| SACD & other Formats Assuming you want a CD spinner, things improve tremendously as you move up in quality and (unfortunately) price. I recall when I thought $1500 bought the best CD you could have until I heard it next to a $3000 player that changed my perception of ... | |
| What's your latest album purchase? Johanna Martzy - Bach Partitas on Coup D'Archet. A bit pricey, but enjoyable. | |
| MSB BREAK IN PERIOD IMO, SS digital players should be left on overnight before any critical listening. Be a little patient. | |
| Speaker recommendations for Primaluna If you like Totem, I think a pair of Hawks would work nicely. They are very nice speakers. | |
| Shunyata vs. Audience vs. Bybee? All of the Audience power conditioners are great and the non-teflon versions are going for very low prices used. Plus, Audience has excellent customer service if you ever have an issue down the road. You really can't go wrong with any of their pro... | |
| How do I connect a separate CD transport I can't recall anyone ever mentioning that they had a digital input added to a CD player that didn't come with one from the factory. I'm not saying it's impossible, but I would think that some people would have spoken about having done it if it we... | |
| High quality CD recordings MA Recordings are superb. The Bach Cello Suites are wonderful. Linn also does great work as far as recording quality. Bach on the Lute is excellent. Opus 3 is good. Water Lily is so good that you wonder about the supposed limitations of the CD for... | |
| The Audio Critic As to the Fourier issue, as I recall, and I am willing to be corrected on this, Aczel believed that most speakers were riddled with fundamental errors that a "C+ student in engineering" would never make. He was of the opinion that a speaker design... | |
| The Audio Critic Rodman - "no one has ever (yes, ever!) heard a difference between two amplifiers with high input impedance, low output impedance..low distortion..."Aczel is saying is that amplifiers of similar design will sound similar. I believe, although I'm no... | |
| The Audio Critic I don't think Aczel or anyone else ever said that "all wire sounds the same". I believe the statement was that any differences in wires can be attributed to their electrical characteristics of resistance, capacitance and inductance. In other words... | |
| The Audio Critic Back in the 80's, TAC was a very highly respected magazine and Aczel's word could make or break a company. It seems to me his earlier work was very different, as he gushed over certain high-end brands like Rappaport and Cotter. (Who?) Later on, he... | |
| Need opinion with new cd player purchase From hanging around here for a number of years, I just don't think you're going to find many (if any) who have actual experience with Roksan CD players. They just don't seem to be very popular for whatever reason. I think both Cambridge and Naim a... | |
| Naim Amp Wattage Ratings As with any amplifier question, it all depends on how loud you want to listen and whether the amp can handle Wilson's tough impedance curve. IMO, the 300 would be an excellent match if you listen at moderate volumes. I've heard the Sophias with th... | |
| Hey Elizabeth Where you be?? Beethoven was deaf in both ears. | |
| moving magnet cartridge suggestions for rp8? Goldring Eroica high output MC. Works well in the Rega arms and you may not have to use a spacer at all. Maybe. Very nice cart for under a grand. |
