| CD getting as good as LPs - recommendations Hassel; I'm in agreement with your premise, and find myself in agreement with Pbb's well stated post too.Two XRCDs that I really like are Jacintha's "Autumn Leaves" by FIM, and The Audioquest XRCD of Robert Lucas "Luke and the Locomotives", a blue... | |
| Cryo treated wires? Sean; thanks for a touch of levity. I think this thread has run its course-- and besides we've now got a real war to hold our attention. No Cheers on that;>( Craig | |
| Cryo treated wires? Ohlala; I too will go back and correct some deficiencies in my first post. I tried Virtual Dynamics cryogenically treated 10/4 BX wire and liked the beneficial effects it had on my system very much. That is a fact. The new VD wire replaced a "brig... | |
| Heads up for earwax. I also had this problem several years ago, and my doc removed a good sized hard lump of wax from one of my ears. He used a huge plastic syringe and gently squirted luke warm water into the ear canal until the wax partly broke up and just floated o... | |
| Cryo treated wires? Ohlala; you argue well. However in your above reply to Hdm you (finally) say: "In a high resolution system, I am sure the difference would be obvious, and if the system was managed well enough, the effect of the cryo would be beneficial." How woul... | |
| Cryo treated wires? Ohlala; I'll stand by my original post. Please re-read it if it's not clear to you. I was insulted because you impugned my integrity. As to sources for info on cryo treatment, try the A'Gon, AA and other audio site archives. You should actually tr... | |
| Cryo treated wires? Ohlala; if anyone thinks it's just advertisiing that's fine. As for me, I'm just enjoying the timbrally rich, mellow music that I consider a very nice and welcome improvement. But it could just be the new wire even w/o the cryo treatment.However, ... | |
| Cryo treated wires? Tireguy; thanks for posting the Jena Labs info.-- an interesting read.Rainchild; While I have not done a direct before and after test of the same cryo wire vs non-cryo, you may be interested that I just replaced an old 6 awg wire (from main to sub... | |
| How did you hear about Audiogon? From an audiogeek friend-- over 3 years ago-- and my audio life hasn't been the same since. Audiogon has cost me a lot of money and saved me even more-- this is "audiogeek logic".My audio knowledge has increased exponentially, and my stereo system... | |
| Home HiFi better than Live? I read through all the above posts, and to me Seaandtaylor99 (just above) said it all for me-- "two totally different experiences"-- and both are enjoyable. Seeing and hearing Buddy Guy live though-- crappy acoustics and all-- was a great, but onc... | |
| Two of your best audiophile Blues CD's ? 1. Terry Evans "Blues for Thought". Also, other Terry Evans CDs.2. "Strike a Deep Chord", sub-titled "Blues for the Homeless". I don't know if this is still available, but it's worth looking for. Cheers. Craig | |
| Cowboy Junkies Karls; glad to meet another big Junkies fan-- and nice list. There are 3 others that I have:* "Studio" Selected recordings 1986-1995. 1996. A nice compilation.* "Best of Cowboy Junkies". Released by RCA against the Cowboy Junkies wishes. 2001. I f... | |
| Cowboy Junkies Welcome to the Cowboy Junkies fan club Warren. Tim, You're still cool here on A'Gon, IMO-- even though you have questionable taste;>). For me (a major Cowboy Junkies fan) the Junkies were an acquired taste, and as my stereo system improved, I l... | |
| Amps to drive Vandy 3A signatures Any of the McCormack amps from DNA-1 up in power are excellent matches w/ Vand. 3 speakers, unless you do the bi-amping thing like Swampwalker wih a pair of .5s. I especially liked the DNA-2 with the 3A/3A Sig., and a DNA-2 can sometimes be found ... | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. Great take Rosstaman, LMAO;>) I actually owned Boze 501s way back in the early 70's, and at the time thought they were cool-- the advertizing did the trick. Their "direct reflecting" design sucked big time for bass. A few years later, a pair of... |
