| What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's? Thin Lizzy, "Whiskey in the Jar." | |
| What is the Best Sounding/Produced music CD ?? I love the four Johnny Cash American Recordings CDs. The music is among the best of Johnny's long and distinguished career, and the sonics are absolutely mesmerizing. On a good system, the Man in Black is giving you a private concert. Can't get mu... | |
| Furitech vs. Bedini Demagnitizer In my case, I have the Furutech (did I spell it correctly?) and compared it to the latest Bedini. I preferred the Furutech--I could hear deeper into the mix than with the Bedini--but the difference was hardly earth-shattering. Then again, if you'v... | |
| Magico Ultimate Loudspoeakers I read it. I just got a chance to hear the 20k Magico Minis last month, and I can't say I was bowled over--especially for the price. If the Ultimate has the same house sound, I'd opt for something else. Not that I'd be able to afford it anyway, bu... | |
| What is an Audiophile? I consider a true audiophile a music lover who values quality sound reproduction and buys products that enable him/her to reach that end. Others may have more complex definitions, but that one has always worked for me. | |
| What is the best Frank Sinatra CD? Sonically, you can't go wrong with any of the DCC releases. I just picked up most of them, and they sound excellent. Only problem is that they're all out of print and command pretty high prices, especially sealed. | |
| Cable isolators ??? I use them in both my systems, and they made a readily audible difference, mainly by lowering the noise floor. Well worth the investment, IMO. | |
| What's under your amp? Dennis:I've only seen the VR series in the grey finish, but it's worth a call or email to SRA to see if custom colors are a possibility. | |
| What's under your amp? I second the SRA recommendation. Yes, they can be costly, but IMO there is no better isolation device on the planet. I have them under every component in my system, and the difference they've made in the sound quality is nothing short of astoundin... | |
| Best cd player for under $800.00 If you can stretch your budget by $200 or so, go with the new Rega Apollo. You will NOT regret it. | |
| Stupid Question-What's the best way to choose? I second the Cable Company recommendation. If you're curious about cables, they're the best resource I know of. They stock a lot of different cables, in various lengths, and offer very good customer service. They'll let you borrow whatever you wan... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa? PureMusic:I've only tried the Nespa on the CD-R AFTER burning it. Per Steve Klein, the distributor of the Nespa, I also Nespa the original prior to burning. I can't verify that this makes any significant difference, but judging from what it does t... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa? I own both, and I agree with Leec that the RealityCheck,if you want to extract the maximum from it, is a PITA to use. But it and George's fluids DO work, so I just suck it up and slave through the ritual. Really, it's not that much different than ... | |
| Power Cable - what´s your best? Check out Ven Haus Audio (www.vhaudio.com). They have several cords at or below your price range, and they're uniformly excellent. Lots of press on them over at Audio Asylum. | |
| Talking Heads Remastered Karl:I'm a huge Heads fan, and I picked up "Brick" the day it came out. I was VERY impressed by the sonics. They waited a long time to remaster the catalog, but when they DID do it, they did it right. |
