| Roger Waters Live Last Night in Glendale,AZ I’ve seen Roger Waters many times. Love his music, but he has to be in the running for All-time Greatest Hypocrite. Face value of tickets for his shows have been north of $250 for at least the last dozen years or so. He has become fabulously wealt... | |
| Steely Dan Catalog on UHQR Vinyl Mine are ordered! Can’t wait! | |
| Madman! Digital vs Vinyl Interesting challenge- I’ll give it a shot, however, I’ve always found Madman to be a horribly recorded album. Very dark, almost veiled. | |
| CD v Streamed I am relatively new to the streaming game. I just recently built out the digital side of my system. I have found that streaming an MQA file off of Tidal, or most of my high-res files on my NAS sound far better than CD’s through the same DAC. (Berk... | |
| Dallas or Texas-based audio companies Silent Source Audio Cables is in Dallas. All of my interconnects, power cords, etc are from Silent Source. Incredible products. | |
| I nominate this company as building best speakers! Clearly, there is no “best” speaker or, in my opinion, piece of equipment. I’ve always been happy with a piece being “in the discussion”. Ultimately, there are too many variables in a system. But, most importantly, the individual’s perception or ... | |
| Your favourite music movie? My Top Three:- Almost Famous- absolutely love this movie- This is Spinal Tap- I still laugh every time I watch it. - The Swell Season- well written, great music, good story. I highly recommend if you missed it. | |
| Amp comparison I had a Ref110 and upgraded to GS150 (the predecessor of the Ref150se) and the difference is striking. I have not regretted the move for a second. | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used This is an EASY answer: Silent Source. Frank Dickens, the owner of SS works closely with Pass Labs on all things power/ power supply related. His cables are what they use to voice their equipment. Yes, I own them (SS cables and cords) and I love t... | |
| Maybe looking at the following to replace my Magico S-5 MK 1 If you’re going to talk to Gideon at Audio Arts you should definitely listen to the Zellatons. Audio Arts is the only Zellaton Dealer in the US. | |
| Price No Object Amps @gdhal,Hey, now! :) | |
| Price No Object Amps Hi Mike,I was going to comment that the closest thing I've heard to those amps would be when I've heard yours! It it would be hard for me to believe that any of those would sound much better than your Dart Zeals. Of course, it's all about the "sys... | |
| What is your speaker ownership history since 1995? I haven't made nearly as many changes. Each time I have "upgraded" speakers it seems as if they became the strongest part of my system. I then lived with them for a while and enjoyed them until I felt like there was an opportunity to grow. I feel ... | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC I have had tremendous success with Feet of Silence by Solid Tech. I think the greatest advantage to the FOS is that you can use them on virtually any surface and get consistent results. I found this review on Audiogon. I have used FOS in my system... | |
| whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money As you have probably reaiized, there is no one correct answer. Most of us probably feel pretty strongly about the cables we use or just "the cable debate" in general. I love Silent Source cables. At this point I can't see using any others. They ar... |
