| Linn Akurate CD vs. others The Linn Akurate CD is just a Unidisk 1.1 minus all of the video circuitry. Neither piece sounds as good as the now discontinued Sondek CD12. The new Klimax DS is said to handily beat the CD12 and the Akurate DS is considered equal to or slightly ... | |
| How to switch between two pre amps & 1 power amp Reubent is right on the money. | |
| Video Question: Plazma or LCD??? At this point in time, no LCD's can compete with plasma's superior black level (especially the Pioneer Kuros). Even the best LCD's look flat and somewhat washed out by comparison. LCD has made great strides recently in improving refresh to reduce ... | |
| Best value speakers available Vandersteen and Magnepan have been the best values in high end for decades. I'm biased on the Vandersteen because I sell them, but the reason they are such a good value is that nearly all of the money is spent on the guts and not on the looks. Thi... | |
| Hard Drive/Computer Audio at the SHOW and CES Those who claim to hear differences between lossless and WAV, can you please describe the circumstances where you discovered the difference? Where did you source the music? How did you convert to lossless (what software)? What equipment did you pl... | |
| The best digital audio out of coaxial, or optical? Coax is generally superior to the plastic Toslink cables. Those that use a Quartz or Glass conductor can be very good, however they tend to be much more expensive.One nice thing about optical is that it does not link the grounds of the two compone... | |
| Sooloos music server: Anyone hear, anyone a dealer VRS and the Memory Player both have the same capabilities as the Sooloos. No they don't. NOTHING I have seen has the same capabilities as the Sooloos in terms of the quality of the touchscreen and the GUI. VRS has a website that is basically down ... | |
| Sooloos music server: Anyone hear, anyone a dealer Tbg,I think that you are focusing on sound quality, which I normally do to, but in the case of the Sooloos, it's all about the interface and software being head and shoulders better than anything else. All of the typical music server GUI's show yo... | |
| Whats your "best of CES 2008" MBL had incredible sound (even though the guy running the system on Wed. was a schmuck). | |
| Tube sound with no tubes Good modern tube preamp designs will have years of ZERO maintenance. The small signal tubes make very little heat and have a life expectancy of between 4000 and 10,000 hours. Also, when it is time to replace the tubes, they are plug and play. If y... | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green I'd take Jimmy Page over Clapton or Green, even though I like those guys too. Freddie King was the man though. | |
| Who is your favorite blues guitarist can't help but plug Greg Koch a couple more times. Check out these:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYBAqPcKmU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsRUHFmPj3A | |
| Who is your favorite blues guitarist Freddie King was a demon of a player and singerGreg Koch may be the most talented living guitar playercheck him out screwing around live at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQQIT4SJHpY | |
| Sooloos music server: Anyone hear, anyone a dealer Just to follow up...I did get to hear a Sooloos running a rather high end system at THE Show (sorry, I can't remember the name of the gear) play some familiar material and the sound quality was easily as good as what you would get from a normal co... | |
| Sooloos music server: Anyone hear, anyone a dealer The Sooloos was being used in a number of rooms and was very impressive. The touch screen interface is superb. It is dramatically more responsive and than most touch screens. The GUI is also the best I have ever seen. I understand that they get th... |
