| Clou Blue Jaspis for Senn HD 580/600 Headphones Sam; I have 600s. Where are these custom cords available? Cost? I'm interested in your question too. Thanks. Craig. | |
| Which monoblocks for bi-amping? Both Marantz and Parasound offer some pretty small, and relatively inexpensive mono's. I haven't heard them. And Classe' recently introduced (I think) 200 WPC tower type monos, but they might be out of your budget range unless you could find them ... | |
| Sound proofing listening room Insulation plus acoustic ceiling panels? Craig | |
| Recommend me a good psychologist Hi Pancho; you've apparently learned to listen to music using predominently the left side of the brain which is in charge of "intellectual or logical" matters. You need to re-order your listening priorities and re-learn how to listen with the righ... | |
| are we are own worst enemies? 50-60% of MSRP seems to cover by far the majority of items for sale. | |
| Suggestions For A DAC I've owned the Muse M2, and Adcom 600 and 700 DACs. They are all very good, but perhaps a bit "dated" in the fast moving digital world. But they will certainly improve inexpensive CD players. I haven't heard it, but based on reputation, reviews et... | |
| Sellers that don't respond Hi Dave; I understand and agree with your frustration as I've had that happen to me too. After 3-4 days though, I just give up and write it off. Could this person have sold his stuff that quickly and then forgot about the ads? If so very rude. But... | |
| Can upsamplers alter a CD's sonic performance? Well said Plsl, I agree especially with the second 1/2 of your post. Cheers. Craig | |
| What are the best CD-changers? California Audio Labs makes a CD changer (or at least used to) that is well regarded-- don't remember the model number. MSRP is in the $1500. range.The other possibility is to use a CD changer with digital out (preferrably coax) to an outboard DAC... | |
| What does "jitter" sound like???? Hi Phild; It's been my experience that when a jitter reducer is used, it removes some to much of the shrillness, edginess, and a harsh electronic sound of particularly low priced CD players. In my case it particularly improved the upper mid-range ... | |
| Leave it on or turn it off? Hi Glen; 1439 makes good points, but another possibility, and the one I use, is to turn the amp on in the morning to warm up, and off after listening at night. I have a McCormack DNA-2DX Rev. A (also 300 wpc, like your Classe'). It runs fairly hot... | |
| Preamp upgrade ARC LS5, SF Line 3, others? Tom; I own the SF Line 2, and auditioned the Line 3 in home for 5 days. These are both very neutral sounding pre-amps, ie they do not have a "tubey" euphonic sound at all. But they are very smooth, and soundstage and holographics, especially with ... | |
| Please help me choose CD isolation Hi Bmp; As Phild notes above, not all tweaks are beneficial. I put seismic sinks under my ML transport and DAC and was rewarded with tremendous detail-- but it almost made my ears bleed. PRaT also suffered significantly. At that point I was disapp... | |
| Melissa Etheridge, An Overview of Her Music Inscrutable; Yes, she has the energy Janis Joplin had. You probably know that M. Etheridge was considered a strong candidate to play the part of J. Joplin in a movie on J. Joplin's life-- don't know what happened to that. I'm a Holly Cole fan too.... | |
| Review: Lucinda Williams "Essence" Glen; I agree with JD in that L. Williams may have a country soul, but I don't consider this a country CD. As I noted above, I think it has elements of folk, blues, bluegrass, and pop, and I'd also add country. But like the Cowboy Junkies, this mu... |
