| Song with only "Wa" "Wa" for lyric? Call the restaurant and ask them. | |
| For You: THE most imprortant element... For me I think it's TONE that is true to life, so that instruments and voices sound so real you are fooled, if only for a moment. If I have that, I can live without dynamics, imaging, soundstage, bass extension, etc., etc., at least for a while. O... | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show It seemed that an inordinate number of attendees at this show were "in the industry" somehow. I sometimes got the impression that 1 out 3 attendees were members of the audiophile press. Jeez, who's left to be a customer? Anyway, the insiders buzz ... | |
| Trelja in New York Prfont, I saw the Dodson in there Sunday morning if I recall correctly. Could have been gone or not in use that afternoon. The Sony-Dodson combination is what I use personally so I noticed it. | |
| Why are EMC-1 s being dumped on market? As I understand things, if you see a lot of Brand X CD players in use in rooms, it may be because Brand X offered to supply these players, not because all of the exhbitors personally prefer Brand X. Thus certain lines tend to look "hot" for one sh... | |
| Trelja in New York The EAR/Silverline room had a Dodson DAC in their system. Unless they weren't using it, you were hearing the Sony as transport-only for redbook CDs. | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show I also liked the Dali speakers, but they were part of a system that was demonstrating the TacT room correcction system and TacT's "digital" amplifier, so it's not apples and apples. | |
| Power Cord Challenge My experience has always been that rapid switching obscures differences and should be avoided. For example, I can switch rapidly back and forth between the CD playback of my Sony 777 and the same playback using a Dodson outboard DAC. Hard to hear ... | |
| Worst speakers at Stereophile show The Egglestonworks Savoys are $30,000 a pair, I believe. they have a bigger model (the Ivy) which is closer to $100k. There were Verity Parsifals at the show? | |
| Audio Tekne No, but eager to hear what you think. They're very cool looking, aren't they? | |
| Power Cord Challenge I'm close to San Jose and very interested in the results of this experiment, but I don't like the idea of putting money on the line. Why is that necessary? Dan | |
| Trelja in New York My show report. Friday was pretty disappointing. I was annoyed at the layout of the hotel, the crowds, signage and labeling, and disappointed by the sound in most rooms. Plus, it seemed that more than half the attendees were either in the industry... | |
| Favorite of Dick s Picks Danlevy? I'll be damned!Not Dick's Picks, but I'm very fond of two Arista releases--2/11/69 and the Ladies and Gentlemen...4/71 collection. Great sound on the second one, and that particular configuration of the band (The Quintessential Quintet) w... | |
| Martin Logan Don t Rock Try to hear the Innersound Eros, an electrostat hybrid (bass is via a dynamic driver in a transmission line). They are $6K new. I had them in the house for an evening a couple of weeks ago. They did a lot of very impressive things, but the capper ... | |
| Basis or Michell GyroDec Thank you, one and all. Both the Arcici stand and the wall mounted stand are not going to work out, unfortunately. Dan. |
