| Internet Radio - help please I use a Logitech Touch, and run the coaxial SPDIF output into my Meridian G68 and the sound quality is really good, (much better than I expected). The Touch connects to the WWW via Wi-Fi through an AT&T U-Verse high speed gateway.I recently ac... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? I agree that multiple- channel is harder to set-up, but Audyssey and other digital EQ software solutions are making this less of a problem. The simple truth of home audio is that the room is the most important component, whether 2, 3, 5 or 7 chann... | |
| Oppo BDP 95 or BDP 93 Nuforce for cd redbook sound Hi, Bar81. A really nice rig ! Just out of curiosity, how does the Oppo compare with the EMM ? I haven't heard one, but I have great respect for Ed Meitner - he understands digital better than just about anyone. | |
| What is best VTA for Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge? Bif, I wish I knew why. My guess is the combination of low / medium compliance and an unusually long cantilever. I talked to Mike at VPI and he recommended a 3G weight in the headshell, and a heavier "outrigger ring" to stabilize the azimuth. I tr... | |
| Pioneer BDP-09FD As Good As They Say On Stereo? I've recently had a Pioneer Elite DV-58AV, a Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD, and now have a new Oppo BDP-95. The new Oppo is much better on CD than the Pioneers. It is probably the best CD player available until you get into the $5K Ayre player. (Ayre has... | |
| Best Classical Stations on Internet Radio I agree with Vladimir. Classic FM from London sounds great, and I love the accents !! | |
| What subwoofers keep up with Quad ESL 57 ? I'd try a Vandersteen V2W. Quad ESL-57's are Richard Vandersteen's reference speakers, and I'll bet he has done some tailoring for the Quads low end. | |
| Quality In Wall Speakers Revel's in-walls are very good, and reasonably priced (Concerta line). Their Concerta B120 sub is outstanding and compact in size. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Vandersteen 7's playing analog 50's jazz. Quad ESL-57's are a close second, but 1/100 the acoustic power, and (literally) half the bandwidth. I once owned a pair of Quad's paired with B-139 based transmission line subwoofers and Sequerra T-1 ribbo... | |
| Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no? Multi-channel is ALWAYS better than 2-channel with well-recorded sources. These will become prevalent with time, since 5.1 home theater systems have out-sold 2-channel rigs by a wide margin for sometime, and digital is becoming cheaper and cheaper... | |
| Oppo BDP 95 or BDP 93 Nuforce for cd redbook sound I've got a BDP-95 and I play it through the balanced analog outputs. Best CD sound I've ever heard. | |
| What is best VTA for Clearaudio Maestro Cartridge? Clearaudio MM's do not work well in wimpy unipivot arms - they push the arm around in azimuth too much. I sold my VPI 10.5 and bought a vintage Zeta Black. The difference was night and day. Get an arm that is stiff in azimuth, like an SME, and it ... | |
| Sophia 2 vs. Vandersteen Quatro Ever Wilson speaker I have ever heard, just like Thiels and many, many others, can do double duty as a paint-peeler. People who listen to live acoustic music and know what it sounds like, always prefer Vandersteens, Quads and Magnaplanars. Everyth... |
