| Pioneer PD-65 & Parasound z-dac I loaned my PDR-65, purchased in 1991 or '92, to a friend a few years ago and it is still spinning and playing beautifully. A work of industrial art!Neal | |
| Krell 700cx, and Tara cobalt A/C power cord. I have had an FPB 300cx for 10 happy years, with the captive PC, and never felt the need for an aftermarket PC. I do, however, run it through my Audience AR6 power conditioner, and this makes for a great improvement. Just one man's experience. | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Another vote for Von Schweikert VR5 HSE's (see 12/30/12 Lneilb). After almost a decade with these beauties, they have stood the test of time. Always supremely gratifying -- never annoying. Sometimes I look up and imply say: Wow! Thiose speakers ar... | |
| Is the Bryston BDP-1 worth $$$ over Apple TV More of my music played on BDP-1 is downloaded than ripped from CD, so not worth the cost to me. Maybe one day they will make an all-in-one unit!Neal | |
| Voodoo Cable IEC Adapter If the silver works better than the standard, which I use, it would be quite an accomplishment. Inasmuch as my PC from the wall goes into the IEC adaptor and then into an Audience AR6 power conditioner, the Voodoo is in a critical spot so I may gi... | |
| Name 3 under appreciated pop/rock drummers The drummer for Phoenix is incredible. And the one for Local Natives is very talented.neal | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 Loomisjohnson,Pssst! (It's Latin.) I know you knew that. It means there is no arguing with taste.Neal | |
| Breakout DAC for 2013? Second that. I have been listening to digital since the first 16 bit CDP - Magnavox CDB 650 and have had many DAC"s along the way. PWD DAC II is superb. Flavor of the month not necessarily any better.Neal | |
| 3.5mm to RCA cable Second the Zu, 3.5mm to RCA IC's. Excellent cable by any measure, and certainly for the $$.Neal | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 Loomisjohnson,As they say: De gustibus non est disputandum.You either like Phosphorescent or you don't. Personally, I think it is the best album of the year, and the prior album also is outstanding. It sometimes takes a few listens because it is a... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2013 Yes, Shakey. Thankfully, this is what we have come to. Try listening all the way through a few times. And if you don't like it, it does not mean civiliztion had ground to a halt.Neal | |
| Stealth Dream V10 Power Cords Not only is the Stealth Sextet digicable exceptional, but the Stealth Indra IC's are among the best on the market. Very expensuive, even used, but worth every penny. Plus, among the most beautiful cables you will ever set eyes on.Neal | |
| CD transport recommendations Ditto CEC TL-1X. Mine is modded by RAM and refreshed by True Sound, and it makes magnificient, stately sound. No "digititis" here.neal | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Pavpet,Can you give me your impressions of new Wyetech Ruby pre, off-line? If this replaced Opal (which I own) please compare & contrast. Goodlawman2@gmail.com. Thx.Neal | |
| Etymotic ER4P Reliability I have had problems with the Ef5, a lower priced model. The wire would unravel where it meets phone, or plastic stalk would break off. But on ER4's have had for 2 years+ and use them every day with no problems. Etymotic have always been responsive... |
