| Review: Lucinda Williams "Essence" Hi JD; I like "Essense" also, and your review is excellent. And to me, it's a toss-up between "Essense" and "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" as to which I like better. "Car Wheels..." was released in 1998 in HDCD, but the only way you'd know that is ... | |
| What is the cause of my sibilance problem? What do you use as a headphone source? As Drr noted, you have already eliminated everything downstream of your headphone source. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Definin' the blues (humor) Sd; I'm a long time blues fan and so have much respect for the music. I've gotta say that this is one of the best and funniest threads I've seen on this site. I love the late "Hound Dog" Taylor's music. Can a medium sized white boy from North Dako... | |
| What Does It Take to be an Audiophile? Is being into "high end audio" the same as being an audiophile? I think there's a subtle but important difference, ie "high end", to me, suggests strieving for the best quality music playback system one can afford, whereas bing an "audiophile" may... | |
| What Does It Take to be an Audiophile? Hi Kirk; I just looked up "audiophile" in Webster's New World Dictionary, which is used by the Associated Press. An audiophile is "a devotee of high fidelity sound production, as from recordings". There is no synonym. Interestingly, the definition... | |
| Which McCormack Good post Soix-- that's the same advice Steve M. gave me, and that's what I would do also. Steve says the DNA-125 is about equal to a DNA-0.5 Rev. B. Good Luck. Craig | |
| learning to listen Good post just above Rhl, I agree. Cheers. Craig | |
| 2 Questions on General Music Preferences 1. I would prefer "incredibly wonderful music played on a Walkman in a bathroom" to your other choice. That said, what I would really prefer is incredibly wonderful music played on my "big rig". I can see what you're after DMK, but think the choic... | |
| Sonic Frontiers Service I haven't had need to contact them lately, but have always gotten excellent service from them in the past. As Sm noted above, I think Nick can get pretty busy at times. Craig | |
| learning to listen Fascinating thread Rh. Whether or not a person "gets into" (and few do) high end audio probably has most to do with attitudes, interests, preferences, and exposure to "good music reproduction" etc-- rather than much to do with hearing. Of course t... | |
| I Need 90 degree PowerCord for ML 380S ? Hi Mzn50; Jeff is correct, Synergistic Research will make you a power cord with a right angle on the IEC end for about $25. more than a standard cord. I had one made for my ML 360S DAC.However, be advised that the Syn. Res. cord projected downward... | |
| Thoughts from the Dark Side (ABX) Charlie; excellent statement/thread on this contentious (and now forbidden?) topic-- and eloquently stated too. This pretty much sums up my feelings on the subject too-- to quote you, "there should be a place at the table for us all". Cheers. Craig | |
| Please help with Levinson 380S Proceed Excellent response Aragain! Cheers. Craig | |
| Marantz Professional CDR-500? A "consumer grade" CD recorder can ONLY use special watermarked (encoded) CD blanks that are labled "consumer audio recordable CD", ie these recorders are designed to read the watermarking, and won't record unless they "see" the watermarking. This... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I consider myself lucky in that, while by no means rich, my wife and I have separate incomes and checking accounts, but we share a "household" account. I feel sure that this system has spared us a LOT of anguish.Also, like Vegasears above, she'd m... |
