| Sansui? Get your brother-in-law a pair of original JBL 100's or the 4312's to match the vintage Sansui amp. The Alpha 907i is a formidable piece! | |
| jitter Jitter is a non-issue solved decades ago! Present day DAC's and streamers are immune to jitter. No need for re-clocking devices, despite what the neurotically obsessed will claim. | |
| Sansui? @mahgister +1! That Alpha 907i from 1987 looks pretty impressive! List price was 260,000 yen, around $2600 dollars. Which one do you have? | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition The Reiner/CSO is possibly the best recording of the orchestral version. Lewis Layton recording engineer for this and other Reiner/CSO's. I have the RCA .5 Series half-speed remaster made from the analog tapes. | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition I have both! I don't like London squeezing all of Pictures on one side of the LP for both the orchestra and solo piano, each on a side. Dynamic range and bass have to be cut! | |
| Pictures at an Exhibition Horowitz! | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice @noromance +1! Quads rule! I have two pairs and a pair of Futterman OTL amps. | |
| Yes, another audiophile at a crossroads story and request for advice For transparency and coherency nothing beats electrostatic speakers! Check out the latest generation of Quad ESL's. | |
| LessLoss C-Marc Entropic Speaker Cable So I should throw away my Q Audio TimeStream speaker cables and go search for something else? | |
| LessLoss C-Marc Entropic Speaker Cable Price? | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Sell the NHT's and buy the biggest pair of Sound Labs ESL's! Nothing as realistic as having square feet of sound radiating surface! | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range The Quads (all versions) can't be beat for low-level resolution. Regardless of whether made in the UK or China. | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? @drewdawg999 +1! | |
| How easily can you distinguish between different DACs? All competently designed DAC's sound alike - whether they cost $100 or $10,000. That's my belief/experience. Your beliefs and experiences may differ. DAC's are not turntables! In fact all competent DAC"s measure closely for distortion and noise. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, @mijostyn : I agree! The DQ-10's we're game-changers for the speaker market. Until the Time Windows came along a few years later! BTW I have the TW's AND DQ-10's. The last awaiting space for set up. |
