| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? Terry9, vinyl doesn't deliver the degree of consistancy needed for the measurements you're talking about, and you must have consistency for any scientific comparison. Unfortunately, digital and vinyl are apples and oranges; consequently the only c... | |
| Miles Davis Newbe Question Ck, tell us what you've listened to that you liked the most including sidemen with Miles and we can realy help you. While some of the very best jazz musicians have been mentioned, many have been left out. | |
| Tube amp decision - Thoughts ARC and Thiel are a match made in heaven. I have spoken often of the time I heard that match. | |
| Which is more accurate: digital or vinyl? I was responding to the fact that I'm a technician, and the question is not "audiophillic" if there is such a word; but technical.As a technician, I rely on my ears as opposed to measurements when we are in the "audiophile domain", and as an "audi... | |
| Technics and Threshold? My bad, that's a different model from the one I was thinking of. | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Although I have a transport, digital transmission interface, and DAC; I hardly ever use them, I'm strictly computer. Let us know if a computer based system will suit you. | |

| Miles Davis Newbe Question There never has been, and there never will be another "Bird". His music is "current" always and forever. | |
| Benefits of Buying Used Equipment of Age Jmcgrogan2, you are absolutely right; however, my pre began to sound like beer that had been opened and left out all night, it was flat. After I replaced the caps, it came back to life and was like new again. | |
| Miles Davis Newbe Question Clifford is my favorite too. His pairing with Max Roach was the best. Richie Powell, who was Bud Powell's younger brother was also killed in that accident. | |
| "Violinists blast holes in violin experiment" The best results in audio come from blind tests. This is especially true for turntables. The pretty ones with the names were always considered so much better than "Rega"; however, in blind tests that changed. Some of those much more expensive than... | |
| Benefits of Buying Used Equipment of Age Jmcgrogan2, that was precisely my point. If the gear is over 10 years old, and the caps have not been replaced; it is not performing up to it's highest potential. | |
