Improvement in CD player transports Of course the real answer is you have to do the hard work of plugging them in and listenign to both, comparing what you hear. I recently switched from an old Sony 707ES as a transport to a more recent Sony 777ES SACD (I think I've gotten the model... | |
What else sounds like Kubala Sosna? Oh, and for those who have heard the KS line, what was your impression of the difference between Expression and Emotion? | |
What else sounds like Kubala Sosna? They are warm cables, but i think most musicians work really hard to warm up their sound, and most hihg end gear is too bright. I have been trying to emulate the sound I hear live in my home system, and the KS cables seem to do that (especially on... | |
Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? It's not a question of speakers making mediocre recordings sound good, as much as making mediocre recordings sound their best. There is a lot of equipment that makes mediocre recordigns sound worse by compounding the problems, while making good re... | |
Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I don't know what went wrong with the Daedalus speakers I heard. I was very surprised to hear tehm sound that way, and disappointed that the search would have ot continue. I do remember that they did not have the crossover upgrade to the capacitor... | |
Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? Interesting about the Daedalus. I had high hopes for these speakers after hearing someone play an electric violin through one of their combo amps (a combination preamp/amp/speaker all in one box for musicians to use on stage) at a NAMM convention ... | |
Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I highly recommend Ascendo Systems speakers. They really push the boundaries of analytical vs. musical, giving a very highly resolving and very musical presentation. I have the System ZF3s. I have not been happier with a speaker since I got my Spi... | |
Youtube Music Videos. Youtube is one of the greatest things on the internet - you can find true videos of even the most obscure things. For music, some of my favorites are:New-to-me Nina Hagen. Some of her music is fabulous, much is awful. This was the first I saw of h... | |
Has anyone actually bought a Zesto Phono preamp? I havaen't heard it yet, but if you're near Eastern Massachusetts, Goodwin's High End has one in their showroom. | |
MIT shotgun MA or MIT Matrix HD38 Hi, you speak English better than I speak Hungarian. MIT has 2 product lines, one available in stores and one available from on-line sellers. That's how they are divided in the US. I think the Matrix is their very latest line for sale in stores, w... | |
plate amps If you're running the sats full range, then the sub is not taking the load off the main, hmm, thinking---wait a minute, unless you were running the subs passively off the AtmaSpheres in parallel with the mains, in which case, you would defintiely ... | |
Wanting to get into Vinyl - Need help I would seriously question getting into vinyl if you have nothing yet. If you don't have a big vinyl collection already, and don't like to tweak for the fun of it, getting a great digital rig will probably prove to be much more enjoyable. I have r... | |
GNSC has closed . . . Another Steve Huntley fan here. I owned a modded 850 for a while. He got it running again for a fair price when some gears wore out. Wadia hadn't had the foresight to stockpile enough parts, but he did. | |
PS Audio PerfectWave DAC Upgrade Groben - I'm contemplating the Berkeley and PS. Can you describe the differences in sound between the two? Especially in regard to resolution and bass bloom. | |
Benefits of Buying Used Equipment of Age If you know what to buy, used stuff can be way better than new. My favorite example is the Spica TC50 speakers I bought in 1986. I tried a number of new, expensive speakers that were lateral moves from these. Typically, the newer sepakers had grea... |
