| Album of the year? Agree about Shelby Lynne, it really is terrific. Also David Gray's "White Ladder". | |
| dCS vs. Dodson DACs By the way, I ended up getting the Dodson, but it was a tough call. I think dCS is a terrific company and well worth hitching one's wagon to. The Dodson DAC is wonderful and better priced, but not as future-proof. | |
| Audio Critic 10 lies>>>>>>>>>> Thank you! | |
| Ayre V3 owners. What preamp do you use? The impedence mis-match you need to pay attention to is the preamp's OUTPUT impedence and the Ayre's input impedence. The Ayre, at 10K ohms, is definitely on the low side.You want a preamp with an output impedence of 1K ohms or less, as I understa... | |

| Red Rose or Audio Prism? I've been to the Red Rose shop in New York. Both of their rooms at CES last week sounded similar and excellent. One may have been tricked out (at the SACD pavillion), but the other I think was not. | |

| Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments? After calling Khrys a girl, I'd say you may have a bit more backpedaling to do, Treed. Most women take offense. | |
| Best Sounding Passive Preamp You should look at Placette. Not as inexpensive as these others, perhaps, but state-of-the-art sonics. Plus, in-home 30 day trial. | |
| Rock and Roll Snobbery Good post, Jim. I often have very musical experiences with poor to middling stereos, even sometimes with my girlfriend's dreaded Bose Acoustimass, and certainly in the car. The sound gets out of the way, and I hear the musical line, the gestalt of... | |
| Tinnitus anyone? Not specific to tinnitus, but there was an item in the recent S'phile (I think) about the Audio CD from Digital Recordings (digital-recordings.com). This is a self-administered hearing test from 20Hz to 20kHz (audiology tests normally stop around ... | |
| Patricia Barber and Stereophile Even on Cafe Blue the drums are spread too far, IMO. | |
