| Review: Millennium M-CD-Mat Tweak You will find no lose of air or detail with Ultra Bit Disc Damper, Shiney side down on the disc and music just opens up and comes to life, 3D imaging, depth and all you find so pleasing with LP's on a 10K turn table. To note also the Marantz SA7-S... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Digital has SOUL as long as the mastering was done right and you have a well made and designed player. Early digital was like the 78 record, and like analog, it improved over time, as more was understood about this new technology. The one advantag... | |
| Review: Wadia 781 CD Player I own the stock unit and sold it after hearing a Droplet of my friend smoke it. Did not buy the Droplet, but dam it was good, and looks to kill and build quality 2nd to none. He paid $3,200 for it! The unit weight 60 lbs if I recall, fit and finis... | |
| Review: : M-CD Mat :The Millennium CD Mat: Tweak Nice mat but was soundly beaten with a mat made by George Lewis who also makes Ultra Platimum Plus. His mats can be used to fine tune any system, so you have more than one way of using his mats. I hear more solid, open, and natural detail, much li... | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 5 vs Harbeth Any issue with the Confidence C5 is setup and room. The myth of power is a myth, I use the McIntosh MC402 with no issues. Yes the speakers take some current to roll, but I seen tough speaker loads on and amps and the C5 loading is not really that ... | |
| CD mastering a lost art? Cannot beat a poor recording. No format can erase poor production. This is why SACD of a poor sonic recording will not really show just how good the medium is. Same for 24/96 or vinyl. Today with the heavy use of compression and electronics during... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Simple your system should be built on a sound that you enjoy coming home to and listening. When you reach the goal you should sit back and enjoy! | |
| Room Treatments Boy you have some learning to do. Room is 50% of the final sound and you can over do it, and it will take some time. My advise is start small, hit the corners on the wall behind you speakers, the center area wall behind your speaker and then liste... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Marantz SA7-S1. Even when I get the itch to sell my for change sake, I just cannot do it, and I've owned a lot of other players. This one has soul! | |
| P.S. Audio Quintet? Worthwhile? Love it on my TV/Video system. On my plasma it really made a positive impact. | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Digital does have the soul of the music when mastered right and the same care is taken for setup. This new trend of knocking digital CD format is to pray another generation starts into this hobby. That is not happening at the numbers that the boom... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? You gain the wisdom to know that nothing is perfect and when your enjoying your system to leave well enough alone. Their (mags) are always going to tell you something is better, and they work on the fear that something will lead to seeing god, whi... | |
| Marantz SA7S1 owners - stock or modded Anyone who hears the Marantz as bright hype detailed has something a miss in there system.Perhaps out of absolute phase, if you run XLR out remember pin 2 is reversed compared to USA balanced inputs, the phase switch should be engaged to put the s... | |
| MIT 750's They are great! Pay $$$$$ today for the same sound with metal boxes! | |
| Review: Music Interface technologies Shotgun S2 Proline 1M Interconnect Should try a pair of MIT 750 Shotgun speaker cables. Unreal sounding, air, width and depth and reach out nad touch imaging. I have two pair for both my systems. Though the one pair is really taken up to much room in a small space so I may have to ... |
