| "Emotionally involving" music and your system... The Grateful Dead, 10/9/89 Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA. The show was billed as "Formerly, The Warlocks". That night the band broke out Dark Star for the 1st time since 1984, Death Don't Have No Mercy for the second time since 1970, and Attics of... | |
| Source for JVC XRCD For jazz you really should look at the Fantasy Records line of K2 recordings. Seems to be the same technology, amazing sound quality, and regular cd prices. Do a search on K2's, there's a thread explaining what very little difference there may be.... | |
| Martin Logans and Smokers Hey how bout getting the speakers and using them as the reason to quit smoking? When my girlfriend and I moved into our current apartment there was a no smoking clause in the lease and my girlfriend decided that it would be the perfect excuse to q... | |
| Can anyone name that digital front end? Go to the general asylum on www.audioasylum.com and an inmate named Jeff Day has posted pics of almost every room and I think Totem was one of them. | |
| dac/transport/preamp connection problem..Help I'd say Mejames is probably right. Does the dac have multiple inputs? I know this sounds stupid but do you have the correct input selected. If so, if you have another cd player with a digital out try hooking it up to the dac. If you still get no s... | |
| Great Customer Service Jimwitnauer,Please keep in my mind that my story did not involve a piece of Krell equipment breaking, it involved me dropping and breaking something. Beyond that, the cd player has operated flawlessly and is a joy to use. As far as high end equipm... | |
| Zaikesman's Username Pronunciation Field Guide Jond is pronounced J-O-N-D. It stands for my name, Jon Daniels. Hey Gunbei, doesn't your name mean "bottoms up" in Chinese? | |
| Gear NOT in your audio system - what do you like? I once had the chance to listen to a Linn CD12 in a dealers system for a while- wow! It was an active all-Linn system and it was the best sound I think I've ever heard. | |
| Best Grateful Dead recording? For those recommending acoustic stuff, Garcia and Grisman, Old and In the Way, etc., I have to say that "The Pizza Tapes" with Garcia, Grisman, and Tony Rice is not only great music, but one of the most alive and realistic sounding recordings I ow... | |
| Best Grateful Dead recording? Ericd74,50 bucks for 5/8/77 on cd? Ouch! That's a very common and uniformly great sounding tape/cd, if my burner weren't currently on the fritz I'd burn the person who started this thread a copy right now. A note to all, there are two many ways to... | |
| Amazing XRCD I just purchased.... Hdm,That's exactly what I was looking for, thank you very much! Just as I suspected the mastering chain is almost identical. That definitely makes K2's the way to go, as if I didn't know that already from the sound quality. In fact I'm listening t... | |
| Amazing XRCD I just purchased.... Curbach,Could you please elaborate on the manufacturing process being different? Are you referring to the mastering chain or something else? Either way what specific differences are there? Sorry to pepper you with questions but you are getting to ... | |
| Amazing XRCD I just purchased.... Mikes,Try going to www.fantasyrecords.com. They produce k2's and you can buy direct from them. Somewhere on the website is a list of all currently available k2's, I can remember the exact link but if you cruise the site you can figure it out. Good... | |
| Help Smoke rising from 300B amp When you look at the pins at the bottom of the 300B tubes not that two are larger and two are smaller. Make sure the pins are plugged into the right sockets based on their size. This is a very common mistake. However at this point I wouldn't mess ... | |
| Amazing XRCD I just purchased.... Well I guess I'm a cheap audiophile then! I've been loading up on K2's but still have yet to buy an XRCD. I'm pretty sure the difference is mostly price and marketing. On the other hand the difference between K2's and regular cd's is staggering. I... |
