| Need Blues Rec--burn the house down guitar stuff For a live experience, you can't do any better than Stevie Ray Vaughan, live in montreux (2 DVD's set); sheer delight. | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? I have to go with Stanley Clarke. | |
| What are your favorite SACDs and why? Montejay,I saw the china copy listed on ebay as well. You can also get the complete 8 (I believe) DVDs series . I have it, but I keep coming back to the SACD, becuase they picked some excellent tracks and the sound quality is so much better. If yo... | |

| B&W 802 and Stillpoints I am not quite prepared to spend >1,000 for 8 x ultra for my two subs, but I am seriously considering getting 2 sets of universal dampers and put them on inverted (risers) as a cheaper alternative. | |
| Can you recommend some classical CD's for me? There is so much to recommend I would not know where to start. But given my taste for Beethoven, small ensemble music, and stellar SACD recordings, I heartily recommend Beethoven Piano Trio, Op. 97 ("Archduke"); Piano Trio, Op. 1, No. 3 by the Kem... | |
| the greatest pop song ever? Has to be a song by the "King of pop". For me "Billy Jean" wins the prize, with "Thriller" a not so close second. | |
| Two Jl Audio f113's or one f 212 Get two subs, set them up as a discrete stereo pair + LFE spread across the two. Then get an outboard (SVS / Audessey) 2 channel sub eqalizer, and you'll never look back. | |
| So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD? Steve, I agree. There are a lot of variables here making true apples to apples difficult. The closest I can think of is to get the Ayre Universal which plays all formats on silver discs AND had an asynchronous USB input, and then do the expirement... | |
| So could HiRez downloads sound as good as SACD? I did a little format shootout using high rez files from the 2L label. They sell SACD / BR Audio 2 disc packages and have the same material downloadable in 96/24 and 192/24. So using the exact same source material, I played:96/24 flac into bridge ... | |
| The Blues.... Funny. As an eclectic music lover that appreciates the blues among many other styles of music, let me offer an "outsider" observation. I walked into a Buddy Guy show in the Legend club in Chicago this january (one of the temples of Blues in the co... | |
| B&W 802 and Stillpoints Marc, I installed my Ultra's directly on the carpet as advised by Bruce @ Stillpoints. Works beautifully, more detail, and cleaner sound. Never expected this much improvement. I am using them with Verity Audio Parsifals. I am about to order anothe... | |
| Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals Tubegroover, when I posed my original question I was not aware of the Ultra's and considering to do what you are doing, i.e. put two stands under my Verities and use dampers and risers. I found out about the Ultra's and Bruce @ stillpoint confirme... | |
| Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals Installed 8 ultra's aluminum under my Verities. Note that I always assume all tweaks are snakeoil until proven otherwise and sat down with zero expectations. Also I have had little succes with vibration control so far in my system. I am happy to r... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 It would be interesting to line up the XA5400 against the $1000 Marantz SA8004 (which just got a rave review in TAS), and say the new Oppo 95 when it comes out. in general, I find shootout type reviews (i.e. line up a few contenders in a component... |
