| SACD WINS! SACD has hit first, and that means it has hit twice. Never mind that the blow is pretty weak, as we all know industry trends are usually commercially driven and not quality driven. Almost all of the SACD material out there does not significantly i... | |
| Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio? Look, don't get me wrong, dynamic range is a great thing... but I wonder which one of you has a speaker with a dynamic range over 110 dB ? Or a room that can handle the difference between ppp and fff ? Probably none. On the other hand the analog s... | |
| Best Car Stereo I love to listen to the standard Bose equipment on my Mercedes 4x4 to remind myself of the crap that most people are listening to courtesy of lies and advertising and reinforce my unwavering commitment to achieve better sound. Just kidding (partly... | |
| Cheap SACD Player or wait for DVD Audio? All the junk I have read from audiophiles in this forum and in AudioAsylum (ugh) about SACD make me wonder about this hobby. It is unbelievably clear that most SACD players suck because their analog stages are complete junk, as a poster above high... | |
| New Speakers In that price category the Vandersteen 5's are almost unbeatable. Stay away from the incohherent speakers that use high order crossovers, like the Revels, ProAcs, etc. They sound great in the dealers room and become fatiguing at home. They are not... | |
| Opinion on Buena Vista social club CD? There is the original, which is terrific. Then there are at least to solo albums I recomend, one by Omara Portuondo and one by Ibrahim Ferrer. Now they've come out with a live version which is supposed to be great. By the way, if you like this typ... | |
| Best sounding CD of Brass? Zubin Mehta rendition of Holst's The Planets on Decca/London CD. Also Vaughan Williams' Sinfonia Anartica on Naxos ($6 !!) has outstanding brass. Or try the Thin Red Line soundtrack which is the toughest workout you can give any system (beware of ... | |
| Do CD-R's sound the same as originals Ktomas, I echo your question precisely. Centurymantra's post raises some interesting issues but it is not clear to me whether he is implying that the time-delays occur when a player reads a CD-R which is an exact digital replica (1s and 0s) of the... | |
| Best Sappy Pop Music for Audiophiles James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Donald Fagen's The Nightfly | |
| Moon W-5 Or Marsh A400 Power amp They are both great amps. I consider the Marsh slightly more neutral than the Moon, but it is highly subjective since they are both terrific. This is one of those cases where I don't have a definitive opinion, although for reasons of price I would... | |
| Anyone heard the marsh and odyssey amps? I am not aware of any Marsh CD player in existence. | |
| Best reviewers I am also revolted by J10's self-centeredness. Actually a lot of bloated-egophile reviewers regularly post on AudioAsylum, where you can verify what is being said here. Some equally egotistic equipment manufacturers and designers do to. And if I m... | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? By the way, I am not referring to speaker break-in, which is obvious. I am referring to solid state and cable "burn-in" which I cannot really detect. | |
| "Burn in" Are you serious? Redkiwi and the rest, I will postpone my veredict on burn-in until I have a better room. All I am saying is that at least some of those who are hearing burn-in effects can't possibly because they do not have a revealing enough system-room combinat... |
