| BMG CD's ARE worse The Rush CD was just called "2112" which you cn buy in any store. The BMG version "Chronicles" only has the first and second part of "2112". So the discs aren't identical and that would better define if it's really BMG's fault or not.I did not thi... | |
| Big Difference With New Source? What loudspeakers are you guys using? I have found big improvements with CDP (in dealer showrooms) on Thiel 1.5 (Linn Genki to Meridian 508.24) and Revel M20 (Marantz 5 disc changer to Musical Fidelity 24/192 DAC) speakers. But I notice extremely ... | |
| BMG CD's ARE worse The BMG version was 2112 in Rush's "Chronicles" (a 2 CD set) and apparently was compiled in 1990. No mention of remastering so I thought they were using the original master tapes.The other version is the actual "2112" CD. It was not manufactured f... | |

| Creek- Arcam- Rega.... best tuner of the three?? Put the Marantz ST-6000 on your list. Only $290. | |
| Thiel 3.6 vs. Dunlavy SC-IV/A I found Dunlavy to sound flat and extremely boxy (shut in). Maybe also a slight lack of low level detail. I wouldn't consider them dynamic, knock your socks off speakers. I thought they were similar to electrostatics in their style. But I'm not sa... | |
| Compressed recordings? HiFi enemy 1? I think with music that has been compressed a lot, I have to put the volume really low. Even then it sounds too loud. And just bumping up the volume a hair has a big effect on volume.Sometimes I hear a song and don't really like the tune but it so... | |

| Upsampling put to "THE TEST": R U ready 2 take it? Zaikesman " a degree of difference that is beyond tweaking - we're talking about fundamental character here. "That is a really interesting concept. Would make a good thread topic: "What actually can be expected from tweaks?"Would power cords, inte... | |
| Joseph Audio Speakers never show up used Marakanetz, you are exactly right about Joseph RM33's. I hate to bash a product but the RM33 would only appeal to someone who has a lot of money and no ear for stereo stuff. But sees a high price so assumes it must be good.Sorry, while the Pearl d... | |

| Fatigue Subjective??? I guess, because Meadowlark Shearwaters were incredibly fatiguing to me. But no one else has ever mentioned Meadowlark as being fatiguing.I don't get your comments on Naim having good soundstage depth. I always found it worse than pretty much anyt... | |
| Speakers for the real world. Placement problems. Polk LSI 15's are $1,200 from www.jandr.comWant more? Polk LSI 25'sI heard Polk and they are clearer than my B&W. Bass (powered sub) also stomps my B&W. They are not sweet. They are also not as well engineered or refined as B&W. But yo... | |
| Qualitative test of Auric Illuminator I heard no differences I could consistently identify.However, I can objectively say that treating CDR's before burning caused an increase in ruined CDR's. Apparently the Auric Illuminator blurrs the laser and creates problems when burning discs. S... |
