| Cheap tweaks...What would YOU reccomend? Jes45,I would caution any over-reliance on one parameter to evaluate CD quality - in your case, Block Error Rate. This counts error frames, so it counts 1 if an error frame contains only one bad bit; and similarly it counts 1 if the entire content... | |
| Home Spindle Lube Test Sean,Surely in saying:You don't know the exact formula for that lubricant but I do!Bob P is demonstrating his qualifications. Knowing the "exact formula" would include knowing the percentages of each of the constituents. You mentioned that you did... | |
| best recording of Diana Krall ? I guess I have all her digital releases. I think the best sound is on the SACD of "Love Scenes".My favourite for the songs and the music is on "Steppin' Out" - I don't quite know why I like that one the most. Her new one is quite a departure but v... | |
| DV-50s vs Krell SACD Standard vs Denon 3910 mod I might as well ask Kana813 where in the US he had the fortunate opportunity to listen to a Teac P0 player, augmented by a G0 external clock. The Teac Esoteric USA site does not list P0, D01, G0, G0S in the US catalogue because Teac America has sa... | |
| "High Current" Sean,I'm surprised by your comment:Unfortunately, very few reviews actually perform or publish this type of testingfor this is certainly something that Atkinson at Stereophile does regularly test and publish. Regards, | |
| Garrott P77 with Decca international arm? Are you talking about one of the original Garrott P77s built when the brothers were alive? I ran one of these in a lightweight unipivot arm (an Excel 1000 from Japan) on a Thorens TD160 for a number of years. What a great cartridge.Regards, | |
| Best sacd player Nreddy, I believe you mean Allen Wright.Regards, | |
| RIAA equalization The bass is also reduced for cutting, and boosted on replay, to allow grooves to be closer together than would otherwise be possible. Regards, | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-Jr: Urgent Opinions Needed Terrific post Bill. Really good writing. You certainly gave the Vandys every chance to appeal to you, and at the end of the day, they didn't quite make it. No speaker designer could ask for a fairer shake. Regards, | |
| Elton John SACD releases I'm on the second run through his debut album "Elton John". There is a stunning richness in songs like "Your Song" and "First Episode at Hienton"; Buckmaster's strings are very nice on "Sixty Years On", as is the acoustic guitar. Elton's voice has... | |
| Elton John SACD releases Many listeners have criticized these as being too bright. I have all but "Peachtree Road", but haven't played them as yet. I also received the Clapton SACDs (all from CD Universe) at the same time, and I've listened to "461" and that impressed me.... | |
| Component Pecking Order Your 300Bs perhaps would not have worked very well with the 4JRs; so maybe the point is moot. I'd love to hear the Lector CDP-7T.My system is very nicely balanced at the moment and I find it hard to answer this question. Possibly I'd consider repl... | |
| Good Low Level Resolution Speakers under $2K used. I listen to my Coincident Super Eclipse speakers driven by 300B SETs in an apartment. It sounds luscious, full and positively entrancing at the lowish levels I play it at. $2k won't get a pair of SEs used, but Partial Eclipse are a possibility.Reg... | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Here is our Grammy award winning member.Very cool. I love his Mahler: Symphony No. 2 "Resurrection" on Delos SACD.I'm keeping my physics/applied maths honours degree under my hat, and my Bob Crump (TG Audio) power cords in my system.Regards, | |
| hospital grade or commercial grade receptacles ? Ivr writes:Now look, frankly I wouldn't have wasted my time with this discussion, but telling someone that electrical outlets affect the "sonic signature" of a stereo system is just so much nonsense I couldn't stand it. There is no need to measure... |
