| Chamber Music - your best pick. Haydn, The Seven Words, Rosamunde Quartett ECMI don't think it falls into the periods you named, but fits the genre: try out some of the astounding music played by Jordi Savall on his label, Alia Vox. This is all early music (baroque) with some em... | |
| Speaker Stands Absolutely, positively makes a big difference in imaging and sound staging in my experience. I'm assuming you are comparing to just putting them on a shelf - you didn't really specify what the 'difference' was in comparison to (on the floor, again... | |
| The most unique style speakers that sound good? I'm a big fan of what Josh Stippich does with materials and creativity in speaker design. No question that his is of the most unique designs out there. But I'd look at Electronluv speakers, and fully expect them to sound outstanding. You just don'... | |
| recommendations for newbie It may be a bit large for your purposes, but the Berning Micro-ZOTL is wonderful head-amp. I used mine for much the same purpose as you describe - I brought mine on an extended road trip and it made for a great companion for my iPod and a pair of ... | |
| Any Massive Attack Fans Out There? A quick search yielded only Massive Attack "Gift Pack" which seems to be a CD/DVD package, due out on October 30, 2007. None of the sites say whether this is new material or repackaged, best-of stuff. You can pre-order it on Amazon, or your favori... | |
| Ethics: To what degree? Many wise responses thus far, and I'd agree that disclosure is part of what the forums are about. Just the facts, mam. A manufacturer should be willing to stand by their conduct, absolutely. I would like to know that if I purchase, say, an Audio A... | |
| Horns for SET: Low budget solutions If LaScalas are too large, then I'd look for a pair of Klipsch Cornwalls. A vintage pair can be anywhere from garage sale prices, which could be ridiculously low, to around $900 at the high end. Careful in pairing a sub off with horns. Horns are e... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage 08-09-07: AudioengrKana813 - heard the TACT gear at CES. Do you drive the 2150 with a computer or a transport?I'm confused. Aren't the TacT 2150's amplifiers? Book'em Danno!Marco | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Also, I have modded a few EMC-1's as well. It has a LOT of design problems. It also uses a very old D/A chip and upsampler. If you thing this sounds good, this speaks volumes. A really good DAC will bury the EMC-1 or the ECD-1.Steve - Thanks for t... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Like Jeffreybowman2k & Jax2, I also own a Wavelength DAC, which is non up/over sampling.In my case, the operative word is "owned" a Wavelength DAC (Brick). I sold mine a while back when I put my second system into storage. I enjoyed it very mu... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Jax2, I believe that iTunes is supposed to be offering lossless downloads for selected labels. Also, check out magnatune.com, which has become my favorite site for downloading music. You can download in FLAC and it sounds great.Thank you, Michael.... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage I see eye-to-eye with Jeffreybowman2K's comments, but would add that if you buy a used iBook (good idea as they are plentiful and inexpensive), I'm not sure if they are compatible with the AppleRemote (you listed a remote as a requisite). In that ... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage Will this work with a MacI'm not familiar with their service. I'm pretty sure WMA can only be used with a Windows Media Player, and is not convertible to other file formats. Check with someone who knows better. I don't know if it is a true lossles... | |
| suggest laptop for music storage There are a few details in your request you are likely unaware of. If you want to store music in uncompressed format (or lossless), which is the best quality, it will take up quite a bit of space (300mb/CD lossless or 600mb/CD uncompressed). I don... | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? " Got sick of my job, sick of my wife, sick of my future and sick of my life. Jumped in the car and hit the gas , told everybody they can kiss my ___" I only quoted a short bit from the following song (actually, largely spoken word) in a previous ... |
