| 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... | |

| 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... | |
