| Tift Merrit on tour Another Country is one of the great albums of the decade, lyrically, musically and vocally. The latest, See You on the Moon, is not quite its predecessor's equal, but outstanding in its own right. Tift Merrit has a unique, crystalline voice with e... | |
| Wyred DACS I am supposed to receive delivery of my DAC2 today and will audition it over the next few days and report on my findings. I have had a number of CDP's and DAC's over the years and so feel that I will be able to tell if this is a quantum leap, an i... | |
| Krell primer? I have been using a Krell FPB 300cx in my Main System since early 2003 and have never found a reason to "upgrade," if that is even the proper word. The amp has never even had a hiccup, much less given me a problem; sounds excellent on all types of... | |
| Television through tube preamp? I have been doing it forever. Verizon FIOS (and Direct TV when I had it) also have music channels like Sirius XM which don't sound great but certainly are tolerable, lots better than Internet radio(ugh!).Neal | |
| Top ten tube preamps Wyetech Opal. Timeless and legendary, with good reason. It's alive!Neal | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Krell 300cx. Have owned it for almost 8 years, sounds fab, never even a burp.Neal | |
| Nordost Tyr vs Valhalla I use Valhalla IC's, PC's and spkr cables throughout my system, but not exclusively because they can get to be too much of a god thing. But if you find the cost of Valhallas too dear, try looking for used Valkyrje's. For some reason, Nordost disco... | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e No, no digital input. What do you expect for $1500?Neal | |
| Wadia ITransport Now there is an honest company! Rather than trying to BS the customer or blaming the customer, they were straightforward. Very refreshing!Neal | |
| Has anyone had eperience with the new sony xa5400e I had it, liked it very much, thought it was an absolute steal for the $$. Sold it because it did not surpass my CEC TL1X/Dodson 218 combo, which costs considerably more. But if I were looking for a one-box for less than $5K, I certainly would ser... | |
| Oppo 83 SE wich would be best for my system vs 83 Is there any difference in DAC's used for SACD in 83 vs 83SE? If so, is there an audible difference in performance to justify the price differential? Will be using coax out for DVD's.Neal | |
| Blue ray player with good audio My DAC does not, of course, play SACD, so if I chose to buy a few SACD's that is what I would use the Oppo for with analog out. Now I am a bit confused. Tbg says the power supply on the SE is superior to standard BDP, but the standard is better on... | |
| Blue ray player with good audio If you are using an external DAC, and do not listen to much SACD, is there any reason to get an Oppo bdp-83se as opposed to plain bdp-83? I was under the impression the Sabre DAC's in the SE would be of importance only if using the analog outs. Am... | |
| Audioquest Sky VS Kimber 1030 SE Can't go wrong with the Sky in its price range. Smooth, neutral and musical, will never bother you. Just disappears in your system and the only time you know it was there is when it is not. Ponder that!Neal | |
| All time favorite speaker cables Valhalla, with the right system.Also like Jena Labs Symphony for a less expensive alternative. They are very natural and don't do anything wrong, which is what I always listen for first.Neal |
