| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Tboooe - a few weeks later, I finally pulled out Dulcinea. What great songs and arrangements. It is well produced as well. Read lyrics on Songlyrics while listening. The song "Begin" is (as we used to say) very heavy. Am interested now in sampling... | |
| What audio components are heirloom quality? My input on a place to start would be to look at current manufacturers that were around 20 years ago, survived and are well-regarded today. If they survived and succeeded over the last 20 yrs., seems good odds they'll be around another 20. Opinion... | |
| Hegel h200 low level listening Don - I was following your posts up to your decision to actually buy the Hegel. Did not realize you had posted some early listening impressions. It's great to hear you are enjoying it. What CDP do you use in your system? I think you have Harbeth s... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Rbrowne - I do not have Nostalgia. So I will have to check that out. Your recommendation of Sunset Mission duly noted although "Club of Gore" sounds a little "iffy" for my tastes. None the less, will try to give it a listen. Thanks for the suggest... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Los Lobos - Colossal Head. Appreciating tonight what a great recording this is - music and production. One of the best screams ever on Track 2: Mas Y Mas (which suggests a topic for another "best whatever ever...." Audiogon thread. I'll resist the... | |

| Influential Producers Dodgealum - I can't say I typically "buy" for a particular producer but I definitely notice, as you suggest, what seem to me consistent, successful pairings of artist & producer. Would have to dig out the recordings to give you specific names ... | |
| Adjust resistance & capacitance to Folks - thanks for the input. Discovered the reason for the poor sound quality when switching back to tubes (tube pre & monoblocks) was that the solid state integrated I had been using for the last 1/2 yr or so required the Heed's hi output RC... | |
| Adjust resistance & capacitance to Elizabeth, Thanks. That gives me the direction I needed. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hang around this thread long enough, even a white boy like me could get educated. Yeah... I know. Not PC. Too bad. Heard a Euphonium for the first time live only recently. In church. Beautiful sounding instrument. The kid playing had great tone. G... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Aolmrd - thanks for the Martin Tillman. Did not know him. Listen a bit to the likes of Zero 7, Leftorium, Air. Now I'll add Tillman to the list. | |
| Comments pls.: TEAC vs Marantz CD/SACD players Newbee - just came across my double post (after you'd already answered about a "standby" mode on the Marantz). Sorry 'bout that. FWIW - still haven't purchased anything! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Tboooe - glad you enjoyed the concert. The only thing I have by TTWS is "Dulcinea". Haven't listened to it in years. Maybe I will dust it off.FWIW - Been listening to a fair amount of post-Police Andy Summers recently. Tonight is "The Last Dance o... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Apart from Toad, many names I've not heard of before. Lots to sample on YouTube. Thanks all. Tboooe - how was the concert? |
