| Dylan's Voice/ Better Now? I think you will find that among musicians, Bob Dylan's is not and has not ever been considered a very good voice at all. This does not mean, however, that he is not expressive. He is certainly considered a much better songwriter than he is a perf... | |
| If you had $2000 to upgrade this system... For me, the analog part of your system could be significantly upgraded with a $2000 budget. Any number of turntables and phonostages out there could do you significantly better than the Technics/Black Cube combo, especially if you listen to alot o... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Hey Bryon, don't be yawnin' at my boy Hamlet now...if, however, the yawn was for Geoff, then I concur. | |
| How does one copy cassette tapes to computer? Thanks very much for the responses, everyone! I will relay this info to my friend, and also possibly make use of it myself when I get the time! | |
| Is good customer service about dead? My experience with customer service in high end audio is almost without exception excellent. It better be, for the price. | |
| Opinion on the Pro-Ject tube box 2 My brother owns one, and likes it very much in his system. He brought it up to my house a while back, and we compared it directly to my Bellari. In my system, the Bellari was better - bigger soundstage, better resolution of timbre. | |
| Changing from Vinyl to Digital in Brave New World Whart, my earlier post was actually very serious. I think, based on what you say, that you would seriously regret giving up on vinyl completely. I would suggest that you cull the collection for the move, and that you could probably replace just ab... | |
| Changing from Vinyl to Digital in Brave New World My advice - don't do it. There are lots of great record stores in the Austin area! | |
| speakers for low level listening One of the biggest misconceptions about horn speakers is that they only play loud. They are actually equally good on the very soft end. Of course, if you are looking for something small, then horns won't fill that bill. | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Hi Iramirez - I understand that a whole lot of audiophiles like subs, and I am sure the one you mention is a good one. I do not dispute that. My point about subs is that if we are talking about unamplified, acoustically produced music, they are si... | |
| Where should I go next? Where are my weak links? Nice system. You say you listen mostly to vinyl. Do you listen to mostly unamplified, acoustic music? If so, my suggestion would be to remove the sub from the system. You will almost certainly be very pleasantly surprised by the result. | |
| digital vs vinyl thoughts Hi Unsound - while what you say about some performers using the mike to hide things is certainly true in some situations, in many cases they defer to the "sound guys," usually with very unfortunate consequences. These guys can be VERY infuriating,... | |
| digital vs vinyl thoughts Unsound, another way to say what Minor1 is saying is that surface noise is just that - on the surface, and can be listened through to the music. Digital distortions are more seriously disruptive to the sound of the music itself than analog distort... | |
| Prima Luna Prolog 1 and ipod Hi Rel - I didn't know that the higher resolution files could be loaded into an ipod. I don't use one, at least 85% of my listening is to vinyl, so I was indeed referring to mp3 files. I stand corrected. | |
| Prima Luna Prolog 1 and ipod I can't resist asking why on earth you would want to do this?? As you say, the ipod quality is very poor, and that won't change no matter what you hook it up to. |
