| Record stores in New Orleans ..... Try to have a meal at Commanders Palace if you can. It's a great place. | |
| Advice for new Integrated amp please. I've recommended this BADA many times. It's the best inexpensive amp I've ever heard. | |
| Bach Unaccompanied Violin Sonatas-Johanna Martzy I just purchased the Testament reissues and they are quite nice, although it's a bit difficult for me to listen to an hour of solo violin. The Electric Recording Co. and Coup D'Archet offerings look beautiful, but I'm not sure I would spend that k... | |
| Rega Saturn or Sony XA5400: Sound or features? Dear SJ - what you seem to forget is that when you choose to post to a public forum, you open yourself up to criticism by other members. I once posted a thread asking about the Land Rover and got flamed to death, despite the fact that one of the l... | |
| Rega Saturn or Sony XA5400: Sound or features? I'm sorry. I have no intolerance towards redundant posts. I just thought it might help you out to re-read the posts of the many members who took time out of their busy day to try to answer your question first time around. | |

| Audio for kids Yes, I forgot that the D1 has optical, but it needs to be powered by USB. | |
| Audio for kids I was going to say that a 10 year old kid doesn't need a dac, but then again, I remember being enthralled by my uncle's JBL Paragon/Mac system when I was no older than that. If you have USB, I think the Audioengine is a really nice little piece. N... | |
| sony xa777es vs xa5400es What exactly do you mean by "timing" in the context you're using it? | |
| Are We Talking CDs And CDPs Out Of Existence? It is good that these computer-based products exist for those who wish to fool around with them, but I agree with you that many people enjoy the act of going over to the media rack, flipping through the various selections, removing it from its cas... | |
| VDH the FROG on VPI Scout Lyra Dorian Don't forget the trade in value. You can get a Dorian for $1300 with trade in at Needle Doctor, maybe less elsewhere. If you like the cart, maybe that's the way to go. Maybe not. | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier As someone who has owned both Harbeths and Coincident speakers, I think a potential buyer has to realize that a speaker designer ususally has absolutely no idea of the room the speaker will be placed in and therefore is faced with tough decisions.... | |
| IMO the two best tracks to demo or test any system The alto sax on Brubeck's Take Five album is a good test of the upper midrange. If it sounds harsh, you should pass, IMO. Same with Nora Jones' earlier stuff. Voice is recorded very front and center and will expose a harsh or honky midrange in sho... | |
| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power It's worth it if you can hear it and you can afford it. It you can't hear it, you're a fool if you buy it. You're also a fool if you assume nobody else can hear it because you can't. | |
| $9000 speaker Orangutan or speaker + amplifier If you're buying the Devores new, why don't you take advantage of your dealer's expertise? Nobody here owns them, so everyone is basically talking out of their ass. Go to the dealer, try them with a set amp and try them in your home if you need to... |
