| Tube Integrated with Headphone Dared i30. | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album I thought album titles go in single quotes, while song titles go in doubles, as so:"Money" from 'Dark Side of the Moon'BTW, I'm digging last year's 'The Whirlwind' by Transatlantic. | |
| A major disconnect between the audiophile magazine Excellent version of "Echoes," BTW... though it's hard to find a bad one. (Also, check out "Any Colour You Like" from the Boston 1975 ROIO-- you'll just feel like you're stoned. | |
| Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation? Two nights ago, listening to a live version of Pink Floyd's "Any Colour You Like" from a 1975 ROIO (recording of unknown origin)called 'Echoes in the Gardens' (Boston garden)on a Mac laptop while watching the 'Visualizer.' Proof that it's the musi... | |
| Musical Fidelity V-Can Headphone Amp I had a X-Can V3 and felt that the X-PSU made an easily audible improvement and was a worthwhile addition, especially for $200. However, there are lots of tube amp alternatives; a visit to head-fi.com will give you some ideas and/or make your head... | |
| Bring on the criticism... I did this when I blew the tweeters in my JBL L88's in the '70's. Removed the tweeters and sent them to JBL for repair/replacement (which they did with no charge, even though I was not the original owner of the speakers. Wow!) Anyway, I had a mont... | |
| Recommend a DAC Bear in mind that transport does make a substantial difference. I bought a Reimyo DAP-777 DAC (for $2400 on A'gon), but could not get the sound I expected until I upgraded transport from a Sony DVD player to a Theta Jade. | |
| Is Cary 306 SACD PRO an upgrade over Reimyo DAP777 This is tough to answer given all the ancillary gear involved. I have a DAP-777 (Mark I) fed by a Theta Jade transport. I listen exclusively thru headphones (Sony MDR-R10) fed by a Ray Samuels Raptor tube amp. Listening thru headphones in this set... | |
| Doors Documentary 5-12 on PBS Thanks much... just set the DVR. I was a tepid Doors fan until I read a couple of Jim Morrison bio books a couple of years ago. Having that background adds a whole new dimension to the music. (Plus I love the Oliver Stone movie). | |
| roger waters taking the wall on the road...yes/no I saw the original at Nassau Coliseum in February of 1980. The ticket was the most I had ever paid for a concert-- $15.Good show from what I remember (lol). No encore, tho-- stage littered with cardboard bricks. | |
| Leben CS-300 compared to Red Wine You might want to contact Vinnie Rossi at Red Wine and ask him, or maybe inquire about a loaner. I can't speak for Vinnie, but I've met him at a couple of head-fi shows in the NYC area, and he's a really nice guy. | |
| Is there a good 5 disc CD player out there ??? If you're thinking about a typical ("low end") 5-disc player feeding a DAC, bear in mind that the transport has an ENORMOUS influence on the sound, and you will not get the full potential out of a good DAC. I've used 5 or 6 different players/trans... | |
| Need help identifying these cool speakers? They look quite a bit like Moth Cicada's, but not exactly. | |
| Quick poll How long have you been in this hobby? Pioneer SX-838 receiver, Dual 1229 TT with Shure M95ed cart, JBL L-88's and a Wollensak 4765 cassette deck. Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Yessongs... man, that system rocked!Today, I'm headphone-centric, with a pair of Sony MDR-R10 headphones (the sill... | |
