| DAC in player vs DAC in computer. What's the best computer for an audiophile. Does one computer have a better master clock than another? | |
| How selective are you? My new method for buying music is to review it on "Youtube" first. That's given me 100% satisfaction. | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? I'm not into that "uber" quality thing. All I can say is that LP's are better than early CD's.The worlds greatest musicians have recorded stuff that belongs in the dumpster. You have to be very specific and only get the music you know about, as op... | |
| DAC in player vs DAC in computer. According to a "Geek" I know, no such device exists. | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? I have "The complete Blue Note Recordings of The Tina Brooks Quintets" on Mosaic LP's. This is "World Music" with Regina Carter. She can come out of many different bags, although this is the first time I saw her play world music. I liked the compo... | |
| Benefits of brand synergy "Brand Synergy" = "House sound" and that hasn't worked for me. In general, I like ARC amps and CJ pre's, and now I own neither in my listening room; but in order to get the sound that I like, as opposed to what they think is best, separate brands ... | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Yes, it doesn't seem to work very well. Fortunately, the center channel, plus right and left are where they are supposed to be; but I just checked "balance" and it doesn't seem to work. Since this is in the bedroom as opposed to the listening room... | |
| ConradJohnson--Can their vintage compete with new? Nobody wants to part with their PV-12, including yours truly. In some ways they are better. CJ was known for the CJ glow back in the day. Their adds were photographs of sax, trumpet, trombone, across a piano. Jazz saxes were "saxier" and trombones... | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? Here is Tina Brooks from the Masaic LP set. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1yyGYZoa34Back to violin, here's Regina Carter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF4ifBXx-Z8&feature=related | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? Rok2id is not the jazz lover he pretends to be. If he was, he would have at least commented, and possibly applauded some of the gems I presented on "Youtube".If you notice, he's put everything down, and hasn't put up one single example of what "fl... | |
| DAC in player vs DAC in computer. I have a DTI that improved the sound of almost any DAC, but it has no connection for a computer. Is there such a device for the computer, a reclocking device.What does it take to get the best sound out of the computer. Since I'm computer illiterat... | |
| How important is an audio rack? My stuff sits on wooden shelves, but an extreme audiophile I visited had sturdy metal racks; the kind you see in Stereophile. Since his sound was the best I've heard, I know they make a difference. I believe the question "How much"? is related to ... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. Unsound, I looked for a definitive post to confirm your convictions in this "imperfect world of audio reproduction", and I couldn't find one. Do you have any convictions? | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. PrimaLuna ProLogue Seven monos, with the right NOS tubes; are superior to the ARCS I've heard, which were my amps of choice before PrimaLuna. 300B SET's are amps I'm going to give a spin, not amps I've even heard before. "Theoretically", they coul... | |
| Spectron vs any good tube amp. This is a "Tower of Babel" if there ever was one. "God confused their language, causing them to speak different languages so they would not understand each other".The music we like, and every aspect of that music determines what gear we like best.... |
