| NAIM CDX2 Is there anyone here who's listened to both the CDX and the CDX2 who can comment on their differences? | |
| Diural's Roman Centurion Spk:Good or already Gone? I don't own them, but I did hear them at the High End show in New York in 2002. They were being played through a Plinius 8200 integrated amp. They sounded quite good; I went back a few times to hear them.If you think they are a lot of money for a ... | |
| The METERS....tight,funky vibes Actually, the Meters as an entity were inactive for quite a few years during the Nevilles' emergence. It may have been a period of a decade of senescence, while Art was busy with the Neville Brothers, before he and the other Meters decided to play... | |
| The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's I replaced my DQ-10s only recently, after owning them since 1976.Over the years as I improved my other components, including cables, I found the Dahlquists had a lot more good, solid bass than I ever thought they could have. It was a great experie... | |
| Speakers that leave room to upgrade front-end I recently heard some wonderful small floorstanders from Totem, the Hawks. They list for $2,200 but I have seen them used and it's possible you could get close to budget even new from a dealer.They were being played through a better-than-midfi sys... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Tequila: Chinaco reposadoCannabis | |
| BEETHOVEN'S LATE STRING QUARTETS I'm surprised noone has mentioned the Emerson String Quartet.Their complete quartets is fantastic. The late quartets are impeccable and exciting. I would certainly agree that anyone interested in this music should listen to the Busch and also to Q... | |
| Ok this will be a good thread. I guess I'm in the source camp but speakers are very close behind in importance.I churn my system with agonizing deliberation. Only recently did I part with my 26-year-old Dahlquist DQ-10s, which I had restored a few years ago. During those twenty... | |
| Speakers for Naim? I use a pair of Kharma Ceramique 2.2s with my Naim CDX/XPS and find them to be very happy together. At least *I'm* happy. | |
| For all of you who feel deeply about Keith Jarrett There's an excellent and congenial Keith Jarrett Yahoo! Group...see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/keithjarrett/The Polar Prize is meant to be the music analogue to the Nobel Prize. It's quite prestigious. Bob Dylan was awarded the prize a few year... | |
| Help building around Sony 9000ES SACD player? I recently heard some relatively small floorstanding speakers that were outstanding, the Totem Hawks. I was *really* impressed with them. They list for $2,200.00; I'm not sure what they'd go for used. | |
| Help building around Sony 9000ES SACD player? How big is your room? Do you want floor-standing or stand-mounted speakers, or some other approach? Musical preferences? Loudness preferences? | |
| Pre-amp match for Moscode 600 Lou, I went and read your comments about your Stephen Sank experience, which were quite different from my own.I sent him my amp, having spoken to him a few times about what I wanted. He did the work and sent it back. As it happens, there was a pro... | |
| Pre-amp match for Moscode 600 I have a fancy VAC preamp with my Stephen Sank-upgraded Moscode 600. It sounds sublime.I would recommend looking into a used VAC Standard preamp; they come up from time to time on Audiogon.Meanwhile, if you're interested in getting the most out of... | |
| HDCD: What do you like? All of the Roxy Music and Bryan Ferry solo albums were remastered in HDCD and sound fantastic, better than the vinyl. Try "For Your Pleasure".Joni Mitchell's catalog up through "Mingus" sounds fantastic in HDCD. For demo purposes (not to mention m... |
