| Interesting Music Discoverys I love listening to the soundtrack to The Living Sea by Sting. The music itself is excellent and the soundstaging and instrumentation is great for showing off your system. | |
| Listening devices when will they start to fail? I'm not sure of a correlation between age and hearing loss, but I do know that there are factors that are in our control. The association between excessive volume and hearing loss has been made. Even short durations of exposure can cause a permane... | |
| Best CDs for vocals? Anything by Phoebe Snow. | |
| What is your "evaluation cd"? For enjoyment of a great recording, I also like to listen to my Burmester discs. However, this is not what I put on first when I upgrade. The first thing I do when I make a change in my system is get my wife, put her in the primary listening posit... | |
| McCormack Upgrade reviews Thanks for the correction Craig. You're right. | |
| McCormack Upgrade reviews I had my DNA-1 Deluxe upgraded to Revision A Gold almost two years ago. The difference was astonishing and I have not regreted it at all. Every aspect of the amp was vastly improved. It was not inexpensive, but I feel it was definately worth it. I... | |
| Miracord 50H Turntable Thanks for the responses. Because it was my Dad's, I would never get rid of it even when I do upgrade. I'll spend whatever I need to now to improve it. It's in excellent condition and I look forward to listening to it. | |
| Should I stick to the same manufaturer? I would say that your cd player is not up to the quality of your other components and would change that first. | |
| Most beautiful violin recording you have heard Good question, but difficult to answer. Heifetz playing Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto comes to my mind immediately. His performance of Bruck's Scottish Fantasy and Beethoven's Violin Concerto also rank high with me. | |
| Mountain I might be mistaken, but I believe Nantucket Sleighride was an album by a band called Seatrain. Mississippi Queen is on Mountain's Mountain Climbing album. | |
| Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers? I'm driving mine with a McCormack DNA-1 Deluxe Revision A Gold and I have no complaints. | |
| Receiver as Tuner Thanks. I followed your advice and used the tape out. It's working fine for now. Time for some tuner research. | |
| $400 CAL CD player- Scrap it or fix it? I had purchased a DX-1 also that had the same sypmtoms as yours. My local dealer sent it back to CAL for a repair and took a $40 deposit. After a few weeks, I was told it needed a new laser mechanism and the estimate was quite high. I'm not sure i... | |
| McCormack amp upgrade / midbass warmth? I haven't heard the 225. I do have a DNA-1 Deluxe that was upgraded to full Revision A Gold, except for the balanced inputs, this past summer. I absolutely love this amp and the difference is incredible. I would easily do it all over again. I also... | |
| Best Retailer Youve Done Business With? I'll second Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. John is a great guy and very knowledgeable. I've never felt rushed or like he was ever trying to make a sale or push me in a particular direction. He seems to just love doing what he does and has been ve... |
