| Early 90s digital: whatz up? I think that you are absolutely correct - all the re-mastering in the world will not help an originally poorly recorded work. Check out some of the Early Ry Cooder recordings; good on vinyl, good on disk. I have never heard a poorly recorded piece... | |
| tube amp suggestions Why not go with BAT for the amp as well? Others to consider; Conrad Johnson, Audio Research (not my favourite), Cary, Blue Circle (definitely my favourite). | |
| I need a quiet tube amp Blue Circle Hybrids - BC24, BC28, BC206 - will do the dance VERY nicely with your ProAcs. | |
| First time for this, opinions please. Absolutely changing cords with power still on would cause this!!! An unfortunate occurance to be sure, but not your fault, NOR your responsibility. This would be like selling a used car, then taking responsibility for the repairs caused by the new... | |
| Levinson 33 Archaic???? Your buddy is obviously more interested in numbers (which by the way can mean very little, depending on how they are used) than in actual audio performance. Is Crown better than a Levinson 33? No. Louder? Maybe, but who cares? | |
| What is the best DAC for Mark Levinson 37 ? You should be able to find a used Levinson 36 DAC (maybe even a 36s) for that. Levinson transports usually match up best with Levinson DACs, they tend not to be stellar with others. I am sure that there are exceptions, but I have not yet encounter... | |
| Is this the ultimate 2-way speaker design? Now Maxxc - he actually said that the Verity Parsifal is a hot-rodded version of the Epos, not the other way around. Having said that, the rest of this is nonsense. There are tons of small monitors that will chew up and spit out the Epos in a hear... | |
| amplification match with MartinLogan Ascent i ESLs Blue Circle BC28 - an excellent match for your preamp and speakers. | |
| Diana Krall, Norah Jones, Jane Monheit....? Another big vote for Cassandra Wilson!!! Judging by the others you mentioned, you might also want to check out Eden Atwood and Carole Welsman. you might also like Robbie Williams "Swing while you're winning" CD. | |
| Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this? Sounds like a poorly set up system (was it even warmed up before you got there?) and a mismatch of components to me. Not an unusal set of circumstances in an audio store. Once you get your gear to a certain point, and properly set up, it is hard t... | |
| I've finally lost it Okay, so you've been bitten by the vinyl bug. It happens to us all at one point or another, and there ARE worse things in life that could happen....If you are serious about spinning records, I would suggest a modest start. I know of several people... | |
| Comparing Wadia vs. Meitner Tireguy:Agree with you 100% - well almost ;-) These firefights serve no purpose in terms of enlightenment, and in truth, both the Wadia and Emms gear are exceptional. After that, to each his own. Having said that, I've done the Emms Labs/Wadia sho... | |
| CD's for auditioning Mike:I think you raise an excellent point - there is no use in auditioning equipment with music that you don't listen to. Ever notice that sales personnel can get pretty antsy if you try to use your own CDs? A well recorded CD can go a long way to... | |
| Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables??? Dan/Doug:Cool - now we're getting somewhere! My room setup is as follows; the room is 15x14, in a basement with a concrete floor, and concrete walls on three sides (front, back, and left side where the gear is postioned). The room is drywalled on ... | |
| Is there anything better then Sunday Morning Jazz? Sunday morning sex, followed by Sunday morning breakfast (the bigger the better), followed by Sunday morning jazz, then followed by a short Sunday afternoon nap, is better than mere Sunday morning jazz. Having said that, Sunday morning does seem l... |
