| Steinway Lyngdorf Loudspeakers? There's a "market" for everything, no matter how dumb. what I hate the most is seeing Steinway piano's name used like Gucci shoes. They're way more important and special than that. Nonetheless, this system is marketed like a new Gucci's latest pur... | |
| Steinway Lyngdorf Loudspeakers? Well, they're "the World's finest". What more could you need to know?Steinway is rolling in his grave. A national treasure is being deminished to a mere logo by its new corporate owners. Prayers are needed that the iconic pianos will be spared. Th... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player I agree with your evaluation. I really don't think that letting your MPS-5 run 24/7 for another week will hurt it. That'll get you another quick 150 hours or so. I've done that with mine.Dave | |

| Vienna Die Muzick flagship speakers I've now heard The Music three times and my early reaction to the incredibly smooth, transparent mids are still holding. Hopefully within a few more days the speakers will be ideally placed and I can put in an extended session to support a more in... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player I hope you don't mind me adding this to your thread, but attendees to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest can hear the PD MPS-5 at the Soundings/Sumiko/Rowland high-end room. They'll have a very good setup with the top Rowland electronics and the latest... | |
| Review: Playback Designs MPS-5 CD Player Rgs92, your findings are consistant to mine with my MPS-5, except mine got sweeter highs with more and more hours. (I'm around 350-400-hours now). I listen mostly through my speakers, but have a good number of hours logged on with my Woo Audio WA6... | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Jb0194, you responded to a phantom post on 8/31. Maybe that's the source of your confusion. If you equivicated your agreement with Newly, I've missed it. (I couldn't make sense of that response of yours because the subject post no longer exists, e... | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Mrt, I'm not interested in defining "improve" to you. You started that line and I'm not going down that road. You think that any change is an improvement, I must conclude from you examples. That's your perogative and I'm glad that you made that cl... | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Jb0194, your original vote for the dCS Scarlatti had no "might be" in it. You agreed with Newly, who was writing in absolute terms, specifically mentioning other brands that he had no doubt that the dCS was superior to. He's not reappeared here to... | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Mrtennis said:"i think that the sound of any component can be improved by changing caps and resistors, based on my own subjective orientation of 'improve'"If you believe that, then how can we talk?? You statement cannot be absolutely true, but the... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Wait 'til October Bill. After RMAF there'll be a bunch more jumping on board. ;-)Dave | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Mrtennis, I'm afraid that you confuse "improve the sound" with "change the sound". ;-)Dave | |
| Best Integrated, period. Compare the Rowland Continuum 500 to "the best" separates. It'll stand that test. Final selection will be a matter of taste and priority, but the Rowland will be a contender.Dave | |
| Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy? Jonathan Tinn told me that PD would be at CES. I'll write him to see which venue.Dave |
