| How much DC is considered safe? Great parting comment, Clueless :^)! Anyone here monikered Aristotle??? Cheers. | |
| Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food?? 1st: Warm, freshly made goose liver (not the terrine de foie gras: the actual liver). 2nd Confit of duck, as per Bill above (so much the better if Mr Cagna cooks it!). 3rd Aged roquefort, probably Papillon (difficult to find artisanal stuff these ... | |
| What's the Sonic Character of Accuphase Amps? Bwhite: as it happens I did, with the GenesisV/Cat combo described in my previous post. (The same day I tried the Accuphase, in fact. Amazingly, we both have had identical thoughts...!). There was more "punch" with the Lamm's -- but deceptively so... | |
| Speaker recommendation for Pass Labs Given yr musical preference, I would start auditioning Audio Physic, JM Lab, Proac & Dynaudio -- in that order. You will probably appreciate a very staccato & fast speaker. Then, it boils down to your ears. As there are many choices of goo... | |
| Amp for JM Lab Mezzo Utoptia's I also listen to classical & can second the Jadis and the YBA (Passion pre->Passion stereo, in my case) recommendations. There are certainly other combinations that escape me. I have heard, but not confirmed, that Mr Mahul (also) uses wide-... | |
| What's the Sonic Character of Accuphase Amps? Hi Bwhite, my impressions follow: stereo A-50V playing with C-290V/dp75v/Klipsch: a touch pronounced at around the +12kHz mark BUT not unpleasantly so (to my ears). The same system but a with Goldmund 7.5 pre inlieu of C-290: softer, but, more ext... | |
| Difference between these really good CD players To Ken's cd list, I strongly recommend a female voice accompanied by piano; very difficult to reproduce well and magical when rendition is on the mark...Happy holidays! | |
| Who R U? Hello, Bio, and good to meet you. Happy holiday season! | |
| Happy Holidays to ALL Welcome back, Angela. My best wishes to all for a merry holiday season and a healthy and safe new year! | |
| How much money do you want to waste? To further Sean above: IMO we're soul-searching to justify the prices we pay for our equips. In doing so, many of us (myself included) invariably relate the market price of a product with the cost of producing said product. Under this premise, man... | |
| Most beautiful violin recording you have heard I would add Sibelius V.Concerto and second the Brahms Double (there's also a great version with Piatigorski), Tchaikovski & Beethoven.I'm still looking for my "reference" performance for the Sibelius: the C Ferras/Karajan is nicely balanced (o... | |
| I don't get it All of the above + 6 (?): mismatches. We buy cause it's a good deal, w/out auditioning cause it's well nigh impossible... no friends, friendly dealer, etc, to try out a piece...Not sure about 4, though. I'd rephrase to, "Some audiophiles SPEND way... | |
| comparison of 508.24 VS.accuphase65,75,and emc-II Possible choices are also: Audio Aero "Capitole" and Lurne's bigger models. Also, Kora allegedly tune their cdp's to classical...The big Burmester, and Boulder combos are in a different price/performance league: IMO audition extensively before you... | |
| What transport with dCS Purcell/Delius Setup? Another way of looking at this: transport manufacturer viewpoint. There are few major manufacturers; most transports are either Sony, Philips, CEC, or Teac. Choose the "sound" you prefer.Not a specialist, nyself, I *seem* to find Sony bouncy and s... | |
| Yba1a versus Dodson or simular quality Kg, you may be served by upgrading the Kairn's power supply to latest specs ("brilliant" I think it's called). There's a slight improvement in resolution. Also try different PC's on the Kairn and the Kabers (if you haven't already): I had found th... |
