| Todays new vinyl LP's better than LP's 40 yrs ago? It depends.I have heard head to head Classic re-issue of Charlie Rouse "Yeah!" verusus original and re-issue was better.But then again were talking Bernie Grundman doing what he can with original tapes,masters and stampers.it is a good point that ... | |
| Speakers For A Mini System Totems and little Ushers are great but I would also listen to I would think about Aperion.A few more bucks NHT SB or Classics that you can afford).Some times (like now on 'Gon)you can find a used pair of Quads.I have the $1100 self powered one in ... | |
| Parasound A-23s in mono or A-21 Dig deep and get pair of JC-1's used. | |
| Clint Eastwood's HiFi He don't have tell you what stinking speakers he's using PUNK!!! | |
| Wifi vs USB Good question.Seems like the streaming thing should work as long as wifi is working right and DAC quality is critical not how it get's there though this is assumption.Transporter of course is really good.Intriguing product is new Naim all in one W... | |
| Bryston 4B SST2 & a pair of B&W 803 D speakers You'll get so much more from the 803's.I sold the 803N and kept up on the D's though I haven't been back to chop to hear new Diamonds (I wonder if there worth price hike).Bryston is just a good solid amp that unless your in a church sized room sho... | |
| Whats on your TT tonight 2010 Any Venus LP of the 4 Archie Shepp LP's.Yeah I know (forgive me Neil Young) but digital done right can produce great LP's albeit with 60% less dynamic range.Yeah I know "24 bit Hyper Magnum" recording mixed down and then put onto wax but you get c... | |
| MIT Props... Not to poop in the punchbowl love fect but the block on the otherwise fine wire roll off high end and low end so mids seem to "POP" and with better midrange you say "wow that's better" when in fact you are getting less information.Change something... | |
| Speakers for 3K Zu,Devore is you want t good sound and to keep and budget down.Chazz | |
| Krell FPB and cast versions Yikes.You like it bright it bright.Not sure what cable you use but I'd try Cardas (tames mid "nasties").Might make everything tight given your taste.I like three things accurate bass,lush midrange,and bright top end.But Krell and Thiel is for some... | |
| B&W 804S + $2,000 used integrated I sold B&W,Mac,Krell etc 96-2001 just before 804S came out and go back and listen all the time at shop.That Music Fidelity would be fine and so would Vincent.But why the 804S?Forget 683's unless your going to flip them sometime.For me the keep... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Being jazz centric Ella for sure.Like the old joke goes you have her "sing the telephone book" and it would be great.Other jazz would beyond big names like Holiday,Vaughn,Dinah Washington,I would add Anita O'Day,Carmen McRae,Chris Connor,and of co... | |
| Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker Yeah it depends on the pre.It might be overkill.Some might want to use those Krells (or another amp they like such as the Parasound JC1 also400 watts) and then use passive pre so as to be able to attenuate volume not just a small amount and lose f... | |
| krell KSA 200S or 100S to drive mani 2's? I have a KSA 300 and the great thing about the KSA is should you get an impedance swing (I sold latter Krell FPB series fro '96-2001) some speakers that have stated specs like our nest seller B&W 803 was 90db @ 8ohm but that could go down belo... | |
| Mating Krell KSA 200-S w/ Krell KRC -3 preamp Not sure if KRC3 has problem my KRC2 has.Killer sounding pre one of the best they ever made but voltage output is really high.Again from previous question those 90's Krell pieces would be good for speakers that need power and maybe the KRC exacerb... |
