| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Miles Davis Live in Europe 1967 | |
| cd players coming to us market Yes, there's an 8200CDQ in the classifieds right now for $900. That's a great way to save $500. | |
| Audiolab 8200CDQ Thanks Afranta. I've read those threads. I was actually hoping the OP would find them. John Westlake has gone on record to say that the Audiolab is the DAC he's been promising to make for ages, and that it sounds better than any other digital prod... | |
| Musical Concepts It's the nicest transport I've ever seen hands down. It looks like you could use it as a step stool it's so gargantuan. | |
| cd players coming to us market I have the Audiolab and live in Rochester NY. Just got it yesterday. Call my friend Bob Lietz at the Analog Shop in Victor NY. http://www.analogshop.com. Bob is a great guy and makes it very worth while to do business with him. I've never been hap... | |
| Audiolab 8200CDQ Audiojedi. I've only had mine up and running for two days now and haven't used the USB yet, only CD's. I too like the Optimal Transient XD filter the best. Hopefully I'll be streaming 24 bit this weekend if I can find a deal on a USB cable. I migh... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? Jaxwired. I didn't see you response to me from the other day. Those outriggers look like a great idea for your situation. I'm glad you like Herbie's because I have some Tenderfeet coming for my CDP and Big Fat Dots to put between my speakers and s... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? I totally disagree with Nsgarch's comment that decoupling is always inappropriate. With carpeting, coupling makes sense because the carpet pad drowns out the resonance. On a wood floor with floor standers, decoupling is the only way I've ever had ... | |
| The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers Because I can and I will. Any other post about buying speakers is replied to by asking about the listening room, etc. As soon as someone drops a $20k + price all of a sudden the important things don't matter and everyone chimes in trying to help t... | |
| Comparison of Devore silverbacks vs harbeth 40.1 I did the same comparison and ended up with Harbeth's but that's what worked for my room and my ears. If I ever get to start a second system (or have room for it), I would build it around Devore's. No doubt some amazing speakers. | |
| The search among the great ones - 20k+ speakers With that kind of budget, why does cost matter and why mention it? Sure, I'm jealous but not really come to think of it. You could spend $20k on speakers without ever realizing that there's $10k speakers that sound better. To give you an example, ... | |
| Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good? For me it matters only because I won't audition a piece of kit I don't like the looks of. As far as I'm concerned, my Harbeth's are the best looking speakers on the planet. I do not like fancy glossy gear. There's so much amazing gear out there th... | |
| Best treatment for speaker feet???? I would also consider contacting Herbie's Audio. They're not extremely expensive and they have a nice wide variety of solutions. If something doesn't work for you, they would take it back in trade for something else to try. Most importantly, if yo... | |
| Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa-"Don't Explain" Joe Bonamassa is a prick but he's a good and talented performer. I met him once and he's full of himself, but I guess he can be that way. | |
| Live Performances Gone Awry Dayglow. I know what you mean about Ozzy giving a karaoke version of Iron Man. I drove up to Montreal sometime in the 90's to see Black Sabbath's farewell tour. The entire band played perfectly with the exception of Ozzy's voice. I'll never forget... |
