| Do I have to buy all new CDs? wsmatau: how old are the 300 cd's you have? most cd's released in the past couple of years are a good deal better sounding than those from the beginnings of the medium. to be sure, there are wide variations in sound quality among discs but few are... | |
| Need Advice:Richard Gray and Power Cords i'd get rid of the richard grey & buy a decent set of power cords. lots of 'em out there. review the threads & take your pick. | |
| Toslink VS. Coax For Transport to DAC neither is as sonically satisfying as aes/ebu or glass optical. if you don't have those choices, go with coax, but try for 6 nines quality if you want the best (e.g., acrotec digital line cable). | |
| Best solid-state amp made anywhere hey, i have a jrdg 8ti, which sounds great but ain't near as pretty as any of the burmester line. to my ears, tho, burmester electronics (@ least amps and pre's) are a bit too bright and analytical. they remind me of of the thresholds during the "... | |
| Must -have SACD's doesn't anyone else find it interesting that ALL the sacd's mentioned are available on other formats; i.e., none of these was recorded or originally mastered using sacd sampling? that, i believe, speaks volumes about this technology and the way it... | |
| How do Swans Divas Speakers Sound? oops! "spakers" = speakers. | |
| How do Swans Divas Speakers Sound? would you seriously buy a pair of spakers based on how they look and the advice you get from a bunch of biased strangers (myself included) ? if so, you'll get exactly what you deserve. it's been said many times yet bares repeating: don't buy it if... | |
| Best Holiday CDs? here are 2: anonymous4, o yoolis night (harmonia mundi-german pressing) ; carols for christmas (ryko-2 cd's-japanese pressing). these are both very good-excellent in performances/sound. | |
| Current CD playes and transports mig007: your responsive post is graciously self-effacing, tho nonetheless, still a bit wrongheaded. let me tell you where i am in this quandry. i own roughly 2000 cd's (and more than 2 1/2x that # of lp's). i currently play my cd's on an accuphase... | |
| Rowland Amps.....which one for me the model 5 and 7's have much the same sound quality ( the monos, of course, have bigger balls) . moreover, a 5 is virtually the same size as 1 model 7. if you have the room and a sufficient number of beefy friends to help position them, i'd go fo... | |
| Favorite Xmas movie ? last temptation of christ; great soundtrack by peter gabriel. also a challenging, underrated movie for xmas or any other season, IMO. | |
| Why is amp toroid humming? if the fan/rheostat is, indeed, the source of your problem, then your whole system is likely affected adversely. you might try various filters or conditioners but you're unlikely to rid yourself entirely of the ac/rf intreference unless you instal... | |
| Feedback on "Boltz" CD racks you might also want to look at billy baggs racks. i have 2 pro-1000's. they are very robust and quite handsome, IMO. | |
| Current CD playes and transports mig007: since you obviously are prescient, perhaps you might share with all us fools what the new format's going to be. i also assume that you advocate we all rid ourselves of our cd collections along with the transports that spin them, right? | |
| Best Gunshots if you don't mind moving off the ersatz-yiddish spelling discussion and getting back to the subject of this post: i recommend the 1985 telarc cd, "ein straussfest." it has some great gun shots, in addition to other amusing sound effects. BTW, kitc... |
