| What did he say? Misunderstood lyrics. "Pompatus" mystified millions when Steve Miller used it in his 1973 hit "The Joker": "Some people call me the space cowboy. / Yeah! Some call me the gangster of love. / Some people call me Maurice, / Cause I speak of the Pompatus of love.""Space c... | |
| What pets hang out with Audiophiles? I loves cats. I treat my felines with the same respect that I would impart to an international dignitary, i.e., Louis IV. Aside from exclusively using Evian in their water bowl, they're fed a diet of turkey and other premium meats. Regarding their... | |
| Vinyl's Noise Floor I thank you all for your responses.I was 12 the last time I heard vinyl, which was played on a mass-market Pioneer table in conjunction with similar quality ancillaries. Juxtaposing my aural memory with the sound of the Clearaudio Master Reference... | |
| Vinyl's Noise Floor Albert, although I'm almost certain I'll like the sound of vinyl, it would be prudent to start with a modest front-end in order to discern whether I do indeed dig analog. My prospective introductory rig will consist of a VPI Scout with the factory... | |
| What is the best Beatle Song "You're Gonna Lose That Girl". I recently discovered this gem of a song. | |
| Naim -- Fatiguing? Anne is quite correct when she equates "Naimophiles" with the Spanish Inquisition. Dare anyone speak ill of Naim, he/she shall be subjected to an auto-de-fa. But seriously, Naim gear doesn't lend itself to long listening sessions, partly because o... | |
| keep the LINN or get a NAIM If you don't like listener's fatigue, then eschewing all things British from your system is necessary. Every country "voices" their audio components as a reflection of their cultural mores, and England is no exception. For a system that's conduciv... | |
| keep the LINN or get a NAIM Hi, JoolzIf you're a fan of the British prim & proper philosophy, then the Naim is almost certain to please you. I've owned the Nait3R, which supposedly uses a superior potentiometer compared to the non-remote version, and found it to yield a ... | |
| Cd Player shootout ; which is the best of the best 1) The Wadia is a great player, but you might want to avoid its resolution-diminishing preamp. 2)The Electrocompaniet MKII is also a superb player. Although it can be a bit lean and ever-so-slightly bright, it renders a nicely textured sound.2) Th... | |
| I don't remember much, but I remember...... Hi, Tireguy.By jove!, I distinctly recall my first CD as if it were just 18 years ago...oh, wait; it was 18 years ago! (Looking skyward with a pensive countenance) One autumn day in 1983 "pops" picked me up from jr. high, and said that he bought t... | |
| Kora Hermes or EVS Millenium or Audio Note DAC One.1x? Papertiger, I've owned only one of the DACs that are on your short list, which is, the Kora Hermes (18 bit version). There are XRL and RCA digital inputs, but only an RCA output; that, by the way, can be adjusted from 2 or 5 volts via the toggle s... | |
| Looking for a new DAC -- Tube or not tube? I 'm glad you've mentioned the woefully over-looked and under-priced Kora Hermes DAC. The people of France (Kora's home) are deft at incorporating art with technologically advance components and design architecture; visit the Lourve and you'll see... | |
| Buy a DAC or buy an SACD player? The Kora Hermes, an inexplicably overlooked DAC, renders jaw-dropping sound for a mere $1500 retail. Interpose this chrome-faced converter into your system and you'll notice, without trying, that once unintelligible lyrics are suddenly fully artic... | |
| Recommend me a good psychologist Don't fret Pancho. You haven't gone mad. I infer from your contemplation of entering the conservatory that you are intimately familiar with the sounds of acoustic instruments. If this is indeed the case, your high resolution system maybe overkill.... | |
| best cd player for 2500- 3500 A pre-owned Goldmund 39 DA++ will satisfy virtually all cognoscenti of high-end audio. You'll be astonished at how vividly the mid frequencies are portrayed -- as well as delineated. Distinctly demarcated voices and instruments add yet to the over... |
