| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Listen to Chazzbo. He has a lot to say, especially when it comes to jazz. I just want to mention something, but first, I want to appreciate what Tvad said about DVD-A releases from Classic records. Personally, I would stick to actual recordings re... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? That guy who recommended Mapleshade's cd's might be on to something(They record everything in analog first, before putting it on cd.). First, I 'de like to thank Alex of APL Hi-Fi for proving to me that it isn't the digital playback mechanism that... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I just setup my Linn, nude Archiv, Ekos, Lingo, on the Mana table. There is no doubt in my mind that the most cost-effective approach to having music in the home is analog. That being said, it limits you to 1981 or earlier albums(some 1982's). | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I have had access to a current spec APL Denon-3910 cd player for about a week, and it's not broken in yet. First, get the cd, "Jerry Garcia Band's" "After Midnight" at Kean College(in Texas), 2/28/1980. You will not regret it. I would think the Gr... | |
| Nuforce Ggil, I have heard an even later version of the APL Hi-Fi Denon 3910 with Nuforce 8.02b's(with Cardas adaptors for my single-ended preamp), and I have to say that even though the APL had less than 50 hours of the 200-300 minimum burn-in, that unle... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I know this off subject, but I have to mention it. Don't try to do something with any cartridge parameter that it wasn't meant to do. In other words, find out what it the best for each parameter and stick with that. If it doesn't provide the bass ... | |
| The West Coast is currently blowing out other area It doesn't relate to music, but I'm thinking that it sparks interest. Also, the 3 companies I mentioned started, I believe, after the turndown in the computer industry, at least in the Bay Area. Price is the main reason I keep mentioning these. Yo... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? This is for the financially challenged. Assuming you have a suspended-subchasis turntable, the spring on the right usually corresponds to what you hear on the right speaker(as you face it). The left spring to the left speaker. The spring towards t... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... I'de call the Oritek X-2's as the Koetsu(yes, I own the original Rosewood) of interconnects, in that they convey something about music that escapes most audio components. Yes, I pay what anyone else pays for these. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Those that use a good cartridge alignment gauge like the Dennison and tighten up their cartridge bolts are kidding themselves. I believe generally that the cartridge bolt that is closest to the outside of the record corresponds to the right speake... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... Maybe a little controversy will help. I propose the Oritek X-2's as number one, based on price/performance ratio. As a X-1 owner, I paid $390 for .6 meters(about 25 inches, tip to tip). You get to keep the X-1's. Ori has since informed me that .4 ... | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... The posting may have stopped. Maybe this will get a discussion going. I think my mention of the Oritek X-2's was actually on point, maybe not historically, though. Anyone have any impressions of the X-2's? The discussions of older interconnects ar... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Tgun5, you have a very good post. I am buying a cd player from Aplhifi. I hope to enjoy music from it. I just wonder about the kids. They have no money. Should they be denied music because of that? I understand that the finances are further compli... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? My last two comments were a prelude to my next statement, mostly directed to the ecomically challenged out there. You can get music from something like a Rega-Planar 3(straight arm, preferable), or as Alex suggests, a Music Hall turntable. The sof... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? I want to address something else about history here. I am 54 years old and I count on something I did over 25 years ago as important, or more so, than anything I have done since. I tried to set up an Ariston RD11E with a Grace arm, and Osawa-22 ma... |
