| Anyone who repairs Apogees in Chicago? You might check with Bob Dragunas 781-223-4575. Although he lives in Mass., he worked for Apogee and still does repairs. Did a great job on my Divas.Mike | |
| DD DTS THX.............. I agree with Sdcampball. In almost every case DTS blows DD away. But in my humble opinion, the Angstrom blows any of the past or current processers away when it comes to DTS and DD, even my Lexicon 12B! There's one for sale on audiogon now for $50... | |
| artists who most deeply touch you Justin Hayward solo and with Moody Blues | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? "In My World"--Moody Blues | |
| New Led Zeppelin I just got and played the new dvd in dts. Amazing how well the old recordings were remastered! Great job. Although all the tracks were excellent, the Albert Hall concert is the standout.Just like being there. | |
| SACD and DVD-A: Apples and Oranges? Now if they would just include sacd formats on a dvd as well as dvd-a and dts (the dvd is capable of storing the data, much more so than cd) we would all win! | |
| Some of my favorite songs are...... Although I have many favorites, including many listed above, here's a few more to ponder:Instrumental: Tangerine Dream--the whole side 2 of "Dream Sequence.Blues: Elvis--"reconsider Baby" from the DCC "Elvis is Back" That's right-Elvis!Rock/Pop:Mo... | |
| DD & DTS Fully agree with Tony. IMHO dts sounds better to me in all most every case (even against sacd & dvd-a) Also note that most dvds ( including dvd-a) have both dts and DD formats. I think dvd-a has a better potential than sacd as dvds can hold mu... | |
| Do SACD player start up slower What's 20-35 seconds longer to cue up a cd as long as the player is functioning properly? If it takes that long to hear the best possible sound, so be it with pleasure! My Marantz 8300 takes 10-20 seconds or so. I've spent much more than that on t... | |
| which SACD player? If you strech to $1100 you can get a Marantz 8300 new. The list is $1600 but I bought mine new for $1100. Great player, needs a houndred hours or so for break-in. Bonus it plays dvd-a and dvd video all formats,dts DD etc. Give one a listen, it's w... | |
| Is SACD winning over DVD-A? DVD-A has 4 things going for it:1. DVDs have a greater capacity than cds in storing data for future formats as well as current ones.2. They can also include other surround sound formats like DD and dts (including dts 96/24, IMHO the cleanest sound... | |
| Good sources for oddball recordings I've found a few rare gems, including compilations (for single not-so-big hits from 50's, 60s and 70's) on e-bay and half.com.Also try the following:~ Reputable Audiophile Mail-Order Sites ~Griffco RecordsP.O. Box 8893St. Petersburg, FL 33738On-Li... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band Although I didn't read every thread (and a lot of great bands have been mentioned), I noticed that the greatest R & R band--THE ROLLING STONES are absent!!! Also, the KINKS and BOSTON rank right up there!! | |
| Best female vocals on CD IMHO you can't talk of great female vocalists with out mentioning Sandy Denny, Annie Haslam or Lorena McKennett!! | |
| Question for Velvet Underground fans Sean,I agree the VU put out some great stuff. Also you have to consider Lou Reed's solo "New york" awsome! Little advertising here--I have extra sealed copies of VU & Nico and "White Light White Heat" on MFSL cd. Will sell both for $70.PS. My ... |
