Top Ten Interconnects of all time...
LOd015, I looked at the site of Virtual Dynamics. Just looking at the technology, it sounds expensive. Although I don't have the luxury of having both interconnects, Ori assures me that he has thought of at least 10 things that most cable companie... 
APL NWO2.5 ?
Oh my goodness! I understand from my reading that the AKM Dac's were better than my Burr-Brown, but my player sounds fantastic! What I'm wondering is, will the better player(i.e., AKM's) make poorer recordings sound slightly better, or, just in co... 
I want to re-introduce this subject.
I do have a question about volume here. Many high-end companies brag about .5db resolution of volume, yet I think I remember reading about .1 resolution. Since I've found volume so critical, can anyone help me here? I'm thinking that .5db might no... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Cdwallace, I appreciate your response. I need to study all that you've said, and I have read what D_Edwards have said. I still wonder why or what correction Dolby does to make 5.1. It just seems to me, that if Dolby has to correct, that maybe digi... 
The best CD Player for the money
Bartokfan, I've been advised that it depends on which Mundorf caps you use. Also, it has been said that there is no one way to define overall musicality. Look, I'm a pretty simple guy. I've got two volumes-one for analog, and one for digital. Even... 
The best CD Player for the money
I personally would like to hear a comparison between my APL Denon 3910(circa summer 2006-Burr Brown AKC's, mosfet outputs-price was $2,500) and the Rega $1,000 cd player. That would be a most significant comparison. Of course, those without access... 
APL NWO2.5 ?
Tvad, you've got to take it easy, or everyone is going to take all of your suggestions(i.e., Alex's offer of airfare, and my power cord purchase)! 
APL NWO2.5 ?
Ackmann00, I have Alex's 3910 with Burr-Brown DAC's(circa summer 2006), and I know you won't be disappointed. He even said there was an upgrade that made a slight, but better difference. I didn't get that upgrade. If you are getting AKM DAC's, the... 
Home made cable lifters.
We do agree that lifting cables off the floor(especially carpets) make a(good) difference. I can't lift my cables the 8-inch recommendation of Mapleshade(I'de also note that Mapleshade recommends power cable lifting, also.) I also appreciate the t... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
CdWallace, you have excellent points. People should listen to what he has said. Can you give us any more insights? My last investigation of analog versus digital revealed that analog was a little more relaxing(but wasn't as detailed). Now, I don't... 
Has anyone answered the real question?
I have to give kudos to Stevecham, since no one else has. 
I want to re-introduce this subject.
I'm sorry, I don't buy into the idea that there is something wrong with my system, if volume is so critical. I've found volume critical with both analog and digital. The only reason that I've found it so critical with digital has to do with the pu... 
Home made cable lifters.
I use styrofoam cups from Dollar Tree. 3 stacked together almost equal the recommended 8 inches. Total cost=one dollar. 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Cdwallace, great writing! Adhoc and Nilthepill, the latest Absolute Sound agrees with you. I just wonder about the economics of it. My APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910 cost me $2500 and beats my $10,000 analog(circa 1992). Now, my analog is old and not comple... 
Has anyone answered the real question?
Guidocorona, are you saying that you lost vision(eyesight)? Mrtennis, some of us lack imagination. What I mean is that I don't have original music coming from me. I'm sorry, that's just how it is for most people(I believe). If you have that, you a...
