quality. You will get an extremely versatile system, that can play acoustic to techno-sound very convincingly.I would also r... | |
| John Lennon, good music, poor fidelity Herman,The recent MoFi editions of his (Lennon) solo CDs are excellent.They are also available on LP. Definately worth a try. I was skeptical, because they were remastered by Capitol not that long ago, and sounded fine. The MoFi releases are extre... | |
| The New Steve Hoffman Remasters Have Arrived They are available at Music Direct (amusicdirect.com) and Red Trumpet. Audio Fidelity also has their own website, where all their current and upcoming product is shown (audiofidelity.net).They used to have a nice interactive forum, where you could... | |
| Jim Capaldi RIP. Jim actually had a nice "comeback" in the US in the mid-early '80s. I believe the disc was "Fierce Heart", which is a very good CD. He had two songs ("That's Love", "Livin' On the Edge"), that were played in heavy rotation on our local top 40 form... | |
| Mobile Fidelity VS Re-mastered The newly remastered CDs will generally be much better.The "new" MoFi titles have been great, but the old ones are no match for today's remastering procedures.Not even close,CB | |
| Component Pecking Order Metralla,The need for a more powerful amp to accompany the 4JRs led to my system overhaul. I was running a Cary 300 SEI with my VR-2s. That was a sweet combination for the money.I was also using the Sony XA-777ES for SACD, and an Electrocompaniet ... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Xenithon,It's easy to understand why you would have questions about these speakers, espescially if you have read the review in the new TAS. It's one of the most poorly-constructed reviews I've come across in quite some time. The strength of this s... | |
