| Can there be too much? Sorry, but YES - too much digital degrades SQ. IMO, analogue is much simpler and sounds better as well. | |
| Power cord upgrade for ATC 100A Active Speakers Perhaps fruit for thought: Several A-Goners have remarked that upgrading power chords provided the most dramatic SQ improvements with their AMPS & PREAMPS, and the least improvement with TT and speakers... Always demo... Cheers, | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber +1 @ghdprentice "MacIntosh produces a very heavy midrange and bass but is light on the details..." For what it's worth... This was my experience as well. Earlier this week I listened to the SF Cremonese, powered by McIntosh mono-blocks (... | |
| Tough Nut Cones Isolation for loudspeakers, brilliant solution over spikes Although the argument is fragmented, the logic seems valid - Tough Nut Cones (seem to) represent a cost-effective choice for diminishing sound-wave transmission from speakers to the floor, and vise versa. I like what I have, but I may give them a... | |
| CD's or Vinyl? LPs - since their introduction in the 80's, I have heard thousands of CDs on hundreds of systems, including many > $100,000 systems. So far, only one of these systems has matched the quality that I hear from my mid-priced analogue system. I e... | |
| Cannonball Adderly - Know What I Mean Thanks for the impression/tip. I admit that, after 20+ years of trying, I dislike most Jazz (like Opera, it is not for everyone), but you tip keeps me trying... I will find a copy and give it a listen. Best, | |
| Brian Wilson IMO, Brian was one of the very few 'geniuses' of modern music. To my ear, the Beach Boys produced some of the most beautiful, memorable songs of the generation. RIP | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? OP It seems that you are both the seller and the arbitrator. With that being said, IMO the relevant facts seem to be: a. You initiated the offer on AG and paid the standard add fee. b. Item did not sell, and the add expired. c. ~1 year... | |
| Rolling Stones - Hackney Diamonds DC has ~1,600 copies for sale. Step right up... | |
| Looking for new speaker cables @jaybe P.S. Over the years I have owned Cardas, Kimber, High Fidelity ($$$), etc.. I am so happy with my Audience frontRow speaker cables, I am considering replacing other the interconnects without considering other brands. Fortunately, if y... | |
| Looking for new speaker cables Hi OP, I recently upgraded to the Audience fronRow speaker cables. Although premium-priced, I am very happy with the improvements they provide and feel they were worth the cost. Yes, they have BODY. In my system, they are clear, balanced and ... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Yes, generally... | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? Legacy - A tribute to Fleetwood Mac's Rumors . (all songs are from Rumors, various artists). Not all of the tracks are my taste, but many are outstanding... | |
| How Much to Spend on Turntable, Cart., Phono Pre +1 @theflattire This is a good beginning ratio, but be a bit flexible. Why? Like most, you may decide on several 'must have' features, which may change the ratio costs a bit... For example, I will probably always buy cartridges with a Micro-... | |
| How much do I need to spend to make vinyl sound better than digital? +1 Hana SL - at $1.2k, it is a good value and leaves plenty for the TT and PP ;-) |
