| Why vinyl? Fun articles - thanks for posting.The whole format thing is, IMO, something only we get worked up about. I have two kids, and both of them love music, constantly listen, are always listening to new music. Neither has the money to focus much on sou... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue How much overlap is there between the two series in terms of titles produced? | |
| Silliest audiophile equipment of all time? $25K CD transports. | |
| I was driving my wife's new 2008 Acura RDX Have you made sure the treble adjustment isn't cranked all the way up? Every time I turn on a stereo in a test drive or a rental car, the treble and bass are maxed out. I guess some people like it like that. | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire I have owned them both as well - they're both fantastic IMO. Both are excellent on the low-end - I think the Sapphire is even a bit better than the C4 - but I listen to mostly Rock, Blues and Jazz, and not to solo piano, so I'm not sure that I wou... | |
| Flat Anechoic Measured Frequency Response Speakers All of the Dunlavy models measured remarkably flat, anechoically. | |
| On the Fence with Analog Vs. Digital. Need Help I think a computer-based digital setup serves a different purpose than a vinyl setup. I also think you don't have to spend $3K to get really good sound from a computer-based digital system, assuming you already have a computer.There are many DACs ... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Scoutmaster Sig Thanks for the responses. To try to address some of the questions:I listen mostly to jazz, rock and blues.I don't have a phone stage - I'd like to think a phono stage in an Ayre or Boulder preamp (or other), but I'd be happy to look in whatever di... | |
| What is a good, compact sized integrated amp?? One of the older Linn Majik integrated amps. You'd have to check the dimensions to be sure it would work, but it's a wonderful little integrated that goes for less than $500 used. | |
| Local audio dealer absolutely essential I'm all for good dealers and have definitely developed a relationship with the one good dealer in my city, but what about a manufacturer standing behind their product? I couldn't find your thread about what happened with PSB, but if it took your d... | |
| Has Anyone heard The Boulder 1021 CD player? That also sounds similar to how a computer does it to, at least as a transport. | |
| dynaudio confidence 5 versus contour S5.4 There is no way you will be satisfied with those amps driving the C5's - they will take all a stout 400wpc amp will deliver and more.I've owned many pairs of Dyns, but never either of the pairs you're thinking of, so my input is at best an educate... | |
| OUCH My Dynaudio's have crashed.... You should be able to troubleshoot where the problem likely lies without shipping - presumably the sound is bad if you connect the speakers normally, so see if you can figure out how to open the cabinet to get to the drivers. Assuming you can (and... | |
| What Subwoofer is the best bang for the buck? I think the Velodyne DD series is phenomenal, and the prices have really come down. | |
| Has Anyone heard The Boulder 1021 CD player? Haven't heard it, but would also be interested in knowing how $24K worth of CD player sounds. |
