| Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good? If you can find the "Yellow Submarine" CD from a few years back that was re-released along with the movie, that is an equally good and I believe somewhat different remastering of teh songs included there as well. | |
| time for a change....any suggestions? Well, a lot of people who like those also like OHM Walsh speakers OhmAcoustics | |
| ZU OMEN speakers 12ohms?? Although effective power will be lower into a 12 ohm load compared to 8 ohm or lower as is typical with most speakers these days, the Zus are high efficiency speakers, meaning they go louder with fewer watts, and are designed to present an easy lo... | |
| Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good? I still buy used vinyl for cost effectiveness in listening to a lot of new music for not much, but seldom pay more than $1-$5 for used vinyl in good condition.I'll go higher occasionally for old stuff on vinyl I have to have that is not available ... | |
| Why do the new 2009 Beatles CDs sound so good? They are well done and a lot louder overall which creates a totally different presentation that keeps your attention better.I think the Beatles remasters are the prime example of newer recordings that fly in the face of the mantra often heard that... | |
| Need a speaker for the blues lover... How about something from Zu Audio in the "Maserati Blue Nettuno" finish? | |
| Dynaudio 1.4/C1 speakers A lower tweeter position might be beneficial when listening while seated or from a similar lower location in that most tweeters including Dynaudio are inherently directional, some more so than others. | |
| NuForce vs Bel Canto Claud,I would not expect a less than optimal match to sound bad. Some might even prefer the sound. Generally a higher amp input impedance can help assure lower distortion and better dynamics, especially with tube pre-amps which tend towards higher... | |
| NuForce vs Bel Canto Wyred4Sound is another good but less expensive Class D option designed for good results using tube pre-amps. | |
| NuForce vs Bel Canto I see you have a tube pre-amp.Bel Canto mk II or m ref series are the BC products to look at for best results with a tube pre-amp. These have a 100Kohm+ custom input stages designed for best results with a tube pre-amp.The Nuforce site indicates o... | |
| 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... |
