| LINN AKURATE CD vs ESOTERIC X-05 I like the Esoteric. It is amazing in it's detail. Plays SACD's and redbook as good as, or better, then anything I've heard in it's price range.The warmth you may be looking for will have to come from the rest of your rig but everything you say yo... | |
| Anyone tried the K2HD mastering CDs? I really enjoy the sampler and I have a couple of the classical releases. I think they are worth it (premium lables such as MFSL or SHM-CD or priced in the same league)Try the sampler to get a good feel for it.Unlike SACD's the can be burned. | |

| How can you tell if a recording is in mono? Hi Dkidknow,As much as it takes some getting used to,this is the way alot of recordings where made in the early to mid sixties when engineers where fooling around with their relatively new 'stereo' process.Listen to the Look of Love on the famous ... | |
| In Europe, owning Coincident Super Victory/ TV IV? Hi Azh,The combination would sound awesome I'm using the Frankensteins and they have more than enough to power my modded Coincident Triumphs that use the exact same mid driver from both the Super Victory and TV IIII. These amazing amps are also dr... |
