| Rega Arm mods-is it really woth t it? You just got the arm and you really like it. Why don't you enjoy it for a while before you think about anything else? | |
| Which Harbeth Speakers That's probably true, but it doesn't mean you'll like them better. As I said above, the SHL5s sound bigger and are somewhat more forgiving. So many people around here are worried about "detail" and then end up whining that their systems are too fo... | |
| Which Harbeth Speakers All excellent for acoustic music. The SHL5's have this wonderful big sound and are very forgiving of the equipment and less-than-perfect source materials. IMO they are much more coherent and open than the C7s. The M30's are very nice, but not as m... | |
| The Worst Performance Ever - Really I think that back in the 60's many record companies were paranoid about missing the next big thing, so they signed and supported many acts that would never have otherwise survived. And thanks for the kind words Lindifarne. | |
| REVIEW: Ayon 07s cd player I've always liked the whole top-loader CD thing. There's something organic about putting the CD on the platter and putting the puck on and all. Sort of like putting on a record. The process is part of the enjoyment, IMO. Enjoy your new player and ... | |
| New VPI 3D Arm I have no experience with this arm, but it surprises me when people pre-order a brand new product from any manufacturer, which is almost sure to have bugs of one type of another. You guys have guts. I like to wait until something has been out in t... | |
| Getting into SACD I would buy a Doge6 from Pacific Valve. 30-day money back, but you won't return it. There's a reason they virtually never come up for sale. | |
| 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 |
