What a very nice post. Thank you.Regards, 
Cd's released up to 95' not remastered - DAC?
"Questioning my musical taste" - not me mate. As far as Ratt go, I have a great copy of "Out of the Cellar" - it's the original Atlantic "target" made in West Germany. Sounds good here.Can you describe what you mean by:Can old annoying CD's be "fi... 
Cd's released up to 95' not remastered - DAC?
OK, I'll have another crack at this.Jprinz writes:While my Onix has digital outs I would not be adverse to using a PC to send to a DAC if that is an option.. but I dont want to waste my time and money.I don't quite understand. How would you use a ... 
Cd's released up to 95' not remastered - DAC?
You must listen to different bands to me. I'm looking for non-remastered CDs. Those originally made in Japan and Germany before the US plant came on line (1982-1983) were pretty good (although levels are low, which is easy to remedy). I also like ... 
Brothers in Arms 1/2 Speed Mastered
What is the label? The Stan Ricker mastered jobby, pressed at RTI (WEALP49377). Good names there. I'd like to hear it.As you probably know, this was originally recorded digitally, probably among the first rock albums cut entirely on a 24-track Son... 
my rant on new single disc players under $500
You have a remote volume control on your amp, correct? It sounds like you just need some attenuation. Many players these days do have a little more than 2.0 volts output, particularly the cheap ones. You might do some research on older machines to... 
New David Bowie Japanese import CDs - thoughts?
The original RCAs, made in Japan or West Germany, are my favourite-sounding Bowies. Hunt around the used CD stores. Mastered without dramatic equalization or compression, better than the remastered CDs or the EMIs. But I have not heard the Japanes... 
Which Power Conditioner is best at eliminating Hum
You should be able to eliminate that "ground loop" without requiring a power conditioner. Regards, 
Coincident Total Reference vs Zu Definition
Sorry about the delay Ben. I did not see your response.I use Welborne Labs Laurel IIx with my Super Eclipse. These are SETs based around the 300B valve. Mine have the Ultimate Upgrade kit fitted, and Full Music mesh triodes. I use Sylvania 6SL7GT ... 
CES 07 Show Report
Very enjoyable reading - thanks a lot. Due to business commitments I could not make it this year - after 4 years in a row, so I was very disappointed. Thank you for helping me imagine what it was like.Regards, 
Where do I go from here?
Ah, the new Yes by Mofi - that could be good, but I have not heard it. The Montrose is done right - that's Steve Hoffman's work (remember that link I posted above - that's where all the classic rock junkies who know their stuff hang out. Go over a... 
Where do I go from here?
The MoFi Pink Floyd is excellent, though not the finest of them all. The best CD of "Dark Side of the Moon" is the Japanese black triangle or black-face Harvest (CDP 7 46001 2 - CP35-3017 xxx). All Dark Sides are pretty good, and I bet you like th... 
Cardas or Virtual Dynamics power cords? Opinions?
I found a Cardas Golden (not the Reference) very good on my Arcam CD player, but not a great improvement on my integrated amp. In contrast, a TG Audio HSR power cord (made by the late Bob Crump) added tremendous dynamics to the same integrated amp... 
Where do I go from here?
Some MoFi CDs have added bass lift and treble lift when compared to the originals. Commonly known as the "smiley face" equalization. MFSL is the example I was thinking of when you said you bought gold discs. The early ones are good, but some liste...
