| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? Rats!!! But Cheers too, Craig | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? Dear Metaphysics,I'll give you $30. for your Classic Gold CD of Cowboy Junkies "The Trinity Session"-- and pay shipping!Love, Craig | |
| Good Cowboy Junkies "Trinity Sessions"? Hi Metaphysics; My CD is also 8568-2-R. The first track on "The Trinity Session" ie, this CD, is recorded complete with recording noise and is difficult to listen to, but the rest of it is quite good-- must be something wrong with your copy or tha... | |
| Odd Power Cord--Recommendations? I don't know what it's called either, but it sounds like the removeable power cord that came on my Pioneer CD recorder. Note; one side of the female end is square, and the other side is roundish. This seems to be a relatively new type of smaller, ... | |
| What is a "Redbook" CD player? Chastob; HDCD is not the same as 24/96. It is a high quality encoding/decoding process with its own decoding chip, or filter that applies only to Redbook CDs. When well implemented it improves regular CD quality. My ML 360S DAC can decode HDCD and... | |
| Why are optical cables jitter prone? I have read many places that Toslink cable actually rejects jitter better than Coaxial cable, but the big advantage of coaxial is its much greater potential bandwidth transmission and more robust conectors. Audio mags., such as Stereophile, do not... | |
| Bi-wireing Proac 2.5 Good post Camadeco. Cheers. Craig | |
| Check this out...you might implode. If portable, that horn subwoofer could be used as a serious weapon-- wouldn't even fit in an 18 wheeler though, and even if it did, would destroy the truck when fired up-- definitely not for Toyota's though. Is that "horn" supposed to have somethi... | |
| "Tweaks" vs. Audiophiles Hi Jeff; not exactly a sonic tweak, but my heavy Syn, Res. Master Couplers could use some support at the wall end(s), so I screwed a nicely stained 1" X 4" X 5ft. long board to the wall just above three duplex dedicated outlets, and then screwed 3... | |
| Upgade... Amp choices??? Hi Scoly; I can highly recomment the McCormack DNA-0.5. It has great bass and is definitely stable into 4 Ohm loads. It was Stereophile Class B for years. I saw one here on Agon for (I think) $750. yesterday. It's definitely worth tracking one dow... | |
| Terry Evans and the Blues Thanks for the responses. Lwin, I'll look for Olu Dara-- never heard of him(?). Lorenzo, Luke and the Locomotives is one of the best blues CDs I've ever heard; have Lloyd Jones too; I like some of Rory Block's music, and I'll have to look up early... | |
| Best Pre-amp for Bi-amping? All Sonic Frontiers Line series pre-amps have four active outputs for biamping or whatever. They sound good too, neutral, accurate rather than tubey. I'm in the process of dong what you are proposing-- hope it works out for both of us. Craig. | |
| Fallow up on syn. from evo.. Evo845; glad to see that you're getting it worked out with Syn. Res. I too made some "not too gracious" comments about them, and have been on the 'phone with Scott Novak about these Agon posts, and some work I need done. It seems Scott is doing "d... | |
| What's your profession? Age? Retired now, I was a Forest Soil Scientist with the Dept. of Interior for 32 years-- just turned 58, but emotionally and musically am about 15. Big Rig is worth about $40-45K. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Order of importance Eugkim; there is no meaningful order of importance of components, but obviously you have to start somewhere. You say you like the Thiels, and that's an excellent place to start. Looks to me like you're well on your way to an excellent system.The s... |
