| Is SACD really this lousy? .......I hasten to add-- I have never heard YOUR system. I bet it is SPECTACULAR. Craig. | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Albert; I enjoyed your well written post (just above). It describes very well how many LP users/lovers must feel. But I must respectfully disagree with one of your conclusions, ie "built on a format that has reached perfection......". Perhaps this... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? David; as I enjoy reading about stereo matters, and would like to follow up, would you please cite the "studies" to which you refer in your above post. Thanks. Craig. | |
| Source of Brightness Fpeel brings up a good point re: tubes. I hadn't changed the tubes (6 6922s) in my pre-amp for a year+ and my system was starting to give me headaches. I changed tubes, broke them in, and all was well. It really did make a huge difference, but tub... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Carl; Yeah I use a SF Line 2-- very neutral but with body. I like the additive effect of tubes. The high-end IS expensive. My overall strategy has been to get the best possible digital playback I can afford. (I think I'm there). The ML 360S DAC (e... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Hi Carl; Again we were posting at the same time. I appreciate your stepping in as "mediator". I certainly have nothing against vinyl, but I've chosen digital-- and as of now it's sounding pretty darn good (I just got an ML transport and DAC-- used... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? David; My friend works long and hard to make a living and quite frankly doesn't usually have the time to fool around with vinyl, but he can get some listening time in with CDs. Other than this comment, I now give up. You win. Have a nice day. Craig. | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? David......Diana Krall and Natalie Cole sound different from each other, but one is not "better or worse" than the other-- personally I like them both-- as I do good vinyl and good digital music. Whether either of us likes it or not, in the early ... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Carl; we were posting about the same time, so I just caught yours. Good Advice; I'm heading for my stereo now. Happy Freedom (of speech etc.) Day. Craig | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Jm is right David. Why don't you drop the snotty, superior attitude? Usually I find your posts intelligent and interesting-- what happened? He asked a legitimate question about a DIGITAL music concern. Good digital sounds different than good analo... | |
| Best CDR ? The Pioneer W-739 CD recorder produces copies that are as good as the originals. It is easy to use, and very versatile. What more do you want? Or are you high-end snobs scared to death of the words "consumer grade"? Have any of you actually tried ... | |
| Best CDR ? Hi BmcCormick; I have a Pioneer PDR-W739 CD-R/RW ($725 list) that I bought from Crutchfield for $600. With 3 CD drawers on the left, and a CD Record drawer on the right, it is very versatile and easy to use, ie you can put together a "program" usi... | |
| Biggest Sonic Improvement Good post Slowhand. 1. After installing a dedicated AC system (and ground), my system was much too bright. Installing Synergistic Research Master Couplers on amp and pre-amp corrected this such that music quality/character became great. 2. Replaci... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Great post Rayhall. You really have a nice system, and BTW, I also have Vandersteen 3A sig. speakers-- so we both have good taste (at least in speakers). You certainly have have had a rich and varied life both in and around music, and I can unders... | |
| Sealed vs Vented enclosures ..... Vandersteens "don't need no 'stinkin' enclosures". Ummmm Goooood! |
