| Pictures At An Exhibition CD For the orchestrated version, I agree that the Reiner/Chicago version is one of the best and the standard all others are compared to. For the piano version, I prefer the version by Byron Janis on Mercury. The recording is a little thin sounding bu... | |
| Who are these crazy people? Hehehe, you're welcome Ncarv. As someone said to me the other day - "We need a sarcasm font for email." | |
| Who are these crazy people? I'm pretty sure Ncarv is being facetious guys. This is the way I usually listen to albums so I like this concept. I know the (former) members of Pink Floyd feel the same way as they were fighting against the release of individual songs from their ... | |
| Good news for tinnitus sufferers Interesting. How do they know rats are suffering tinnitus?Well, it's known that tinnitus is caused by false signals from the nerves in the ear to the brain. I would assume that they create the tinnitus in the same way that humans develop it - by l... | |
| Gremlins Emerge with Switch to Windows 7 CW,Sounds like that "Levels" tab may be a digital volume control (always a big no no since they trade resolution when controlling the volume). Try setting it to maximum and see if it sounds better.Dick | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... Pubul57,You're right. This will need to become more standardized and easier for this to take off ... and I believe it will. As an example, compare how easy it is to purchase and install an app on your smartphone these days with integrated app stor... | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... Do you need any special kind of software to do this? Perhaps my questions are so basic that I am going to have research the rudiments here.There are plenty of free programs out there to do this. EAC is a very popular one that tries to correct for ... | |
| Digitalmeisters - Thoughts on Olive..... You're right, there is going to be a LOT of dust in this area over the next year or two (at least). I think if I were going to get a stand-alone music server right now and didn't want it to be real fiddly, I would go to Sound Science and get one o... | |
| What is a decent first portable player ? John,My daughter and I share a Cowon iAudio7 and it sounds pretty good depending on the earbuds used (definitely don't used the ones supplied). In general Cowon products have a reputation for good sound. I stay away from the Apple products because... | |
| Can you identify these components? Never mind. I re-read your post and see that you already had the power amp identified. I guess I was thrown by the second picture. :) | |
| Can you identify these components? The amplifier might be a Belles model. Can't really see the front too well though. | |
| travelling speakers I'm with Kal. I'd bring my AudioEngine 2's (in their velvet bags) and an MP3 player. Or, if wireless was going to be available, I might unhook my Logitech Touch and bring it too. | |
| Adding tubes to SS system-Tube Preamp Amp or Int? Another solution might be to find one of the tube buffers that were sold for CD players (Musical Fidelity X-10) and try that. They still come up used here from time to time and I'm sure that somebody is still making new ones (not the X-10). This i... | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? Elizabeth,I'm so glad you responded! :) I was just about to remind folks that you had 3.6's. The room screen concept is interesting but I don't think my wife would agree. Nor does she agree with Audiowoman that my Vandersteen 3a sigs are cute. BTW... | |
| Tannoy VS Dynaudio This may be obvious but don't ignore the room (dealer vs. yours). If you can swing an in-home trial of the Tannoys and maybe the Primaluna too, and it still sounds better, go for both, sell the more expensive stuff and buy more music. Life's too s... |
