| Are Sony SACD Machine Owners Crazy?? I wonder if that's SACD per se or just the sound of the Sony units. Art Dudley in Listener has commented that he hears almost no difference between the SACD playback of the several units he's reviewed, but I find it hard to imagine that there woul... | |
| Best acoustical guitar - any type music Here are two I like:Sergio & Odair Assad play Rameau, Scarlatti, Couperin Bach. This has been in heavy rotation at my house for years. (Their sister Badi's Solo album on Chesky is good, too--great sonics.)Eduardo Niebla & Adel Salameh, Med... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? I wouldn't know how to create such a disk, but I would put up some money to get it produced. Anyone interested?As I thought about this, it occured to me that we might be able to capture noteworthy sonic signatures as well. Going out on a limb here... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? No bass problems, actually, so that suggetsts no impedence mismatch. I need to experiment with cables and will also try power cords.Wouldn't it be great to have a concise set of rules of thumb for system problems? Guidelines for identifying an imp... | |
| Cables that cost more than the speakers? Yes. The notion of a chain being only as strong as its weakest link does not really apply to audio systems, in my experience. Because it seems that you can always improve the sound of the system by strengthening ANY of the key links, even the stro... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? No, I own the piece. To tell the truth, I don't know what tubes are in it. I'll have to open it up and check. | |
| opinions on Coincident vs. HT Pro9 I just ordered a pair of Coincident interconnects based on all buzz about them around here. But I have used HT interconnects and speaker cables in various places in my system over the past couple of years and through many system changes. They are ... | |
| Vpi 19mkIV or linn sondek 12 Oh, and in this price range, what about Basis, Michell and Rega tables? All are supposed to be excellent. | |
| Vpi 19mkIV or linn sondek 12 Hey Kublakhan, are you bl@#%ing this Salvatore guy or what? :)Am I mistaken, or is there not a single solid state product among his recommended components? | |
| Best Video cable for picture quality? Slightly off topic, but I'd like to improve the quality of the signal I'm getting from the wall into my digital cable box. This is 75 ohm coax I believe and I'm not sure what they call the connector they use (short, thin, stiff wire). Benefits to ... | |
| What is the Sound of Impedence Mismatch? Thank you, gentlemen. I am playing with a First Sound Presence Deluxe tubed line stage, which has an output impedence of 1700 ohms. It's very happy with my CJ 11a at 100K ohms input impedence. But with the Pass X-150 (spec sheet says 22K balanced,... | |
| SACD s to die for Yes, it is a disapppointment.I keep waiting for the floodgates to open and the new SACD titles to come pouring out. It ain't happening.The Red Rose is the best sounding of the SACDs I've heard, but it's such simple stuff, how could they miss? | |
| Room correction in high-end system??? I know exactly what you are saying. Room correction is such a radical departure from the way I have approached building my system that I'm not sure I can handle the change. It feels like my options will be somehow more limited, I'll have fewer pla... | |
| Room correction in high-end system??? Kelly, can you say more about that "too perfect" quality?-Dan |
