| How Good are the Analysis Plus speaker c Sean, as you said so well in your original post, it all depends on your system and your taste in sound, that is why home trail of cables is recommended. If you want dynamic, exciting sound Oval 9 is not the best choice. If you want smooth, natural... | |
| Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge Anyone interested read latest Hi-Fi News & Record Review (August) they have good article on this subject. Wadia apparantly is saying upsampling is no better than their oversampling techniques. Magazine compares latest Wadia 860 against DCS Del... | |

| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc Craig, the whole process is automatic and takes less than 30 seconds, Bedinni II has auto timer, insert CD & push button. I use for every play. Unit is somewhat noisy during spin, I set on folded hand towel to muffle. I have small ornate table... | |
| Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc I have used my new Bedini II now on many CDs and it is a winner, for whatever reason it reduces HF grain/glare and slightly enhances overall detail resolution. The combination of Auric Illuminator/Bedini II will work wonders on average/below avera... | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio I can almost rationalize breaking my budget for $3000 by telling myself if I get CD55, I can eliminate pre-amp and go CD only......then it just as if I spent $1500 on each component, but end up with better sound. Really $3000 is a bargain for SOTA... | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio Soup, just curious why no SACD capability, don't get me wrong I would love to have CD55, a little out of my budget currently, the up sample rate is staggering 24bit/706khz, Elgars are 24/192 and are considered SOTA. Analog volume control is very u... | |
| How Good are the Analysis Plus speaker c I have Oval 9 double runs from a pair of Musical Fidelity X-AS100 monoblocks, replaced AQ Argents for me at 66% lower price! At first I thought they were too smooth and relaxed, but after extended listening they make other cables sound strained an... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music TubeGroover, may I also suggest Mahler 2 final movement, the resurrection final scence, when the organ bass kicks in, you can see the skies open before you, and you transcend mortality..........Tchaikovsky Sym 6 Pathetique, is a malestorm of elati... | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio CD55 owners, although only breif description of unit is posted on web site, why does new unit have no SACD capability, and what does this say about the future of this format? Many new high end CD units coming out feature SACD playback, sounds like... | |
| Why is everyone selling thier Powersnake Bryce, just the regular number of adds listed for PowerSnakes, the majority of adds (unless its King Cobra) are people upgrading to better Powersnakes, or trading discontinued models for newer versions......an expensive game as Kings run $2000+...... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND Grumpy, tool gets my vote for best MTV videos with the dolls in the dark prison cell, the meat in the pipes, and the sinister lanky black leatherette jailkeeper.....totally cool. My sympathies to anyone who thinks the crap Metallica makes now is m... | |

| Best British Invasion Record British Invasion covers many "styles" of british rock in the 60s including mainstream/rock-Beatles, R&B/rock-Rolling Stones, merseybeat-Hollies, mods-Who etc........but if you want to talk about smaller groups I like Yardbirds with their psych... | |
| Power cords at ridiculous prices? Onhwy,let me reword my previous post, the reason good AC cords improve the sound is by various means they "enhance" the performance of a components power supply over using stock cord. Let me be more specific, they improve the "dynamic" delivery of... |
