| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden To have no stand on politics is political by its very nature. No one sits idly by and observes. We all participate in one way or another. There is no neutral party or affiliation.There's an old adage that goes something like: The greatest trick th... | |
| Oppo 103 HDMI Cable I wish I could find an older article on the quality differences in HDMI cables. It didn't have much to do with costs so much as to construction. Examining the exposed ends showed some pretty miserable soldering and some really good soldering. It d... | |
| Best System displayed on Audiogon It's hard to decide between the two. | |
| The title is:"There's No Such Thing As Digital..." Kiwi,Those units you cite are very favorably reviewed and considered to be up there with the best around. That Esoteric must be one nice unit.Steve,Thanks for the cost breakdown: I"m sure it took a while to compose.I'm going to bookmark this threa... | |
| The title is:"There's No Such Thing As Digital..." Nice relevant posts, one and all. As Steve has pointed out, $5K will buy one a killer PC set up and that's just for the PC part. That was close to the total cost of my previous system. All I had to spend was $1600 on a source unit so a SACD demo u... | |
| Today's New York Times What goes around, comes around. I think most kids see iTunes and other sites as nothing more than a way to store music just for the sake of storing. This all came about as a result of file sharing and illegal downloads and with what one could get ... | |
| The title is:"There's No Such Thing As Digital..." So it seems there's more than enough room on the head of this pin for everyone to dance on.One can go on for great lengths citing this and that but in the end, using my own ears, I've yet to hear a PC system easily trounce a really good CDP. The c... | |
| SACD/CD Players Skipping Problems??? Thanks for the tip. | |
| The title is:"There's No Such Thing As Digital..." So it's more than meets the eye (ear). It makes me wonder just how long before PC audio is perfected and glad that I've stuck with those shiny discs. :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| When is it to hot to cut the grass? I wish everyone had your confidence. | |
| Marantz - SA-15S2B or Yamaha CD-S2000 or iPod Zd542,What I mean is that with its ability to extract all the info and pass it on results in a very convincing recreation. Whether it's the DAC implementation or the robust power supply or just the sum of its parts, it recreates a very convincing ... | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers I finally got around to putting some maple cutting boards (John Boos) under my Tonian TL-D1s and can't for the life of me figure out why I didn't do it sooner. Italian flagstone was too harsh, bamboo too dulling. Putting metal discs under the spik... | |
| Thought you might like this.... Just the way nature intended records to be played. | |
| Marantz - SA-15S2B or Yamaha CD-S2000 or iPod Larrybigbird26,Happy to hear you're enjoying the Marantz SA-15S2b. It's truly a wonderful player and easily rivals the sounds I heard at the last Newport Audio show. It may have been different, but in no way lacking. The way it resurrects and resc... | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden My apologies, in advance, for what may end up a double posting as it's being "moderator approved". How utterly contemporary. |
