| Disappointing Elton John CDs? the original masters are pretty good. surprising the remasters aren't also, but a lot of newer remasters are remastered to be louder than original. some underpowered systems may have trouble getting the most out of them. also many just flat out do... | |

| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? "I don't know why ohm did not stick to the old pyramid designs,"Cost control pretty much I think.The good news is there are lots of these cabinets around that can be fitted with the latest and greatest drivers.I really like having the casters on t... | |
| What makes a Cd player a Great cd player Yes, the ring dac architecture for applying dither from what I have read strikes me as a very practical way to achieve higher resolution yet retain a smooth response and full dynamic range. When I've heard the DCS gear, what my ears heard was cons... |
