When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Very interesting, Adhoc. I too believed that digital was wrong-and it was backed up by listening. Now, I'm not so sure. I've found digital more than tolerable with the APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910. Maybe it's due to less than optimum setup of my Linn(circ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
Let me just say this. Lp's made from 1981 or earlier are all relaxing(vinyl enthusiasts don't recognize this). I'm trying to codify cd's. What I'm thinking now(and how come a cd neophyte is the one coming up with this?) is that earlier cd's sound ... 
Nuforce
I believe that it was an Italian review of the Nuforce's that said isonodes under the amps sounded better. I'm just offering another view. Something to experiment with(I have isonodes, also.). It seemed like isonodes provided more detail, but when... 
Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker
I contacted DCM, asking them about tightening the drivers. I believe that MTX(or that car-stereo company with similar initials) owns DCM now. Anyhow, they said tighten away. I wasn't sure about the tweeters, as they have two tightening areas plus ... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I think that there is much more going on than we think(with apologies to those that have pointed this out in this thread). I just bought 38 cd's for $38. I played a few cuts from each(almost), then I got to Earl Klugh's, "Life Stories". At the bac... 
Nuforce
I want to mention that I put the Nuforce 8.5's directly onto 4-inch teak(defeating the footers of the Nuforce). The teak sits on Bright Star Audio isonodes. Before, the amp sat with their footers on the teak, and there were no isonodes between my ... 
Top Ten Interconnects of all time...
I own both the Fulton Brown's and Fulton Gold speaker cable. I mention this next part for perspective to possible cable purchasers. The Signal Cable Silver Resolutions beat the Fulton's. I'm not necessarily advocating the Silver Resolutions(althou... 
When is digital going to get the soul of music?
I'm not completely sure that the APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910 still costs $2,500. I read on Alex's site that the base Denon 3910(from Denon) has gone up in price. I now listen to cd instead of lp. I've started another thread on Audiogon, "I've found the c... 
Review: DCM TimeWindow 1 Speaker
Hsitz, I has the original 3200 driving the original DCM Time Windows, with an analog set-up. Let me tell you, that the Classe DR 70(which came from the original poster of this thread) was far superior. I also want to say that the Nuforce amps kill... 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
I've been drinking again guys, but I really appreciate all your responses. I've not seen a response that is not worth reading! I appreciate all the responses in defense of me. I have to address what Rauliruegas has said, though. My main objection ... 
Has anyone answered the real question?
Guidocorona, are you saying that music that you've not heard is playing through your head? So, far that hasn't happenned to me. Very interesting, if that is what you are saying. I'm having a little trouble with what will play through my head-in th... 
Has anyone answered the real question?
Many of you guys are so far advanced than I am. I appreciate your responses, though. I think that people will respond to what has been said here. I want to digress, though. Is there a strategy to deal with what will play through your head? What I'... 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
I can't help it. I am interested in music. I don't care about me. I'm too old for that! I don't know how Alex did it, but he did. What I'm trying for here is to get my analog(circa 1992) to equal Alex's 3910. Don't worry, I've not given up! In the... 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
You guys must think that I'm kidding. Let me tell you, I have 2,000 lp's and maybe 5 cd's(although I've accessed many more). Do you think I want cd to beat lp? Ask Alex for the Mmakshak version of the 3910. I want lp to beat cd. In fact, Alex said... 
I've found the cd player for analog lovers
I am sitting back trying to learn from what I read here. I believe TVAD described my APL 3910 correctly, though. I don't think that I was brainwashed by Alex on this player, because before this latest version, I preferred my vinyl(which I think Al...
