How can Audio shows be improved? I would like to see exhibitors do two things:Put good signage in their rooms. If you want me to remember what I hear in your room, make sure I know what it is! Sound by Singer does an excellent job of this, with a large sign on the wall of each ro... | |
What is the best matching DAC for Sony SCD-1 ? Ralph Dodson told you that? Are you sure? | |
Best sound at Stereophile show. Which room? | |
Familiar with the Audio Legend The Legend guy always does a good demo at these shows. The room is darkened, the speakers are way out from the back wall, and he plays sparse, "pretty" music, most of which makes me want to puke. But I wonder what it would be like to actually live... | |
About those Roman Audio speakers at the NYC Show They were powered by Krell at last year's show, where they also sounded very good.I visited the Roman room on three separate occassions last week and was a little bit more disappointed each time. They have some kind of very real magic going on in ... | |
What is the best matching DAC for Sony SCD-1 ? I think the Dodson takes my 777 to another level. But personally I think the 777 is a mediocre CDP. And my opinion is different from Mgottlieb's (for the 777, not the SCD-1): it is "okay" as a transport, but not as good (with the Dodson) as the tr... | |
Best sound at Stereophile show. Minor correction: the sub in the Wilson room is called the Watchdog. If I ever buy Wilson speakers, I want David Wilson setting them up in my home. I wonder if anyone else can get as much out of them as he does. Not to mention he gives a great dem... | |
Attack of the Clones Harrison Ford was GOOD in the early films, which were full of whimsy and great humor and humanity. Attack of the Clones is self-indulgent crap, technology for technology's sake alone, which has no sense of storytelling, takes itself too seriously,... | |
What is the best matching DAC for Sony SCD-1 ? I use the Dodson but with the Sony 777, along with a second set of interconnects for SACD, just like harry. | |
Listening Through Walls at Show: Vodoo or Valid? At one point I was walking down the corridor on the second floor and thought I was certainly hearing live music. Turned out it was the Wilson room. The sound was indeed good in that room and if it fooled me from down the hall, they must be doing s... | |
Best sound at Stereophile show. Carl, I agree, I thought that was the best sound I heard. A too-brief and tightly controlled demo, unfortunately. For the size of the those speakers, what impressed me most was how lifelike and natural and engaging the solo piano sounded.Man, ther... | |
Best sound at Stereophile show. I thought the Viola room was pretty impressive myself. | |
Any feedback on the NY Audio Show NYH? I forgot to mention the new Meadowlark Swift. At $1095 the pair (or is it $995), these could be a hugely successful speaker. | |
Any feedback on the NY Audio Show NYH? My overall impression of the show is more good sounding rooms that I can ever remember. Few that are great, but many that are worthwhile. In the super value area, the Kikrsaeter/Blue Circle room is great.I also like the Totem Forest driven by a ne... | |
i finally hit the "G" spot on my T/T Yes, it was a joke.Levinson and his wife, the talented Kim Cattrall of Sex and the City, have a book out called Satisfaction, The Art of the Female Orgasm. I kid you not. |
