| What Irish music will you be playing on St Pat's? and I'm a sucker for a good version of "Danny Boy."As am I, and we all have our favourites ... and for me, the one that gives me a huge rush of emotion is on the Telarc SACD-60571 Erich Kunzel - Cincinnati Pops Orchestra called "A Celtic Spectacul... | |
| Itching for an SACD player David12 writes:VSE may be excellent, but the upgrade is mainly to SACD, I believeI don't think that's true. If you have a SCD-C333ES, the latest mods (level 5) to the takeoff point on the VC24 work for both. For the SCD-1 and SCD-777ES you need le... | |
| Out of curiosity, where does everyone live? Yohjo and Rmrobinson1957, I'm right next door to both of you in Cupertino. Is it still raining there? Currently I'm on a long-term consulting gig in Memphis - fly out on Sunday, fly back on Friday night. My stereo misses me.Regards, | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Good for you Mike. I'm looking forward to your report.Ditto on the "Bobs" - great work from both of them.Regards, | |
| WILL THE NEW 60,000 AVALON ISIS BE THE BEST YET? jtdesigns@westnet.com.au - not a good deal for you in Australia. The locally-made Whatmough's are pretty damn fine.Regards, | |
| Yamaha NS-1000M I owned a pair for 5 years back in 1979 - bought new. Sold them for what I paid for them, but I still miss them.In fact, the Coincident Super Eclipse IIs I bought 4+ years ago were obtained in the somewhat rare black finish to remind me of the old... | |
| Tenor 75WP or Lamm 1.1 for Kharma Midi Grand? Off topic, but why does everyone say "pulling the trigger"? So macho. ;-)I guess I'd be concerned with Tenor and go for the Lamm.You've seen this of course.http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue15/lamm1.1.htmRegards, | |
| New David Gilmour record:any feedback? At Best Buy for this week - $9.99 with bonus single-track CD "Island Jam". I listened to a couple of tracks in the car on the way back to my hotel last night. Sure sounds like some of Pink Floyd's post Roger Waters stuff. I'll give it a whirl on t... | |
| SACD Software Question Lokie, that's a misconception that I've heard posted before - Kr4 is correct. Note that there have also been dual layer non-hybrid SACDs produced, to make things even more complex, but we don't see these any more.There used to be some great pictur... | |
| Sand and shot? Of course, that's not your genuine Aussie BluTack as invented by Bostik and protected by international trademarks. You probably have FunTack. It will ooze over time and make a nice yellow mess.Regards, | |
| EMM Labs vs. Esoteric X-01 So what do you think, Fred? Can you live without the G(0)?Regards, | |
| SACD Player Shootout Few readers of these threads bother to read all the postsThat's their problem. ;-) Those readers skip to the end of the magazine review to see if the writer recommended it.No, I actually agree with you. Best for both APL and Underwood to get this ... | |
| SACD Player Shootout Good write-up though. You covered a lot of the contenders and it seems churlish to complain that you did not have X - so I won't. (X for me would be one of Allen Wright's Sonys). The EMM Labs and the Ayre are the two I am considering, so your shoo... | |
| DK Design Group vs. Boulder Onhwy61, that's a good one.Regards, | |
| Best monitor under $1000 I have the JM Reynaud Twin IIIs in my bedroom. Circa $800They have a lovely relaxed sound, while at the same time providing all the usual audiophile suspects of imaging, frequency response, dynamics. They are connected to an Arcam Alpha 10 integra... |
