| Bands that had a "masterpiece", w/ common theme Cool thread.Here's a flier, Bob Dylan's "Desire." Couldn't say what the concept is, but it always struck me that it has something on his other great albums from the period (like "Blood on the Tracks"); not so many great songs, maybe, but somehow m... | |
| CDP choices-Looking for advice My advise is to not fret the grammar and usage around here, Al; in that direction lies madness! ;) J | |
| SS integrated with a good DAC A couple of Bel Canto units here now, but for a bit more than I'd guessed. No connection to sellers. J | |
| SS integrated with a good DAC There's this, from Bel Canto. http://www.belcantodesign.com/Belcanto_S300i_Integrated_Amplifier.html I think it retails for 2k, so it should hit your price point used, if it comes up. I seem to remember reading favorable press. John | |
| Who has found happiness giving up on DACs? CDPs not getting an overabundance of love here. J | |
| Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K The "you need to audition" advice is doubtless right, but sometimes overstated.Auditioning is a lot of effort, given that many manufacturers have limited distribution: I've been looking for a speakers for about a year, and through business travel,... | |
| Best speakers for about $3500 Fourthing Duke!! :) J | |
| Wilco on Austin City Limits Wish I gotten some of Rockyboy's 2007 action on the impending demise of Wilco! Saw Uncle Tupelo a few times in the early 90s -- in 1990, in the nearly empty Blind Pig in Ann Arbor, which was a revelation. A truly remarkable band. I enjoyed the fir... | |
| Speaker cabinet made of real wood Dodgealum:I would like to hear about the room switch, if you get a chance (and also any thoughts on your DA model choice). If you think this risks a thread hijack, a PM would be nice, if you have a chance. Thx,John | |
| Who has found happiness giving up cd player? I'm very happy I made the switch from CD to computer based; hard to say about particular comparisons, but in my experience it is certainly possible to implement computer digital that competes sonically with a good CDP. Additional pluses are conven... | |
| Music Servers vs. High-End CD & DAC--Help Please Mac Mini or laptop with high capacity external drive (eg Lacie) in RAID array. Uncompressed file format like AIFF. Software augment to iTunes such as Pure Music.This is, of course, just one implementation of PC Audio route. Many routes will give g... | |
| Teresonic Integrum Speakers Lots of speaker companies out there; isn't this a good reason to look elsewhere:"I am admittedly a little concerned and perplexed because I have been calling the telephone number listed on their web site but I only get the same voice mail message ... | |
| Pure Vinyl/Amarra Yes, Pure Music and Amarra seem to be the main competitors for audiophile music playback programs. There have been numerous readilysearchable threads on these products, and I bet the names are familiar to a majority of audiogoners who are working ... | |
| soft dome speakers I replaced some speakers with metal drivers that were fatiguing for me with soft-domed Northcreeks. I've enjoyed them for four years. They should have something at your pricepoint, though a bit of diy may be required. John | |
| Speaker cabinet made of real wood Thanks Al! That's very helpful. Engaged in a laborious speaker search, and wondering if the Ulysses might work in my comparatively small room (approx 13.5 x13.5 x 9h, opening onto other rooms on two sides). I'm guessing the smaller Daedalus might ... |
