| Why can't I hear 20 years of phono 'progress'?? I second Ultrakaz. Clearly the best post to this thread. Please report your findings. | |
| PC and isolation device for Linn Classik Hi,I honestly don't believe you will get much bang for the buck with the power cord. If the Classic has the Brilliant Power Supply like my Linn separates then it's a waste of money for sure. I don't know about isolation since I don't have a CDP. F... | |
| Sound Engineering record weight Mark,I'm not an owner of this record weight, nor do I know the manufacturer. Let me assure you though that if I understand this concept correctly, and assuming that it works, $490 is a bargain. Such an item would require considerable expertise to ... | |
| Just a kind word of thanks Dougdeacon summed it up for me. Zaikes is knowledgable and informative through the threads. Twl is very giving of his time and expertise too. Great guys both. There are so many unsung heroes here. | |
| Skipping CD's I agree with Sean totally. Love or hate Linn, their CDP's are as reliable as you can buy. I only have one observation that I would like to share with everyone. I burn CD's to play in my truck and have found the most generic, plain, non-labeled dis... | |
| Do we break in our componets or do our componets ? Uh, gee, hate to say it but Pbb shared some truth. Lak nailed in perfectly though. Break in is a real deal but usually not making huge differences. I do believe some pieces make break in an agonizing affair though my equipment hasn't done that to ... | |
| Female Vocalist like Diana Krall, Jacintha. Karla Bonoff. Not a weak cut on any of her albums. These aren't audiophile recordings but plain, good music. Writes most of her own music too. Going to see her live for the first time Friday night in an intimate, nearly perfect acoustical venue. I... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Slappy,No disagreement from me although I haven't heard any of the Eminem CD's you mention, just a few cuts here and there. Unless it's available on vinyl it won't get an audition in my system because I don't have a CDP. And, you're right this isn... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Zaikesman,I really don't know quite how to start this reply being as low brow as I am. First, Willie Nelson is one of the most prolific song writers in the history of music and his album Stardust was definitely a minimalist recording. Yeah, there ... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Sdcampbell, Your years in this hobby exceed mine by only a couple. I'll admit that my system isn't anywhere on a par with yours. That being said, I've got somewhere around ten examples on LP that would meet your criteria for technicality and the c... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Zaikesman,I don't think I've ever taken issue with one of your posts but if I am reading you right, then you don't believe any of the recordings offered by myself and others were technically done right. Would you please explain yourself?Like most ... | |
| The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD Champtree, I too have #3 as well as #2. By far, the content and realizm of the original is best. It's readily available on Pablo records for next to nothing. It's also avilable from Analogue Productions (the same company that did "Breaking Silence... | |
| Summertime: little listening time It's like that for me with a number of things. Whenever I return from vacation the system sure sounds sweeter than before I left. After a long winter breaking out the hot rod for the first pass down the old quarter mile it sure seems faster than i... | |
| Audio Diversity - What is it? Tom,Great thread. I'm sure there are many things going on here.One, as a pretty darn good photographer let me make this analogy. The first 35mm camera I got my hands on was a Nikon Nikormat. This was while I was taking a photography course in my f... | |
| Classic rock album covers My favorite cover art is by Roger Huyssen. I'm pretty certain that Twl's "Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano" is done by this artist. I have Bellson, Brown and Smith's "Intensive Care" as another example of his work. He sells his work through his webs... |
