| Song covers that are better than the originals Pat Boone wrote Enter Sandman? You're joking, right? | |
| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time First few that came to mind - Hendrix - Axis: Bold as LovePearl Jam - VsMetallica - Ride the LightningSantana - AbraxasLed Zepplin - Led Zeppelin 2Tool - Undertow or Aenima, depending on what you'd call Opiate. Opiate was their first release, but ... | |
| Integrated with good headphone output I had an NAD 320BEE and really liked the headphone section. The headphone section is a better in my Bryston B60, but it's also 10x more expensive. My NAD 304 integrated had a great headphone section as well.Not sure how the headphone-philes rate N... | |
| The OFFICAL Apple TV thread Apple devices won't play WAV. Not sure about Macs, but the iPod/iPad/iPhone, AE or ATV won't play them. | |
| Apple TV sound quality as a transport Farjamed,Are you using the original ATV or the current one? My gen 1 ATV outputs at 44.1. I know this because my previous Theta DAC wouldn't decode 48, according to Theta's tech.The current ATV reportedly outputs everything at 48. I haven't heard ... | |
| Best DAC for Sonos If you've got $1k to spend, you should really make it a point to hear the Rega DAC. I like it far better than what's been mentioned. I've owned one since January and am done looking for upgrades for a very long time.It does a great job with jitter... | |
| "Best" DAC for a grand or less I've heard many DACs at $1k and under. Not all, but many. I chose the Rega DAC. It was easily the best DAC I've heard in that range. Contrary to what was said about it earlier, it does NOT have XLR - in or out. Someone in another thread mentioned ... | |
| Rega Apollo Vs. Saturn? The Rega DAC doesn't do high-res through USB. It'll handle it through all other inputs, but not USB. Could be downsampling, but I'm not sure how you're getting it to work. | |
| Integrated or speakers Musicrover -In your case, I'd audition speaker and integrateds together to find a great match. Once found, I'd get an integrated amp first. Yamaha isn't the most honest company when it comes to specs as they tend to overstate their power output. I... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Photok,I knew that Bleach was Nirvana's first album, but wasn't Nevermind their first major label debut? I thought Bleach didn't get much distribution until a while after Nevermind. Hence my calling Nevermind a sort-of debut. Maybe I'm wrong. Woul... | |
| Integrated or speakers All this advice and no one asked what his system is, unless I'm missing something.What's the current system - source(s), amplification, and speakers? Are the speakers set up/placed correctly? Is the room treated? The system is only as good as the ... | |
| Perfect Debute Albums I forgot about Pearl Jam's Ten, STP's Core, and Nirvana's Nevermind. Add to my list that hasn't been mentioned yet...Rage Against The Machine - self titled.Too bad those guys didn't put out another album or two. No idea why they split. | |
| Perfect Debute Albums Jimi Hendrix - Are You ExperiencedLed Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin 1Black Sabbath - Black SabbathMetallica - Kill 'Em All | |
| Most helpful audio companies I have nothing but praise for Bryston. I've spoken to the guys in Canada over the phone several times, and they've been outstanding. The US guys are great too. James Tanner (part owner/VP) and Mike Pickett (designer) are truly classy guys who love... | |
| Pre/Amp/Int for Vandersteen 2ce Sig II for +/-$3k Why isn't vintage Mac a good idea? If you're ok with the risks of any vintage gear, Mac is a very safe bet. They can fix and tune up pretty much anything they've ever made. It's not free and nor is it cheap, but it's more than most companies can s... |
