| marantz cdr500 recorder/playback quality I've just had a CDR500 for about a week now, and I agree with the above posts in that it makes excellent CD copies-- that's what I got it for. But is only mediocre as a transport. I haven't actually tried it direct to pre-amp, but run coax out to ... | |
| Will this FIM 880 open up & let some detail in? Nice detailed post Hdm. I'll just add a FIM follow-up to my "rave" review of the FIM 880 of a few days ago. Since then, I've gotten 4 more FIMs, put them on dedicated lines that used to have Hubbells, and plugged ALL my components into them. To ma... | |
| top 5 cd transport/dac cost no object I will nominate the Levinson M37 transport and M360S DAC-- from long personal experience. I haven't heard the really expensive Levinson Reference products, but have read reviewer comments that indicated they are only slightly better than the 37/36... | |
| The road to insanity... Been there too KP. I'll admit to Bose 501s (that's right Bose) in my early audio years, then JBL 700s, and the fist "good" speaker-- Vandersteen 2Ces. And like you, I rapidly picked up steam from there........and well, a couple of weeks ago I wrot... | |
| Now I know what they mean by a bright cable. Darryl; You just got good lessons in: 1. listening skills, and 2. system synergy-- congratulations!-- been there myself;>) Cheers. Craig | |
| What's the best 5 disc cd player for under 1,000? CAL Audio has (had?) a 5 disc changer that probably sells for under $1K used. Craig | |
| which is better 1.bit 256 sampling 0r 24/96 You don't provide much information. What components and system exactly did you listen to? If all were HQ components, wires etc., then go with the cheapest if you can't hear a difference. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? Good points above; I'd just add that maybe you haven't learned "critical listening skills"-- it does take awhile to become a skillful listener. Rapid A/B comparisons may not be enough time with each source. It took me 3 to 5 years to acquire what ... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Actually, I applaud Twl's beliefs, efforts, and persistence. It's probably people like him that do eventually make the major breakthroughs in any field of endeavor. But as I personally don't know diddley about speaker construction or theory (and h... | |
| Serious scare over hearing loss Scott; I too am sorry to hear about your brush with serious hearing loss, and glad to hear that it's looking reversible. In some respects, I can relate. A year or so ago, I had some seriously high blood sugar level readings-- lost a bunch of weigh... | |
| What is the future of amp technolgy? Purely an opinion of course, but I really think that all three types of amps (and hybrids) will continue to co-exist for a long time-- of course just in the high end community. A select sub-group of audiophiles will always swear by a pure tube app... | |
| Did I do the right thing? Jond; not being a wine afficianado, I think that you definitely made the right choice. A properly chilled Bud would be just fine with me. Enjoy the Music. Craig | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly Fact: I enjoy-- tremendously-- the music that comes out of my four driver speakers when I push "play"-- after suitable system warmup of course. I'm in Tim's camp. Cheers. Craig | |
| cornfedboy, signing off Hi Kelly-- and WOW! Like the posters above, I'll miss your incisive comments and sense of humor on the forum, but I'm also happy to hear that you're going to be a member of the A Team. I see it as being REALLY worthwhile to have a long time, card-... | |
| CD Recorder CD-R reliability-- that's a tough one. What it boils down to is "you pays your money and you takes your chances". I've owned/used 5 CD recorders:1. Pioneers 739-- excellent sounding copies, very versatile and pretty easy to use with good manual. N... |
