Help with a de-emphasis list?
Here is another really good thread, it gets a little too technical for me, though:http://www.dsprelated.com/showmessage/2587/1.php"I wonder if it was utilized perhaps more than the industry let on."I also wonder: If so few discs were mastered with... 
Help with a de-emphasis list?
PRE-EMPHASIS: pre-emphasis increases the magnitude of some frequencies with respect to the magnitude of other frequencies in order to improve the overall signal-to-noise ratio. A corresponding de-emphasis process is required on playback so as to r... 
Good speakers to match with Spectral DMA-50
At a high-end audio store here in NYC they like to match Spectral electronics with Wilson speakers. Very nice combo. 
Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective
"Graded ___ only for age" Useless. "Graded ___ to be safe"So the seller can be safe. Doesn't do me any good, unless the piece is priced accordingly--to this "safe only" grade. Don't think that happens, though 
Krell Resolution 3 vs Dynaudio C1; Focal Micro Be
I have owned the Resolution 3's for three years. At the time I bought them I auditioned the Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor and the mbl 311 E. Lapierre is right on the money--the 8" woofer of the Krell gives the music an added weight that was missing ... 
Goldmund Speakers, one question?
I had the pleasure of hearing the top-of-the-line Goldmund Speakers at Bob's store. Truly the best I've experienced, with the caveat that I've never been to shows and haven't listened to as wide a range of brands as some, on the other hand I've he...

Authenticating Autographed Items?
Davt's sentiments are nice, but I don't completely agree. Nobody should stand for getting ripped off. I'm no signature expert, but it doesn't look good. Bob Weir's signature in particular looks way off. I could be very wrong, but I think the stuff... 
Goldmund speakers
@Nyctc7 : you say "As to the full epilogue, it costs around a quarter million dollars. Of course it was the finest speaker I ever heard"with which speakers have you compared them ?]REPLYWell, let's say I drove a Rolls Royce and stated it was the f... 
Goldmund speakers
I listened to both Goldmund's entry level speakers, the (mini)logos, and their top-of-the-line, the full epilogue. Goldmund products are extremely expensive and do not offer good value. The logos are fine as surround speakers in a home theater sys... 
Review: Linn Majik CD Player
Follow up: It's through my Sennheiser 650 headphones that I have really appreciated how the Linn is superior to the Rotel. (Which it ought to be, at 5 times the price.) I remember being somewhat disappointed in the Sennheiser 650's, thinking that ... 
Review: Silverline Audio Sonata III Speaker
Thanks for a thoutough review, I liked it. I am considering getting floorstanders to replace my monitors and I love the way the Sonata III's look!! Nice pics. 
Best monitor under 5k?
I live in a studio apartment and love my Krells. The retail for $4,000, not including the stands. Their 8" midbass woofer gives them a respectable bass response for a stand-mounted speaker. They sound great!Pic here:http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/s...
