| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tbg,If we're happy all is well, I agree wholeheartedly. I listen to numerous analog fronted systems and really enjoy them. I don't hear the wide gap between those and first rate digital as you do, that's all. I certainly don't question your percep... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Hi Onhwy61,Essrand can certainly build his record library over time as most anyone has done, there is quite a resource available. My point for encouraging him is this, he can buy a superior product for a rare discounted price. This will match his ... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Larryi,Yes I'm aware of good original vinyl and own a nice amount of them. I took a few of my albums to a good friend's home today and we listened to them and some CDs. He has a Basis Debut TT and just installed his new Basis Superarm 9 with his t... | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill I'm making the assumption that Essrand is buying predominantly for phono pefformance with the line stage a secondary consideration. | |
| Is Coincident Statement Phono pre-amp an overkill Essrand,You actually heard the CAT preamp (good move) and were impressed. Will you have a chance to hear the Coincident Phono stage under similar conditions? | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Well said Mapman, honestly I just don't hear that "blows away digital" that some do with their turntable. I'm fortunate to have heard some wonderful analog and digital front ends in very well set up systems. Both can really sound fantastic but one... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Hi Larryi,I have a fairly large collection of jazz on viny(from my analog past) and they sound very good. Fortunately for me the vast majotity of my jazz CDs sound very good also, I can't speak for other genres (I have some classical CDs that are ... | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Thanks, that was nice and sweet. I always associate frank Wess with Frank Foster. When I first became interested in jazz it seems I often came across recordings that featured both of them. They're wonderful players. Charles, | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification In keeping with the hypothetical choices/ pairing options put forth by Mceljo I'd take CD with tube electronics rather than analog record with solid state electronics. I'll skip the caveatscable. Charles, | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D +1 Frogman.Another observation with cynical replies like Wc65 mustang's, there's hardly any meaningful followup or contribution . Just an opportunity to get in a smarmy remark that's supposedly witty (but isn't). If there's more to say, lets hear ... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Mceljo,There's no shortage of opinions given on this site (thousands over the years) but definitive conclusions, no. | |
| Ayon Triton or Spirit III with Dynaudio C1's What amp was driving the speaker that caused such a favorable impression on the two occasions? I admit a strong preference for good tube amplifiers, but only with an appropriate speaker. Some speakers are designed to be driven by transistor amps. ... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Mceljo,In a sense I understand why you're frustration with "conditional" answers and your desire for a more definitive reply. I'm afraid Almarg is right, there's no other choice. Given the multiple variables involved it's impossible to get a direc... | |
| Digital Source with Tube Amplification Your asked a pretty general question and were given some responses, what specifically are you trying to ascertain? | |
| World's Greatest Tenors Another very good Stitt, "Salt and Pepper" 5 of the tracks feauture Paul Gonsalves (tenor sax) along with Stitt (alto and tenor sax).Charles, |
