| Female Jazz Singers...new person/new releases... I second Connie Evingson: check out her covers of Peggie Lee standards.I just ordered some Hilary Kole and from the samples, she sounds fantastic.Can't wait to hear her CDs when they arrive. | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can Let's see: A Yamaha AS2000 to see what the fuss is all about and a Hegel H70 and the new Wyred Mintegrated to compare to my Burson PI-160. That, and a quality base augmenter like a Glow Sub One to see if it really can add something below 40 Hz. th... | |
| My experience at Acoustic Image I've been to Elliot's several times and always felt welcomed, if not expected. He's one of the nicest persons you'll ever meet and his ears are among the best in the business.I, too, remember his shop on Ventura and felt like I was intruding, at f... | |
| MERRY CHRISTMAS Merry Christmas!Enjoy the sounds of the holidays and let that be the guiding principle for the rest of the year. Funny, isn't it, that your ears are treated all year round. | |
| Just Turned 50... My hearing is still there and I think a lot of it has to do all these years of listening. My acuity has gotten better even with casual listening with MP3s through my Pod Touch: the mind fills in the rest (or am I actually hearing them since I know... | |
| Why do you Pick a Certain Speaker producer? The sound. Otherwise, why bother? The make and rep of a speaker may draw you in for a listen but by all means, never let that be the deciding factor. Reading between your lines, are you leaning towards a particular speaker that your ears love but ... | |
| Music server There's this now from Wyred4sound: http://www.wyred4sound.com/webapps/p/74030/117839/620191I have no idea what it sounds like but if their past products are any indication of their sound, then this might be a winner. I'm going to wait and see. The... | |
| What was your first tweak? Way back when (around 1990) I sent my Philips CD-80 to Stan Warren and had him mod it for me. It worked. The sound was more open, detailed and dynamic. | |
| Computer Audiophile Pocket Server -C.A.P.S. v2.0 Funny you should ask this as Chris just came out with a review of the Aurneder S10 Music Server and fell in love with the sounds and looks of the unit as well as the interface. But there was one sentence, towards the end of his review, where he st... | |
| How Many Audiophiles Have Do You Know? The only real audiophile I've met and had over to listen to my system met me by correspondence through audiocircle.com, who didn't do so under the pretext to buy something but to listen to what I had and to bring over his equipment to compare. He'... | |
| Need Some DAC + Headphone Advice Check out the Centrance DACmini. It doesn't start out as a pre amp but can be modded. The volume is for the headphone output but can be modded to be used as a preamp for $99. Check out the reviews. | |
| Mixed Up Track Order from dbPoweramp rips If your using a Mac, go into the info portion of the track, while in iTunes, and arrange it so that the artist is the same from track to track. Sometimes, deleting the artist entirely has to be done if there are lots of different, original artists... | |
| cd player or computer with dac Niagra Falls..... | |
| Redgum amplifiers Haven't heard the Redgum but thought about it until I got the Burson PI-160 which is also from down under. Very similar to how you described it. There must be something in the water down there. | |
| Why CD players will never be dead No.An uncorrectable error burst is just one of many issues addressed elsewhere in this thread.Your 'complete fallacy' assertion would take quite a major leap of faith to believe.On paper, in a perfect world, there is no reason for a CDP not to rea... |
