| Getting into SACD IMO, lower priced SACD players do not do redbook as well as dedicated players near the same price. I have owned the Sony 9000, 5400 and the Esoteric X-05 and found this to be true in all three cases. Perhaps the more expensive players like the Eso... | |
| Ray Dolby, Passes at 8o years of Age You don't do heavy metal in Doubly. RIP | |
| Headroom Max $3000 headphone amp. Opinions anyone? Don't discount the Grado RA-1. Despite it's low cost, it is voiced to compliment the 1000's. Frankly, if I were going to spend a lot on an amp for those cans, I would probably look into Woo, as he also uses the big Grados as one of his references.... | |
| Best digital converter $5k under A very brief review of your prior posts shows that you've previously pronounced the Ayon CD2, the CD5 and the Skyla DAC to be the finest digital. So are you now saying that this one is superior to those? If I buy this, how do I know you won't proc... | |
| Norah Jones Donjr, again you missed the point of my post. I actually did like Nora's first two records very much. The ones she had less input on. I was very dissapointed with her output after that. And - her fame was built off those first two records. As to "... | |
| Norah Jones On "Come Away With Me" Nora is listed as writer on 2 tracks and co-writer on 1 track out of the 14 tracks on the album. If this qualifies her as writing most of her material, I must live in a different world as the rest of you. So be it. Anyway, i... | |
| Norah Jones She hardly wrote any of the music she sang to get famous. Mostly all covers. When she started insisting on performing the stuff she wrote, her career sank fast. I happen to like her first two records, but I can't stand her writing. | |
| Best Band of the Big Band Era ? Virtually all of these bands can be seen on You Tube. Incredible stuff. Check out Peggy Lee with Benny Goodman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zRwze8_SGk | |
| STEALTH DREAM ROYALE They certainly are impressive looking. I just wonder how expensive one's system would have to be to justify that expense for cable as opposed to a component upgrade. | |
| Song With Best Beginning Rod Stewart "I'm losin' you" has a great beginning, with that awesome guitar riff and the Wurlitzer electric piano. The middle and the end are pretty great too. Of course, Procol Harum's "Whiter Shade of Pale" has that great organ intro. I may be ... | |
| Songs With Best Ending The song with the best ending is anything sung by Celine Dion, Cher and all the other hog-callers of their ilk. | |
| 80s Metalheads...sleeper picks Convict "Make My Day". One of the greatest metal records ever. | |
| Experiences w/ Black Cat Cable loudsp. cables? I purchased a pair of the Lectraline ICs and found them to be excellent. Very quiet and natural tone quality. Chris Sommivigo, the designer of the BC cables, also designed the Stereovox cables, but I don't know how they compared. Stereovox was out... | |
| What should I do That will undoubtedly be a killer combo, but just keep one thing in mind. The Grados are really, really open, meaning you can hear every noise in the room, almost as if you were wearing nothing. You'll have to listen to them as if you were listeni... | |
| Breaking in of CD player? Some people like to play a "break-in" CD like the Isotek on repeat for hours on end. That's one way. The other way is just to use and wait a couple of months for everything to sound its best. Keep in mind that there are many people who believe tha... |
