| 3-D Imaging: How?? Hi G13; Lots of good info. above to consider. One thing I can add about equipment is that all the McCormack DNA amps project a "laid back" image, ie they image (and soundstage) a couple of feet behind the speakers. I've used the DNA-1DX, .5, and 2... | |
| Preamp with deep soundstage suggestions In my above post, I specifically mentioned the SF Line 3 because it projects a much larger soundstage (in my system)than either the Line 1 or 2 which have wide but not deep soundstaging. I own/use both the Line 1 and 2, and auditioned the Line 3 f... | |
| Satisfaction Guarenteed? Hi Jmora; In my above post, I kind of reduced high end audio to just a fun hobby, but on thinking about it some more, I do occasionally have "magic musical moments"-- where EVERYTHING seems to come together musically, and then, yes, some sort of t... | |
| what is everybody listening to right now Since the new Cowboy Junkies CD "Waltz Across America" came out (10/11/00), I can't seem to get it out of my transport. It's presently only available at www.cowboyjunkies.com Cheers. Craig. | |
| Top Audio Designers Of All Time? .......What John_1 said. Cheers. Craig. | |
| Relief? The New Digital Players I think it's going to be YEARS before both hardware and software manufactures make a new format widely attractive. So having conviction in this belief, I purchased a Levinson transport and DAC (used, but excellent) early last summer. So far I see ... | |
| Preamp with deep soundstage suggestions For $2500 to 2800. (used), the Sonic Frontiers Line 3 was a soundstaging monster in my system-- in fact too much in my medium sized room, so I went back to the Line 2. I don't know if you can find what you want for sub $2000. Good Luck. Craig | |
| Satisfaction Guarenteed? Hi Jmora; I don't think most audiophiles are seeking "intellectual or spiritual satisfaction". Those are too grandiose goals, IMO-- at least for most? To me it's just a highly enjoyable hobby, and there's nothing particularily noble about it. I ha... | |
| Cowboy Junkies fans........ Hi Dekay; Michael Timmins is the Junkies lead guitar player (and Margo's brother), and he also has written much of their music, as well as producing-- a talented guy. And I agree that he uses some strange chops, but they always add to the music. B... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Amen Tubegroover!!! Cheers. Craig. | |
| Cowboy Junkies fans........ It seems this CD is presently only available through the Cowboy Junkies "Junk Store", it's at www.cowboyjunkies.com. I just learned this from Cornfedboy via email. As noted above, I pre-ordered the CD I got-- I'm on the Junkies "Junkmail" list. I ... | |
| Cowboy Junkies fans........ Swampwalker; I believe I have all the Junkies CDs-- and not a bad one in the bunch. Dan; I'm looking forward to L. Lovetts "Joshua Judges Ruth". I should have noted that this CD was just released 10/11/00 so it may not be at the retail level yet--... | |
| Want to upgrade my Sonic Frontiers Line2 Jwest; A harsh comment about Redkiwi. IMO he is a gentleman and is highly knowledgeable about audio components. Did you know that he has been involved in several audio ventures including manufacturing and marketing of a tube pre-amp? (see his post... | |
| Tubed pre-amp for solid state amp? Hi Ssing; If you really want to stay within your $600-800. budget, the Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 with a a mullard tube is rich and warm, and is available used in your price range. The stock Sovtek tube makes this pre-amp much more neutral. Tube rollin... | |
| TOP TEN solid state amps of all time? One of the McCormack DNA amps should easily make the top ten; my choice is the DNA-2DX. Cheers. Craig. |
