| Stereophile review of Escalante Fremont Shadorne- same here. Last night I also ordered them. Thanks! | |
| Silliest audiophile equipment of all time? "$25K CD transports."No one seems to agree with this statement. I sure don't, cause I have two ;-)Even I won't buy in to Machina Dynamica stuff.I did fall for $1.25 tweak though and to this day I have $.75 on each speaker.Fun thread. | |
| Shelby Lynne Agree. I tried this morning for the first time since I bought it at Amoeba Music. Hollywood right around when it was released. Absolutely great record and sound. I sat thru the whole record awestruck! | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Detlof! Absolutely Poetic!!Are you sure English is your second language? Are you a poet? I KNOW it sure is not German to English Translation software. How I know? Just read Porsche's user's manuals ;-). | |
| Clement Perry's new reference speaker Good comments TVAD, Gawdbless, Johnnyturbo. And Ronc.I think Speaker themselves alone cannot produce life like sound. You will have to have everything else 'work' with speakers. Sure, you know certain speakers caliber, even with less than stellar ... | |

A l... | |
| Radiohead: In Rainbows -- Vinyl or CD? Slight correction. The CD version is not all that bad. Only track 2 comes across as loud and compressed.I did not realize that I had hooked up my whole system again after more than month disconnected and stored in Garage while remodeling my house.... | |
| Stand out phono stages Detlof, Let us know how Wavac works out with the 9600. I am eager to lay my hands on the 9600 before my 'fortune' changes;-) | |
| Stand out phono stages Exlibris, That is what I did. I had opportunity audition Zanden products at home. It started with the DAC signature, then the Transport w/ I2S i/f. The Combo was and is so good that I got the phonostage. It immediately surpassed the Vendetta (harm... |
