| Would You Pay to Listen? I would definitely try this at least once, for all the positives listed above. It would be nice if there were many different brands of equipment that one could swap in and out just to see how components match up. Ahh, but how would the pricing be ... | |
| "Warm" CD player...on a budget. Hi Cjcerny. Although I've never heard it myself, based on reputation and reviews I would suggest looking into the original Rega Planet which you can find used within your budget. Good luck! | |
| Listener fatigue My experience agrees with what Blueswan points out. I owned a Simaudio Moon I-5 integrated for a year and also acquired an Electrocompaniet ECI-3 one month ago. I compared the two amps for three weeks.The I-5 could at times be utterly brilliant, b... | |
| How to Listen ?? Like Bruce Lee said, "Don't think! Feeeel!"Don't try to listen analytically, that's the job of reviewers. Just sit and enjoy.Does the singer touch your heart? Does the saxophonist move your soul? Do you ever get transported to a far off place and ... | |
| My girlfriend is pissed Steve, for four years I had the same problem as you. Since July I've had plenty of time to listen to my stereo, and scam on other babes. I'm sure you know why, heheh. | |
| Tube Curious Thanks for the info Marakanetz. From what I've been reading it seems the BAT is more sensitive than others to the quality of the AC it receives. Is this something I should be overly concerned with? | |
| Recommended female vocalists? Diana Krall is at or near the top of my list. I just recently discovered Jacintha, and boy is she romantic! Wow! I also love Sarah Vaughn. Astrud Gilberto may not have a great voice but her early recordings of Antonio Carlos Jobim's songs are some... | |
| Anyone using i tunes as a computer based jukebox? iTunes is super cool, I use it here at work. The interface is much simpler and the design is cleaner than some of the other utilities I've seen. It plays both my old Napster downloads and newer Gnutella/Limewire files. However, simultaneously play... | |
| Anyone under 30? Being under 30 you are definitely NOT bringing up the rear. No such thing, Hahah! All are welcome!I got into hifi when I was 5 years old. My father gave me access to his hifi setup and all his cool albums when I was just beginning school. Remember... | |
| Which support for underneath CD player? I too have greatly benefitted by adding a Neuance shelf under my Theta Pearl. Basically it extended the strengths of the Pearl. Mine sits on the top shelf of my Target Beta rack, and Ken Lyon can custom make one to fit your rack. | |
| Buying a Lovan rack from Dynadirect I've never dealt with DynaDirect, but I think you'll like the Lovan racks. I own a pair of Imperial stands for my monitors and a friend of mine has the Sovereign racks in beechwood for his HT setup. They're very elegant. | |
| How come no one talks about the BEST REMOTES?? Wow, I didn't know remotes could get so expensive. I got into home theater over three years ago, but have spent the last two years completely enamored with 2 channel.However, even with my new found love of music reproduction over movies and the th... | |
| Help with my University Research Project Trthomp,I will continue to follow this thread with great interest. I look forward to your results no matter the outcome. I don't know if you plan on noting differences in cables depending on their use of materials or design, but no matter your fin... | |
| best used transport 400-700 Mejames is correct about the Data and Data II using discontinued mechanisms. This was confirmed for me by Ed Deitemeier with Theta Digital. He said they were looking for sources for the Phillips CDM-9 which the Data uses.I bought a used Theta Pear... | |
| EVS Millennium II Versus Bel Canto Dac 1.1 Stereomaniac,This is an interesting topic. Reason being, I've never heard people compare these two units directly. I own a Bel Canto DAC 1.1 and have been very happy with it, but have been considering some changes to my system. I'm using the DAC 1... |
