| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 "The EMM has a you-are-there feeling that the Sony does not."Well, that's sort of what it's all about, isn't it? Once you've experienced that in your hifi, it's very hard to go back. Of course, if you've never experienced a player that brings the ... | |
| best totem speaker Soundgasm, if you like to listen to loud rock, I think more watts is better, regardless of the speaker - unless you're talking about very efficient speakers like Klipsch and such. I listen to mainly acoustic music at very moderate levels, as apart... | |
| best totem speaker With a large solid-state amp, the Forests will work really well, but you should look into the Mani 2 as well. It is a really nice full-range speaker. If you like your music loud (I don't), the Mani 2's are the way to go. Soundgasm, at the NY Audio... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Speaking of hiss, in the recording studios, many musicians and engineers dislike Dolby noise reduction because they feel it makes the music sound dull for, among other reasons, removal of the hiss. Since the tape hiss is a constant, as opposed to ... | |
| Parastat/Solution I seem to recall with the Parastat, that it had an insert that you wet with water in order to add some humidity without actual dampness. I don't recall putting anything on the brush itself. | |
| Ayon CD5 vs Audio Aero Prestige I think the AMR is really BIG. | |
| Esoteric X03SE vs Ayon CD-2 or CD-5 Nisey - what are you going to buy to replace the CD5 you are selling? | |
| Millenium carbon fiber cd mat and Bel Canto CD2 Be careful with mats on top-loaders. One of the worst sounds on earth is hearing your puck dislodge and fly into the guts of the machine. It makes you cringe, much like the sound of an auto accident. | |
| Harbeth HL5 vs M30 I've owned both and I would never say the HL5 is more agressive than the M30. They bear a strong sonic similarity. The M30 was build as a BBC drop in, so the cabinet size was fixed from the start. The HL5 allowed the company to build what they wan... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I think people forget something - they have a given CD player and they optimize the system to get it to sound it's best. They select the right ICs and PCs, move the speakers around, etc. Then they substitute something new and little wonder it may ... | |
| Can any Oracle experts help me? You got a lot of guts buying a tt like that without knowing a good set-up person. Best of luck. | |
| Speaker stands height for Harbeth Compact 7es3 My dealer demo'd the Harbeths with the Epos ST-12 stands and I think they work very well. They are 20" high. If you absolutely need to go lower, the 18" Lovan Jazz are excellent for the money - about $140. I've used both these stands with Harbeth ... | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e "Do you think most owners will say anything negative about something they own and may want to sell in the future?"Well, that's certainly a possibility. It's also possible that the player is actually very good. I guess you might be forced into the ... | |
| Ayon CD2 is AMAZING The (s) stands for "slightly more amazing than the CD-2". | |
| How to tame brightness Might I ask - please name one or two recordings which you find too bright. Also, how far are you sitting from the speakers? |
