| What is your reference? Onhwy61's philosophy re: recorded music pretty much reflects my own in a practical sense. Can I borrow it? Having said that, I have played both acoustic and electric guitars for 40+ years, and am particularly sensitive to the different sounds of g... | |
| Who R U? Rayhall; nice to meet you on this thread. As a result of yours and Redkiwi's influence, I now have a Shirley Horn CD (re: Redkiwi). BTW she has a fantastic voice and I now understand where Dianna Krall got her "style". I also have 2 Ella Fitsgeral... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? ........some really good posts above, and I appreciate not being "attacked" for my preference for digital-- it's a personal thing. I do agree that you probably have to spend a lot more money to get HQ digital music than you do for HQ analog music,... | |
| Who R U? Fpeel; Is the common denominator of Hi-end audio and hang gliding perhaps "soaring"? Cheers. Craig. | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? .......my mistake re: the other thread I mentioned; see the thread "HOW MUCH $$ IN TT TO EQUAL...." Posted by Mailman. Under System Advice. Also, it looks to me like you are at where I was 2-3 months ago. I ABSOLUTELY HAD TO KNOW what the vinyl ju... | |
| Vinyl or wait for the new stuff?? Hi Myousiff; You have an excellent CD based system, I would say comparable to mine. And when done right,along with room tweaking, vibration control, good PCs and other wire-- as we have both done, DIGITAL CAN BE EXCELLENT. And that's not to take a... | |
| Who R U? Hi David; A good thread (I hope). I've posted some of my personal info. before, but will gladly join your thread. I'm from N.DAK, but have lived "out west" since 1963. Now 57, I've been married for 35 years and we have a 28 year old daughter who i... | |
| inexpensive CD recorder Note: www.crutchfieldelectronics.com | |
| inexpensive CD recorder I really like the Pioneer PDR W-739-- very versatile, and copies sound great. It's now $550. at Cruthfield, but may be less in some of the big chains. It has a 3 CD drawer on left that is programmable and record drawer on right. I did an LP awhile... | |
| Sonic Frontiers, what is going on?? I agree with Calvin's response above-- good assessment. Since SF was purchased by Paradiegm (sp?) Audio over a year ago, it is financially stable. I verified this with their Technical Rep. several months ago. In the two Stereophile reviews of the ... | |
| How much $$ in a TT to equal a midfi CDP Hi Mailman; yes, it can be done on a budget. A Music Hall MMF-5 TT from Audio Advisor is $500, comes with a $175. Goldring cartridge, and sounds great. Audio Advisor gives you a 30 day audition also. If you need a phono pre-amp, the Musical Fideli... | |
| Mapleshade Recordings..GREAT or what? Mapleshade uses no noise reduction on many (all?) of their CDs, and the tape hiss they leave in drives me crazy. However, I have some of their blues CDs that I really like and that don't have the tape hiss. But I returned several jazz CDs because ... | |
| Best system for ROMANCE Hi Cindy; A LOT of good suggestions above, but I agree with staying away from vinyl-- but only for the reasons stated. The system Trelja recommends would do it for me. I've owned Vandersteen 2Ces for years, and they are warm, forgiving, and inviti... | |
| CD Copies...why do they sound worse? Hi Hunter; When I first got my Pioneer W739 CD recorder, I was convinced that CD copies actually sounded BETTER than originals (actually different, and a sound I liked), but I am willing to back off that original assessment and now say that the co... | |
| Power Snake Mamba vs. Synergistic Master Hi Alexc; After putting in a dedicated AC and ground system, my whole system was too bright. So I put Syn. Res. on ALL four major components (amp, pre-amp, DAC, and transport) and the improvement was amazing. For the money, the Master Couplers are... |
