| CD Recorder that has decent sound? I have a Pioneer W739 ($600. actual retail) that makes excellent copies and is very convenient and versatile to use. But, you have to use the consumer audio CDs which are a little more expensive. Ramstl and others would recommend the more pro orie... | |
| Who R U? Personally I'm glad that David99 had the nerve to start this potentially contentious thread, and as he mentioned me in it, I feel a small amount of joint responsibility for it too. I think the thread has been highly successful, extremely interesti... | |
| Best reviewers For tubes I like and respect Dick Olsher-- whoever he happens to be writing for, and I also agree with Sam Tellig, Stereophile for his wit and humor-- just wish he'd post a spec. box with his reviews. Tom J. Norton-- Stereophile, while pretty stif... | |
| Problems using both XLR and RCA inputs? Hi Marcy; It would make me nervous as hell to have them both connected at once. I agree with the above posts. Craig. | |
| DO AUDIOPHILES EVER LISTEN TO MUSIC? Good thread Chipster; I now just listen to test tones and the XLO Burn-in CD, track # 9-- ya know that screechy track that also kills insects and spiders. ;>). Cheers. Craig. | |
| The best Neutral Power cord ? Nice post Brulee. And I really liked your comment "the performance sure sounded neutral tonight"-- that's a great perspective. I've had excellent results with Syn. Res. Master Couplers on all components-- availabe used for $160 to 180. I also like... | |
| Recommend a 20A power cord? I've been very happy with Synergistic Research Master Couplers on McCormack DNA-2DX. Craig | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals .......I may be guilty of thinking in analog, but copying in digital:>) Craig. | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals I don't have a computer "burner", but it's my understanding that they can burn at high speeds, ie 10X or more. It seems sort of intuitive to me that at high copying speeds there is increased possibility of (especially) timing errors. But if that w... | |
| Best Customer Service (Manufacturer) Douglas Brown, Tech. Rep. at Sonic Frontiers is excellent, as is Todd Sutherland, Customer Relations at Madrigal. I bought two used Levinson components last summer and Todd asked for serial numbers then immediately gave me significant "remaining w... | |
| MISSING THE POINT? I'm constantly on the lookout for new artists and finding a new artist (rather than just new releases) is what I find most exciting about this hobby. This year I've "discovered" Diana Krall, Shirley Horn, Mai're Brennan, and Dave Hole. Dave Hole i... | |
| Great Sounding New Releases I posted it here before but will again: Cowboy Junkies "Waltz Across America". It's only available at www.cowboyjunkies.com. Think I'll try the 'Dead collection-- thanks. | |
| New Enya Album Cornfedboy... thanks, didn't know that. Where did it come from? | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals As noted, I make my CD-Rs on a $600. Pioneer W739-- ie consumer grade. I have 4 CD players and CD-Rs and originals sound different on all of them. They include Levinson 37 Transport and 360S DAC, Sony XA7ES (now sold), Sony 9ES, and of course the ... | |
| New Enya Album My wife found out about the new Enya release before me and won't let me buy it 'cuz it's going to be a present. Even though her last release was mostly previously released music, I loved it for the title track alone-- "Paint the Sky with Stars"-- ... |
