| Do all good interconnects sound the same? I am always amazed that some of the people that design some of the best audio components use some of the crappiest components to drive them with or listen to them from.This has not been my experience at all. From the shows I've attended, and the h... | |
| Do all good interconnects sound the same? His products may won the award, but hey , the prettiest girl almost never won Miss USA Pageant.In defense of Sanders products, which I've heard twice, they are certainly worthy of recognition at that level IMHO. On interconnects; compare them your... | |
| Chopin Fantasie Impromptu, Opus 66 Thanks, Newbee! I'll keep an eye out for it. I've been enjoying the Hewlett disc you recommended, in spite of initially being disenchanted with the sonics. I still find the piano to sound a bit distant, but do enjoy the performance. You inspired m... | |

| What is Musicality? I'm on board with those who define the term to mean the disappearing act that well-assembled system is capable of - when the system is gone and all that's there is the music...it is about engagement. My acid test for a system is how easy it is to ... | |

| Best Dac with USB input for $1,000 or less Tranquility DAC? I seem to recall a lengthy horn-tootin' post on that DAC over on AudioCircle - was that you on that trumpet as well? I haven't heard much else about it except [URL=http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1258679140&r... |
