| What's everybody listening to this evening? I'm about to fire up a compilation CD-R I did that I call "Country Angels"-- love it. It includes such artists as Eva Cassidy, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Lucinda Williams, Cowboy Junkies, and many others. ... | |
| Great service from Mark Levinson and Madrigal I agree too Sgr. I've purchased 3 USED Levinson components in the last 2-3 years, and Todd Sutherland, Customer Service Rep. at Madrigal quickly got them registered to me for remaing warranty purposes. I really appreciated that and my hat's off to... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Trinity Session Gold CD......Where Hi Craigt, this is Craig G. The Gold CD of the Cowboy Junkies Trinity Session is no longer in print-- hasn't been for quite awhile. It was a DCC recording. I had a couple of i-net music search places try to find me one but with no luck. It occasio... | |
| Diana Krall - What is your favorite CD of hers? "All For You", her tribute to Nat King Cole. | |
| Reaching the end of a music collection T; I've occasionally wondered the same thing as you are expressing. For me, the possibility of finding exciting new artists or music that I really like is what keeps me looking for and buying new CDs. As an example, this year I "discovered" Alliso... | |
| CDR Fidelity? I agree with Ejlif and Dopogue. And use a Marantz CDR500 Professional recorder (dubbing). I either cannot tell the copies from originals, or sometimes even think that the CDRs are better, ie smoother. But in a blind test, I'm sure I couldn't tell ... | |
| What is your "evaluation cd"? Two favorites are Lucinda William's HDCD disc "Car Wheels On a Gravel Road"-- great soundstaging on a few tracks and excellent female vocals; and JJ Cale's CD "Guitar Man" for PRT, dynamics and natural male vocals. I also agree with Thefalls re: L... | |

| Digital world - why have a preamp? H; I think your assessment is mostly accurate, but only assuming you have excellent DA conversion and volume control as Lazarus points out. That said, following a trial of running a Sony XA7 CD player direct to amp, I very happily went back to my ... | |
| From tubes to solid state I built my system around a tubed pre-amp and big solid state amp, then tried a Stereophile Class A tube amp for 30 days. It was "nice", but when I went back to my SS amp, I said WOW. The SS amp was much quicker, more dynamic, and definitely had mu... | |
| best used amp pre-amp combo for a grand I agree with Tracer on the DNA.5 amp, but if you wanted to add the tube effect, you could substitute a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 hybrid pre-amp for the Micro-Drive. This might put you a bit over $1000., but I don't think by much. Good Luck, and Cheers... | |
| Cheap speaker tweak KT_88; Nice thread, thanks. Cheers. Craig | |
| Any one else have this complaint? Tim; I can see where the terminal location on your Avalons could make changing speaker cables a bitch-- and those are heavy speakers. The Vand. 5s have terminals about half way up the back panel, and I've always considered that a downside as I nee... | |
| Is upgrade from Mark Levinson 36 to 360S worth it? Hi Mitch; If the rest of your system is at or near the quality of the 360S then you'd hear a "worthwhile" improvement over the older 36 series, ie veils lifted, more dynamic(s), more natural, but overall, just plain more musical. IMO, the 360S is ... |
