"The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? So much for "music hath charms to soothe the savage breast". Think I got it right this time. | |
Classe integrated or Musical Fidelity? Frmont: Have you auditioned the less expensive (and less powerful) Musical Fidelity A3? If so, what is your take between it and the A300 in regard to tonal characteristics? I have read that it is a bit drier, but this was just noted in a couple of... | |
Why do digital cables sound different? Pops or anybody: Is the Illuminati D60 the same as the currently advertised Illumination D60? I have been watching this thread, but have nothing to add as I will be purchasing my "first" coaxial cable shortly to add a Bel Canto DAC to my system. I... | |
MISSING THE POINT? I was referring to "new to me" music above and most of what I pick up used is not popular music, other than the Cowboy Junkies and Henri Mancini (he's popular isn't he?). I would not be as successful (I think) picking up popular music used as I ha... | |

"The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? I assume that almost everyone closes their eyes when evaluating gear. What is the big deal? Are we not supposed to ever view the gear before evaluation. I would love to partake in the blind auditions. I used to be able to identify any of a dozen b... | |
