| Great lost lps...the 80s....synth pop and others.. Any of the four Moody Blues albums from the 80's featuring Patrick Moraz on keys (Long Distance Voyager, The Present, The Other Side of Life, Sur La Mer). Go for the more recent remasters if possible.Love the Church.Seen them live front and center... | |
| Amps in sequence.... That was the Musical Fidelity Supercharger, advertised to boost the power of your amp to the speakers while preserving the original amps sound. Similar car stereo power boosters used to be popular years ago.Newer Class D amps can achieve similar p... | |
| Tannoy VS Dynaudio Iman,From your pics, that does not surprise me. I would seek speakers with more of a point or small line source type configuration as well with your listening room configuration. | |
| Linn LP-12 still competitive with the very best? Syntax,With your gear, the Linn being its equal is like saying Johnny Unitas is Peyton Manning's equal.Unitas was pretty good in his day and few would find fault with him nonetheless despite it being difficult to argue that he was the equal of tod... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... Well, digital amps are fairly new and relatively unknown waters for many. It is a much different way of doing things (a mostly digital signal path throughout) than traditional systems where most of the signal path is analogue.I think it is definit... | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... Esmith,I think it is a true digital amp meaning that a digital rather than analog signal is processed internally by the amp section to then drive the speakers. For that to happen, any analog signals input must first be converted to digital interna... | |
| Ohm Walsh 3/3000 upgrade comments....... Bondman,Thanks for that.Those are areas where it seems possible to me that some noticeable improvement over what I hear currently is still possibleIts often hard to know what isn't there when things are sounding really good until you actually hear... | |
| The Hub: AudiogoN's RMAF coverage is Online Did the German Physiks loudspeakers there catch anyone's interest? | |
| Class D amps w/ digital inputs? The Diavlet D-Premier amplifer appears to be another true digital amp. It is unique in that it appears to use a hybrid Class A and D amp design with the Class A targeting the high frequencies. | |
| Class D amps w/ digital inputs? The NAD M2 and the Tact amps are the ones I see that are truly "digital amplifiers", meaning that a digital signal is used directly by the amplifier section to send power to the speakers, as opposed to traditional analog amplifiers (pretty much ev... | |
| Tannoy VS Dynaudio NikT,Which Tannoys can you recommend for nearfield listening in smaller rooms and why?Thanks. | |
| New amp being touted as among the best ever...... It has a forward looking, unique design and is expensive.It probably sounds very good also but I have not read anything yet that makes me believe it outperforms the competition on sound quality alone.Also not sure about the value proposition. It s... | |
| im searching for a budget 2 channel setup Good approach from Marty.Ipod is OK as a source but limited to lossy compressed file formats usually in that higher res files require more digital storage/disk space. If you have a suitable computer already, going the music server route with a Log... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BTW, after bringing in the 100S3s and later the 5S3s, the only part of my system at the time that did not change as well towards the goal of optimizing performance was my Linn Axis turntable, speaker wires and Denon103R cart. Everything else chang... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? YEs, I find with the OHMs, it is much like making really good soup. All the ingredients matter and attention to detail 9and some patience) is the key to getting really good results.Foster, I know all teh gyrations you have gone through so I am ver... |
