High-Resolution Audio (Battle of the Sound). What say you?
The latest Sonic Stinker of the Week award for new media selected for Tidal Masters (MQA) goes to The Dream Syndicate "Filter Me Through You".  It is a close call between it and Death from Above's "OUTRAGE! IS NOW".Anyone else picking up on JayZ's...

Why is it that we cannot resist starting and commenting on these types of threads? Never goes anywhere good...Dave 
Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL?
Also, the WireWorld Platinum Starlight cables can be very bright with certain components/systems as well. A very fast cable that demands careful matching IME. Don’t recommend matching them to a system already on the edge... Dave 
Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" drove me insane almost
Hi Erik,Ya gotta admit that there is significant spittiness to the trumpets panned far left and right on "So What" and elsewhere. The higher the rez, the more pronounced it is IME. I love this landmark jazz album but I always find that distracting... 
Comparing Classe' Audio's DR9 with Krell's ksa300s
Hi thehorn,Wish I knew but need to find out. I bought the three with the intention of passing one to my best friend (which I did) and use the remaining two running in dual bridged mono. The refurb-kit amp has such a different sound (and plays loud... 
Best universal disc player that has great audio reproduction?
You act like you are the first person to discover SR. Been using their stuff since 2009 and moved up the ladder to newer lines over the time since. On my second Powercell and wouldn’t be without one. I especially like their power cords and have ye...

Good deal. You may find that the Cardas ICs/PCs are holding your system back re: open sound and dynamics, but, as you say, that is all about system synergy and preference.Dave 
Comparing Classe' Audio's DR9 with Krell's ksa300s
stereo5 nailed it for Krell vs DR-9, although I find the Krell enjoyable and it will indeed give you absolute control over the woofers. I have the FPB-600c and the DR-9(s) and prefer the latter; sweeter, more delicate, lacking in nothing to my ear...

How did you use speaker cables on the Oppo? My recommendation was for the Cerious Graphene speaker cables only. I too use SR ICs and power cords. Still bad advice vs the MW Oppo mod. Have you heard that too? I have.I had and have no hopes of reach... 
Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles?
Hi artemus,There may be nothing wrong with the Storm 3. I have had that happen before installing the hi-level cable from the amp to the REL.Dave

Ha! A reminder of how the outside world must puzzle at what is written in the audio forums. lol Trust me, prof, collector car enthusiasts are every bit as fanatical as audiophiles. Dave 
Anyone Had Extended Listening Experience With MBL?
A tragically sad story indeed, prof. My personal story of material tragedy is the rich kid that bought my mint, numbers-matching 69 Z28 with the ultra-rare (500 produced) GM Penske/Donahue crossram racing intake, two Holly 585 no-choke double pump...
