Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
I haven't tried that yet....I'll let you know. J 
Great Sounding New Releases
gosh...if you like those dead discs...you MUST go purchase the sets from David Grissman. He has a company called "Dawg Productions" and the label is "Acoustic Productions". There are several Garcia/Grissman discs and one with Tony Rice. All acoust... 
Audio refinement vs AA Puccini vs Linn M
I too liked the Puccini...very good value and sweet sounding. I did find that it lacked the "kahoonas" that I desired and went with a more powerful unit. (I am referring to the Puccini SE) 
CJ Premier 11A w/ CJ17LS or Premier 14?
have you tried the old Premier 10 preamp? It is supposed to be similar to the P14 for MUCH less $$$. Very rich and (from what I understand) similar to the 14. They can be found (scarcely) used. 
AC Conditioners?
I think it depends on how you define "functionality". It is my understanding that the filtering qualities of a "line conditioner" will remain indefinitely. I have been told, however, that the ability of the conditioiner to protect from power surge... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Kthomas...I hear ya. I understand that when you "look" at the data bits they appear identical. I cannot tell you why, however, these same bits on CDR do not "sound" the same as the originals. There could not be any question of that when heard over... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Thanks...great response. Well....my brother (in LA..studio guy..and a reviewer for a high end mag) purchased the Phillips dual tray audio cd burner yesterday. He called me this am from cell phone and sounded like he just had an epiphany! Although ... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Yes...now everyone...are you recording onto CDR's???...or onto the audio format CD's which are made for the audio components (as opposed to computer burners) ???????????? 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Kthomas...I think I follow you. BUT....in the realm of cd's...we have only had the pleasure of READING them. Now we are introducing the ability to write on them. Alongside our new found freedom to write on this digital medium we may introduce all ... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
I gotcha KThomas....I understand. But...to be clear...I could not care less if the charted copies "look" identical. I only care how it sounds. If CDR's introduce jitter...or if the laser has a difficult time reading the colored surface I do not kn... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
Carl and Joe!!!....man am I laughing!!!!....I posted my last post prior to reading about your streetfight!!! lolololol Anyway...Joe...I gotta tell you...Carl is playing this straight (and I'm not just saying that because I agree with him) C'mon Jo... 
Do CD-R's sound the same as originals
I am going to buy a burner this week to compare for myself. All copies on CDR's (which my new Levinson will play, however, my old Muse separates would not) do NOT sound the same as original. I did not say that they sound bad, however, they are not... 
Sonus Faber Extremas with Krell FPB 600?
Why do you all not want tubes with the Fabers. I run the new Grand Piano Home series with my Conrad Johnson Premier 11A with stunning results. An acquaintance of mine runs Extremas with the CJ Premier 12 monoblocks (and previously with Sonic Front... 
C-J Combo: PV-5 and MF-2100; Si or No?
Don't discount the CAV-50...I owned it...and loved it! (upgraded to 11A) Remember that you won't need to spend $$ or time with interconnects with the integrated. 
rca to xlr - best way?
Or....any manufacturer will make whichever model cable you prefer with the ends that you like! Also...there are "adapters" that you can purchase that convert RCA to XLR. I believe that Cardas makes one. I just bought an XLR (source) to RCA (amp) f...
