| John Dunlavy On "Cable Nonsense" John Dunlavy's reputation notwithstanding, the proof is in what I hear, and I hear a difference. I would not consider myself a "Golden Ear", nor are all others that have experienced the same noticeable differences between various manufacturers' in... | |
| Best Sax Jazz I'd like to add another Sonny Rollins, "The Blue Note Years". This is a '89 compilation of some his best work from '57 and '58. One of my favorites. | |
| Various CD Formats The short answer to your questions concerning SACD and HDCD vs. (Red Book) CD is : 1) NO, and 2) YES. The decoding of an HDCD player requires hardware and software designed by Pacific Micronics incorporated into the CD player. The SACD format requ... | |
| question about BOSE reputation Wholeheartly agree with Khomas' above post. I think for $3700.00, you can purchase a FAR better system, especially if you are willing to purchase used equipment. Just by your questions and comments, I would like to offer the following advice and c... | |
| if i could trade places...... My choice. I would say Robert Johnson, still alive of course, c. '67 (68?), in attendance at the Fillmore when Cream performed Crossroads. I wonder what he would have thought? | |
| DVD s reading CD-R s and CD-RW s Kthomas, what media are you using? My Sony 7700 reads some media, but not others. On some media, it won't manually advance directly to a middle index point without going into some sort of grand mal seizure. | |
| Check this out...you might implode. I'd be very a'scared of launching that 1500 lb subwoofer compression chamber cover like the Hubble Telescope on a good Timpani roll. Yikes. | |

| Best single-malt Scotch... I don't drink Scotch so I wouldn't even dream of venturing a guess as to the Best. I just wanted to point out that it is soooo refreshing to see a thread where differences in brand names, product age and manufacturing techniques yield varying resp... | |
| cd players with volume control Wow ... youse guys type fast! | |
| cd players with volume control Not knobs, but analog volume control ... Resolution Audio CD-50 and 55, Theta Miles, Proceed CDP and Levinson 39 (sort of analog) to name a few more. | |
| Sony SACD Monsters: Already Obsolete? Adhesiv, if you're still sticking around, I have a question for you. You seem to have some knowledge on the current info. Concerning the Pioneer SACD/DVD-A, why even bother having an SACD player at all? Is the PCM just for digital out? It doesn't ... | |
| Sony SACD Monsters: Already Obsolete? Gmorris, and others, I stand corrected. Thought I read that, apparently not. Senility is a tragic thing ... especially at the age of 22. No wait ... that was 1980. | |
| Amp Hum Sailor, given that your amp is older, I would guess that the transformer is the culprit, either de-lamination of the plates, or mounting ... but given what I have read here, I would bet the transformer is the problem. And not a problem that should... | |
| Sony SACD Monsters: Already Obsolete? CW, I believe you will find that the SCD-1, as well as the 777, are already discontinued. There is a thread at the Audio Asylum that highlighted current and future plans based on some press releases. http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/hirez/bbs.ht... |
