| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Listening to clips from Rome right now (via Amazonz) and really like it. So much so that I was going to overnight it, but it's not released until next week! | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? Encouraging to read that the Vandersteens do well with Classical music. I was worried that this would be their Achille's heel. I heard them with classical briefly at the last RMAF and wasn't as impressed as I was the year before (with jazz). | |
| Hearing loss Temporary or more permanent? My piano is 85 db (playing at normal velocity).I find anything under 83 db to be non-realistic and non-involving. That said, I can listen to volumes lower in the mornings (even 75db) and be engaged, but after a day's work (office work, nothing lou... | |
| Vandersteen 5As...first impressions Truly a great speaker, congrats! | |
| Best Integrated amp for Wilson Audio Sasha The 4th time I heard Wilson Sashas, it was with a Perreaux integrated and it sounded better than the previous 3 auditions (although there were more variables than just the electronics).My point is, the combo sounded very good to my ears. | |
| How's the Synergy between Lamm1.2ref and AR REF5 I briefly owned the Ref5 and while I thought the mids and highs were nice, I thought the bass was so soft it was almost laughable, but I do wish I could hear it with the Lamm M1.2 as it has much better bass than the amp I had back then. | |
| Best format for SteelyDan... I also thought the MFSL Katy Lied was terrible. All bass, no highs. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... God I love threads like this, such a fun way to discover new music! | |
| Sophia 2/Magico V2 versus Sasha/Magico V3 Yes, I settled on the Sasha.I think the V2s will do nicely in your size room. | |
| perfect speakers for atmasphere amp and preamp I've heard the MA-1 / Vandy 5A combo that Metman refers to in the above post. Beautiful combo. | |
| pacific valve&electric I can also recommend them. | |
| Favourite ECM Titles Amazon doesn't seem to list Chants, Hymms and Dances. Any suggestions on where I might find it?The Astounding Eyes of Rita is one of my favorites so I figure I need to hear this one. | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Yes, it could be that I am sensitive to this region. Interesting that the tweeter doesn't come into play until 3k, I'll have re-read the review. | |
| Avalon Acoustics vs Wilson Audio Just a warning about going with Wison: if you like instrumental music, they are great, but they tend to be very fatiguing with vocals: sibilants and other consonants will shred your ears at times - not on all material, but a lot of it (even good r... | |
| Help with VTL TL 5.5 Preamp I tried the 5.5 and gave up it. It was two grainy/noisey for my ears. |
