| How do you guys choose between CD releases? "what about the quality of the "reviewer?" and what if they are just listening to snidbits over their mp3 players."Good point Oakleys, especially since I frequently rely on Amazon reviewers. I know quite a few people who listen exclusively on what... | |
| $4000 to Spend on Amp, Preamp and USB DAC Will you consider an integrated amp? IMO, an integrated can net you the greatest bang for the buck at your price point. There is a Underwood modified LSA currently for sale that might take you to your dimension of preference. | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? "Soon, there will be blu-ray versions of some cd's and those will, in most cases, sound much better then any of the cd releases."I realize that given just how rapidly digital technology is changing, that this is probably a question more appropriat... | |
| How do you guys choose between CD releases? The tone of my thread takes it for granted that there is a difference between reissues. That probably should have been my first question. Is this something that I should even be concerned about? | |
| DCCA or Shunyata help? I was initially looking to spend about $1000. Sam, but it's not a hard target. It's just the point where any expenditure beyond, will have to result in an audio epiphany like experience relative to any lesser expenditure. | |
| When does analog compete with digital? I have to split em up?! | |
| When does analog compete with digital? The tremendous influence of the seemingly microsignificant on turntable performance continues to astound and repel me. Jferreir, no factor of analog is trivial IMO. | |
| Yet Another Speaker Choice Question Buconero, Krell_man, Steveaudio, Okay, Freediver's taking this a little too casually for me too. But lets not be too hard on the lad. Perhaps she has merely provided him with the excuse he's been waiting for to upgrade all along, and is now making... | |
| DCCA or Shunyata help? Thanks guys. Do you have any suggestions Sam? I'm looking for a cable that's very accurate from top to bottom. Neutral but not dry. I'd like the music to come out of the blackest background possible but without loss of detail. | |
| Which Telefunken 12ax7 The Siemens have been breaking in for about 50 hours now and seem to be the ticket in my system. They are very detailed without being dry or bright. Definition, dynamics and accuracy of timbre have all been elevated to a level that now comes much ... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? LOL... OK, I'm dead(for now); but learn how to read anyway. | |
| When does analog compete with digital? "Digital better than all but a $35k vinyl rig?"I didn't say that Tex. Draw! | |
| When does analog compete with digital? The best front end I've heard is a $35,000 turntable (with arm and cartridge) that was installed and tweaked over several visits by the TT distributor. So, I guess analog wins, for now. That said, until I heard this particular TT, while I could he... | |
| When does analog compete with digital? "I think one of the things that was missed here is why so many (non-audiophiles, mostly) people believe CD's sound better than vinyl"Perhaps because so many turntable systems are less than optimally set up; and frequently much less than, IMO. | |
| Which Telefunken 12ax7 Well, as it turns out, while I was seeking consensus on this forum, the particular Telefunkens that I was eyeballing were sold to a gentleman in Hong Kong (the quick and the dead). In lengthy conversation with Brent, we decided to start with a pai... |
