| Lucinda Williams Fans? Also I just went to Amazon and ordered it! Now I can't wait! | |
| Lucinda Williams Fans? She is great! Fantastic songs and a great voice, though I think Gillian Welch's voice is just a bit better. It's great having them both though! | |
| How Big is Your Music Collection CD's- 550SACD's- 2 but listened to as cd'sLP's- 60DVD-V's- 4And always growing! | |
| What to buy C123666,The obvious question is, if Lirpa Audio Designs are the absolute best, why aren't they in your system? I don't mean to be a smartass (this time) but with that kind of recommendation I would think that you used those speakers. Hopefully you... | |
| Cable support poll. I have a group of very young children doing this for me. It keeps them off the streets and they perform a badly needed service at the same time. Care and feeding's a bitch though! | |
| strange sounds on rvg recordings/ or i'm crazy Vocalizing, especially by piano players is quite common. Oscar Peterson in particular does this on almost all of his recordings. I think that as recording and our stereo systems improve we are simply better able to hear things like this, like it o... | |
| Reimyo CDP vs EMM Labs/Meitner Dgad,I just wanted to make sure that you realize the Reimyo isn't a SACD player, it's just a redbook cd player. Brianmgrarcom: Reimyo is a line of Japanese electronics made be the people who do the Harmonix cables and anti-resonance products. It's... | |
| Other Hobbies? Wine, watching baseball (go O's!) and watching college basketball (go Terps!). That of course assumes that sports viewing is a hobby, perhaps it's not. | |
| JJ243 Pre-Amp - impressions please For right around $2K and maybe just a bit under if you keep an eye out, try a Herron VTSP 1A, I have one and think it's just fantastic, as good a preamp as I've heard, as well as dead quiet and reliable. | |
| Replace CD player or add DAC? I would sell the Marantz and the MF and combine that $$ with the $1500 you already have and use that money to buy a new player. There are so many great players on here for $15-1800 why not get one, upgrading your tranport and dac at the same time.... | |
| Do you remember your first cd? I still have it, Wynton Marsalis, "Standard Time Vol. 3", I bought it from the store I worked at, it had been dropped from the rotation to play in the store and I picked it up for $2. Sadly, being 20 at the time, 1991, I didn't even have a cd play... | |
| Bose 901 Wow, you sure picked the wrong place to ask that question! I would suggest searching the archives for Bose threads, and be prepared for some rather pointed responses. I have no particular prejudices against Bose but I will say they can't hold a ca... | |
| RIP Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen His work with Oscar Peterson was fantastic. A truly sad day for jazz, may he rest in peace. | |
| What is the best tube integrated amp? An Air Tight ATM-1 can be used as a dual input integrated as it has dual mono attenuators. It's a great amp at about 36 watts per channel. For a monitor look for something efficient, perhaps something from Reference 3A or Soliloquy. | |
| why does preamp improve sound quality? A good preamp can improve the impedance matching between sourced and amp, and also give the music more body and life, primarily from extra gain. I've tried it both ways and have preferred a good preamp every time. |
