| Who Are the Best Young Lions of Jazz Today? I was thinking this was a good one for you Duane. Me and Duane just sat about 10 ft away as a group of us circled Rudresh Mahanthappa, Mark Dresser and Gerry Hemmingway as they played a couple of very memorable sets for us at a free concert at the... | |
| tubes and rock and roll, good fit? I was thinking the same thing. Your system doesn't already rock? I mean when I look at your system I can't imagine there must be much if anything lacking. | |
| Von Schweikert opinion and help. Wow the original Mk1s are better? Did someone say that? They are like 4000.00 more. I had the Mk1s and I thought they sounded pretty great. I could never get the bass quite right in my room. Lots of deep bass but not to much midbass. I'd say 5000.... | |
| ProAc fans? If your room is small you should do good with the 1SC I would think. I had both the D2 monitor and the D-15 floorstander. Overall I'd say I like the D2 better. The D-15 overwhelmed my bedroom and didn't quite do it in my living room. The Tablette ... | |
| Static noise connecting DAC via toslink It seems like there is something wrong that simply changing from plastic to glass cable is not going to fix. I have had the same issue intermittent. I could never figure out exactly what was causing it but mine was very loud not just faintly a par... | |
| Ayre v-5xe or parasound jc-1’s? I've owned both and I like the JC-1s better. They have more authority and drive and are warmer and just plain sound a lot better I thought. I'm sure that they have a lot more power has a lot to do with it. I love Ayre gear but the V5xe just didn't... | |
| Dunlavy SC VI's... Yeah those are some very impressive speakers. Massive would be an understatement. I would also consider a used pair or a set of the 5s, the only thing is what do you do if you have a problem? I thought that the drivers where very carefully matched... | |
| The truth about Apple/iTunes volume control? Which USB DAC are you having trouble with? | |
| If I like St. Germain I'll like...... I think you might like Tortoise, especially TNT. Cinematic Orchestra as well. Moby and Gnarls Barkley as well have a similar vibe if maybe in a little more of a pop sense. I've always shied from the most popular stuff and mined deep for the more o... | |
| Why aren't all CD players also DAC's? I think they should too. | |
| can wadia i170 house IPod in protective case? Yes mine works in a case, in fact I have a few different ones and they have all worked fine. You just have to be a little careful with it just like any docking station. | |
| Sonicweld Diverter - USB- S/PDIF Converter That is weird. No way do I think my Wadia doc with an ipod sounds better than my Mac Mini or even my iMac streaming to an Apple TV. I've tried a bunch of USB DACs as well as use the Bel Canto USB link. I think the link sounds a little better than ... | |
| Just when I thought digital could not match analog Does Larry Moore have any affiliation with DB Audio Labs? | |
| help with speakers that rock, pleeze That is a pretty big room and those are some pretty small speakers. It's not wonder they don't rock. I would look for some speakers that are Full range or try adding a sub and see if that gets you closer to what you are looking for. | |
| Modern Jazz Pianist recommendation Duane, I guess I don't have any real favorite new Shipp releases my all time favorite is the Duo (yes duo) with Matt Maneri call Gravitational Systems. As far as Iyer goes they are all good. Another major favorite I stumbled across is with Iyer in... |
