| Which is the best King Crimson remaster? To date, the best I've heard 'In The Court' sound was on the 2010 vinyl reissue.As for the Steven Wilson remixes of the catalog, I have not yet heard the surround mixes and have only heard 'Red' in Hi-Rez format. In general I think the Wilson remi... | |
| The Worst Speaker you have ever heard. These speakers sound much better making contact with an aluminum baseball bat...less ringing.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzK7aSxzGN0 | |
| A Momentary Lapse of Reason? Post-Waters Corporate Floyd? | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? Haven't heard them yet, but I'm very curious about the NAD M51 and the upcoming Schiit Statement DAC. | |
| Here comes the solar maximum. If something like the Carrington Event were to happen today, I think you'd have much more than your audio equipment to worry about. But if there are any sort of infrastructure-damaging possibilities from the CME I haven't seen much in the way of p... | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Sunny Cable Technology H3W12, in that $ ballpark. | |
| what is the best sounding speakers for under 5000. A third vote for AudioKinesis. Duke's speakers do Zeppelin just right--most don't IMO--and I'm a major Zeppelin head. Just the right amount of finesse for classic rock without masking anything. Bonham is trying to bash his way out of my room right... | |
| What equipment uses 5687 tubes? The YS Audio A2 linestage uses 5687s. I haven't found anything better than the Tung-Sol D-getters here, although they are a bit tipped up...but other 5687 types I've tried in the A2-SE make my system sound like a giant AM radio. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience What was the platform involved in this particular computer audio setup, if you don't mind me asking? Just curious.... | |
| Do you understand your amplifier? Systems engineer? If only I was making enough money to be able to call myself something like that. };0) | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0SE - Is there anything else? http://www.sasaudiolabs.com/specials.htmAt your budget I would take a serious look at the blemished SAS 11A listed at the link above. With a 30 day money back guarantee from Steve Sammet I think it's well worth the audition. | |
| Preamps for Atma-Sphere OTL Amplifiers Lately I've been using a YS Audio A2-SE with my S-30. It is virtually dead quiet in balanced operation. A strange, intriguing unit as it's still breaking in; will need to evaluate some more. | |
| Doge 8 or YS A2 or Jungson J2? Just out of curiosity, has anyone compared the Doge 8 to the YS Audio A2-SE, or the Eastern Electric Avant? I have the A2-SE here right now to play around with, but have not heard the others. | |
| Bargain Basement, Giant Killing DACs for PC Audio I have ordered the Burson Audio HA-160D, which should be shipping in a couple of weeks. While the Burson isn't 'dirt' cheap it is relatively inexpensive for a head amp/preamp/DAC combo piece, and the comments and reviews I've seen have in general ... | |
| Quality Red book CD I do like some of the older, 'non-remastered' CDs myself...what I DON'T like are the exorbitant prices I see for some of the more hyped-up OOP discs still floating around, especially when there's at least a 50% chance you'll be disappointed.I agre... |
