| Beatles: Mono a Mono Again, I'm not looking for a comparison of mono vs stereo, but rather a comparison of the 4 mono versions of the Beatles' early records issued in 1987 (Please Please Me, With the Beatles, Beatles for Sale, Help) to the mono versions of these same ... | |
| New Beatles remasters Thanks Mike. That is what I am looking for. For me, the most important aspect is the realism of the sound. I found, for example, that the sound of the Rolling Stones re-masters is a good deal less real than the sound of the originals.Some reviewer... | |
| New Beatles remasters Those of you who have made the comparison so far: Can you be more detailed about the ways in which the new versions seem better than the old? Ie, what about the sound is better now? Just saying they're better doesn't help promote dialogue or under... | |
| Matched Tubes do I need them and why? You might consider purchasing them from Roger Modjeski at Music Reference.He selected matched tubes for Atma-Sphere monoblocks I used to have in my system, and they never sounded so good. | |
| Matched Tubes do I need them and why? Do you want the two channels of your system to sound the same or different? | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? Well, between Ozzy and Cyclonicman, it sounds like we have divergent opinions already. | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? Cyc: What I'm talking about are the differences between the old and new STEREO versions of Rubber Soul. It is these that are said that there are minimal differences. Is that your experience too? | |
| CD Cases Some of the cardboard CD album covers come with translucent plastic sleeves for the CDs, similar to the plastic sleeves made for LPs. This seems to address the scratching problem.Sleeves like this are available in the after-market at about $0.04 p... | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? Thanks. The NY Times reviewer said there was little difference between the stereo versions of Rubber Soul, so I was wondering whether your experience was different.I've ordered the original and new re-masters of the stereo versions of Abbey Road a... | |
| How to listen to the Beatles re-releases? Which Rubber Soul? Mono or stereo? | |
| Tonearm re-wire - what would you use? Schmendrick: Are you suggesting you don't think there's a material difference? | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound I'm sure the technology is confidential, but if you've found a way to prevent RF from leaking into the system while the power cord is connected, that also does not employ RF filters which themselves degrade the sound, that would really be something. | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound What is the advantage of battery power if you're still plugged in to the AC grid, and therefore have done nothing to reduce RF?The battery that comes with my preamp can go days without being recharged. It all depends on the technology the manufact... | |
| battery powered with 'vivid' sound I have a battery-operated preamp from another manufacturer. The point of disconnecting the power cord from the preamp during operation is to address RF issues that would otherwise result from being connected to the AC grid, or even having an uncon... | |
| Tonearm re-wire - what would you use? Stringreen: Do you think any balanced connectors are as good as the Eichmann silver RCAs? Ie, isn't there a concern that the bulky XLR connectors will be a detriment to signal transmission?Frogman: Kudos to you for being able to manage the Audio N... |
