| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? I sold the sony lickity split...holy mother of GOD...SACD playback from redbook plus HDCD!!! Get one fast...re-finance your home if need be!!! | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Got my hands on the latest ML No.390S and I am running it direct...it is amazing...nothing comes close to this experience...even the best of us get sidetracked!! | |
| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables I gave up on Transparent cables for several years and tried almost everything else available...just went back to Transparent Ultra and reference level MM cables...aint no comparison, they are theee best cables made by man...period!!!!! | |
| Wadia 860, Levinson & Aero Cap Direct into Amp Finally broke in my Sony XA9000es Player and I find it to be world class for CD playback and same for SACD playback thru ARC tube gear and WWatt/Puppy system 6 speakers. Note-the more you read reviews (and purchase said gear) you come to realize t... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? JDaniel-I recently recieved my XA9000ES player and was disappointed with the sound vs my XA777ES player until I plugged it into one of the new Monster Cable power strips...Freakin Hell, what a difference in every respect...bigger soundstage, tonal... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Interesting Jdaniel, I have not been that disappointed with redbook considering most SACD's available incur PCM decimation during production and redbook recordings have improved markedly...I have some early 60's redbooks that are amazing. Some rec... | |
| Wadia 860, Levinson & Aero Cap Direct into Amp In a hobby where changing a power cord can make the difference between thinking you just purchased sonic nirvana or the worst piece of junk ever made, one must be careful when making blanket statements about gear! That being said, I have owned man... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Jdaniel-I suppose that's where system synergy comes into play...through Watt/Puppy 6's and ARC tube gear (don't forget the power cord HT AC-11-a must for Sony digital gear) it is uncanny how it lays out the orchestra with exceptional detail and ne... | |
| What makes a system compelling? It took me years of costly experimentation with both tubes and ss before I settled in on the new ARC stuff (which sounds more like solid state on the extremes but retains gobs of tube magic in the mids and how the images are portrayed..full, round... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Jdaniel...I know what your saying, however I get the desired effect with my ARC tube gear! | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? Dear Phasecorrect...I think it speaks volumes when a musician like Jdaniel seems to understand what I'm saying. He doesn't get defensive because he has no ax to grind or any deep seated psychological need to justify his rig! | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? "It's only the intellectualy lost who ever argue", would be yet another quip from the same source. Applies to this situation, don't you think ? In another time and another thread, we might have been friends. If we could only listen to each others ... | |
| What makes a system compelling? Slappy is so silly...ya gotta love him! I'm not sure, but I think he knows my gear has included a who's who list of the top brands both tube and solid state. That being said, tubes done well sound completely natural, dynamic and palpable with deep... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? One last note, the last time I heard W.C. Fields quoted was in Allentown, Pa. by a drunk outside a downtown chain store. I prefer Oscar Wilde or G.K.Chesterton. Afterall, "Being educated puts one almost on the level with the commercial classes"...... | |
| Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl? I don't even have the 777es anymore...I'm afraid some are missing the point. The intent was to begin a fresh look at an old problem in light of something I and others have found unique to the Sony ES stufff...nothing more. Since it has morphed int... |
