| Which stereo SACD's do you recommend? Tommy by The WHO | |
| Krell cast cables - Fakes, knock offs, counterfeit Leica man is right! I had an all Krell CAST system and the Krell cable is terrible; don't waste your money. The Transparent is superior. I think there are a couple other brands; I think it is either Tara or Siltech that are awesome too. | |
| Monitor Audio Made in China? Yes, the Global economy is fantastic as it allows high quality products to be sold at lower prices. Everything from shoes, clothes, toys, camping equipment, etc.etc. Why not high end audio too. I am waiting for Wilson, Krell, Audio Research to all... | |
| Best sounding VINYL labels? I have had issues with Acoustic Sounds 200 gram reissues! The vinyl is noisy! I have been told they have had a problem spreading the vinyl properly during production to create the 200 gram LPs. I have the Satchmo Plays King Oliver LP mentioned in ... | |
| VMPS - any owners I have heard and have visited many times with Brian Cheney of VMPS as I once lived in the Bay Area near him. He is a great guy; a little tempermental at times, but a passionate designer who builds a very high quality speaker at a very affordable p... | |
| Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room Don't do it! Won't sound good! I sold my MAXX because they didn't sound good in a room your size! | |
| What equipment do you most regret parting with?? Vendetta Research phono stage! What was I thinking! | |
| AVALON OWNERS... Audiopoints! Star Sound product. Used them on my Wilson MAXX speaker and they were a huge difference over stock spikes and discs that can be ordered will protect your floor no problem. | |
| Law of "increasing returns" Oyaide AC outlet/plug My friend locally had two different Oyaide AC outlets side by side and I was amazed at the sound difference between the two but how each was far superior to the Hubbell he had used previously. This is a great tweak and I agree with your comments. | |
| If you haven't tried them, you need to... Hey Rockyboy; great, varied, selection of music you listen to! How's that Sly Stone CD? I love his stuff! Also, the Buffalo Springfield? didn't know that was HDCD | |
| If you haven't tried them, you need to... Rockyboy, there are several CD's that have been remastered in HDCD and haven't been coded as such. I agree with you. There was a website; hdcd.com that at one time listed all the albums remastered in HDCD, but I haven't seen it up in a while. I th... | |
| Who has Caps on their AC lines ??? I use the Auricaps on all my outlets too, but couldn't tell you the ratings; although it may be on my system information in one of the upgrade notes I made. This is a very effective, inexpensive tweak to clean up noise. I still use an old Tice Pow... | |
| AMERIAN JAZZ FOUNDATION Life isn't fair! We all make choices to pursue passions and in many of these musician's lives it was all about the art, not the money. Life gives us choices and if it comes down to supporting self and family and you choose a $100 per night gig ove... | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue Check out any Blue Note record that Rudy Van Gelder was the recording engineer and you will be amazed at the sound he got in the 50's and how good they still sound today. I like the 1500 series of Blue Notes. | |
