| Digital Support Robedk, IMO analogue can give you great moments (natural timbres, sense of space) and disappointing moments (bad recording, worse, badly cut LP)...I agree with Rpell that PCM is weak software by today's standards -- often, in my system (and to my ... | |
| What Chopin solo piano cds are the best? I second Lipatti, Michelangeli & Rubinstein, esp in Ballads & Sonatas. I can also recommend anthologies by Cortot (EMI), Horowitz (Sony) and the Preludes with Argerich (DG).Cheers! | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? Detlof great idea! Why not get Kubla onto this -- he's a creative / script / etc writer. Think we can get him to Babel? From there onto Cannes?It might cover reparations for the Jadis you threw out of your window a while back! | |
| Jazz Review: Miles Davis Great post, Sd! Inspired by it, I spoke to an afficionado who informed me that he has 63 Miles LPs... If I get the list (improbable) I'll be happy to share.Cheers! | |
| Who R U? What traumatic experience is hiding behind Kubla's quest for Atmasphere? Is it an individual or a socially induced phenomenon? Not least: where does his powerful mastery of language derive from (what about body language...)?Deep waters!Detlof, wou... | |
| Clearaudio Phono Listened to the *ref* at a dealer's (TT: Clearaudio Ref/Insider) and a friend's house (small Clearaudio TT, Victory). Sound was analytical and fast; outstanding clarity. Musically: correct timbres in jazz & classical, dynamics galore, emphasiz... | |
| Tale of the preamps Siddh, I would be very careful in changing a chain that has kept me happy for a long time. As I remember the JP80, it plays music "beautifully". IMO, the CATs --pre/power combo-- play music "handsomely, with gusto"; with one I forgot shortcomings ... | |
| tube amp recommendations for Watt/Puppys As suggested above, you need huevos. Esp, to get orchestral dynamics and to couple the P's with the W's on the V. The best results (caution: to my ears) with WP 6's were in descending order, Atmasphere-2 (as above), Lamm, Ref 600, Mesa Baron in pe... | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit Thanks, Mega. | |
| Sakura Systems OTA Cable Kit G'men, would DarumaII support ~50lbs (weight of my cdp)? Also, how far does the movement go: I have little available space on the lightweight table the player is sitting on.Thanks! | |
| Static / Fuzzy Sound in Speakers From your experiments, it seems that *airborne* noise is being picked up by yr Wadia - and/or by the elec. circuit. Do you have TV antennae, TV connections, plates, or similar a/video gear nearby? Try DISCONNECTING.Also, OTHER (stock, anything) in... | |
| Arthur Salvatore WoW comments?? PERFECT condition, 10/10 (few unnoticeable scratches here & there) still under guarantee, complete with wooden tyres.Detlof, what's a "beemer"? Not that 3wheeler manufactured by those bayerische something or other? | |
| Monoblocks or upgrade to larger amp? Thanks! | |
| Any DIYer s out there ? Excellent point, Dds! Sean, do your plans include a quick initiation course for the wife? | |
| Carl hears through Diamond Good point, but -- I live half-way round the world, unfortunately!Cheers |
