How do you get the "real" feel of music?
Zaike, LOL, and sorry Bruce, brother in arms as far as old Sash is concerned, I am one mind with Z. as far as that Galbraith disk is concerned. I found it plainly musically uninvolving. We all hear and perceive differently, have different tastes a... 
Who's to blame for the Grain??
I find Zaikesman's advice excellent, because it does not swamp you with subjective recommendations, but tells you how to proceed carefully and objectively. After all it is YOUR ears and YOUR pocketbook. Grain is indeed a nasty thing to have and to... 
How do you get the "real" feel of music?
Thanks Zaikesman for again stating your points. I now understand better and I do agree with your statement about S's deus ex machina attitude. That was indeed uncalled for. For the rest I still beg to differ somewhat, for the simple reason that th... 
How do you get the "real" feel of music?
Zaike, I respect your opinion greatly and I grant you, that Sasha's post can be read and interpreted exactly as you indeed did, but I preferred to concentrate on the points he stressed to listen for, which possibly, as you stated, is "stock stuff"... 
Who are the Jazz Cats on Audiogon?
Count me in as well, please. I have it with Jazz probably more or less like Clueless has. Not exactly very first choice, but I listen to a lot of Jazz. Cheers and keep on grooving!

Chair or Sofa? Which do you use?
Sofa, because of the significant other(s)...... 
Yet another call for more Sale catagories...
Excellent thought, Zaike, I second this! Cheers, 
Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own???
Great ears hear alike, Shubertmaniac! Cheers, 
How do you get the "real" feel of music?
Sasha, what a beautiful post! When I started reading, I thought, prepared to be bored, well just another case of opinionated, self declared "expert" gibberish, however, what a joy, far, far from it! You are the first I've met, who openly stated, w... 
SACD - what gives?
Rcprince, you make a very good point, which Telarc do you suggest I should listen to and thanks, also to Mes, for your kind words.Cheers, 
Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own???
Gillar, "o'heocha" ????? Do they sneeze? Don't you need a stator, do get those sharp transients properly rendered? Just asking.... 
Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own???
I'll stick with what I have.....but if you twist my arm, well, two pairs of Sound Labs Ulimate firing from the front, one pair firing from the sides and a pair of plasma tweeters with each pair of Soundlabs thrown in. 
SACD - what gives?
Eddartfort, although I remain sceptical, I hope that you are right and yes, RCprince, I had hoped that you might come in here, because I wondered how happy you are with your highly modded gear and Mes, glad, that you are back in the game, never to...
