| DAT Transports Sony as far as I know has always made there own transports. I have 3 DAT decks, a Sony DTC 670, Sony PDC-R300, and Fostex D-5, and each one of them has a completely different transport. I find it hard to believe that 1 company would be the only pr... | |
| d/ac s You might want to look at a company named Midiman. They have a DAC called the Flying Calf that is a real good sounding unit for $200. I think it is www.midiman.comThere is usually one on eBay at most times. | |
| Japanese reissue CD question If it's the same one I'm thinking of, I have it and could not hear any difference in SQ. The catalog number on mine is Sony SRCS 5577. The bonus track is "So What" which can now also be found on Garage Inc. You might want to hold out in the future... | |
| B W CDM 9 NT versus Nautilus 804 If you really want B&W's, why not look for something like a used pair of 801, 802, or 803 Matrix series. I bought a used pair of 802 series III's about 2 months ago in excellent condition for only $1300. You could take the extra money you have... | |
| Best 10 speaker cable for 250 ?? Home-made Cat5 cables. Dirt cheap and sound great! | |
| Power Off, Safety Question I'd say that just turning them off would be fine. You are disconnecting the power either way. If you were to open up the chasis for any reason i'd definitely unplug them as you'll still have juice right up to the power supply. When you are switchi... | |
| Best driving music. I love all sorts of music, but when I feel like doing a little high speed driving or hanging some corners nothing gets me going better than Surfing With The Alien, and The Extremist by Joe Satriani. Both of these albums really get my blood going. | |
| Tool - Lateralus Bad news about the vinyl. I won an auction on eBay for one which was to be sent out on June 5th, the day it was supposed to be released. For some reason BMG has canceled it, don't know if this is just temporary or what. Sounds like it might be awh... | |
| High-Bit CD s JVC XRCD worth if... I just bought a Tom Coster cd yesterday that was mastered with the K2 process and it sounds incredible. It's too bad that they are suspending production of these cd's. I'd like to hear some more of them to see if they all sound as good. | |
| Sony SCD-C333ES a good buy? I couldn't find it on their site either, but I heard that you have to call them and ask for the price. Could someone please enlighten us. | |
| This kills me... I listen to my clock radio when I go to sleep and sometimes I'll hear something and think, damn that sounds pretty good. So I'll try to remeber the song so I can hear it later. 9 times out of 10 it sounds like complete garbage on the good system. ... | |
| CD Recommendations Dumb question, is The Baked Potato still owned by Don Randi? I remember that he did a Sheffield Lad disc and he owned the club at that time. | |
| Speaker Grill Cloth, On or Off I leave the grills on my B&W 802 III's off all of the time, except the tweeter grill which doesn't come off(as far as I know). The grill on the mid fits so tight that it is a pain in the butt to remove, I'm afraid I'm going to break it in half... | |
| What ever happened to Direct-to-Discs? It's funny, I'm just finally getting into vinyl at the age of 29. I haven't bought a turntable yet but it will probably be my next major purchase. I'm already trying to get my hands on copies of stuff that my dad owns and other goodies. I already ... | |
| How many DVDs/CDs/LPs do you own? I have just under 3000 cd's, and only a couple dozen lp's, but since I don't own a turntable yet...I have about 250 MoFi, DCC, Mastersound, Atlantic, DMP, and Sheffield Labs gold discs and a bunch of import/rare stuff. Now that the major labels ha... |
