| For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers Thanks Nostrov. I simply want to upgrade to a relatively top line speaker that will work with my current Spectral/MIT system which uses a single 200 watt amp. I couldn't afford to duplicate what's needed for the Megalines-and prefer the simplicity... | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Dedicated lines are it-without a doubt. The Hydra will still be great for either your pre or digital- just experiment for optimum benefit. Dedicated lines, which I have used for 20+ years, do not replace good power conditioning in my experience. | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER As a famous wag once said "news of my death was entirely premature". It's never over. | |
| PC & Dedicated Power Lines Questions Have you considered the "Olflex" sheilded european cable. I understand it's very high quality and in fact I am rewiring my main to stereo set up with the 190-unless I hear of something better in the next week. It is often available as excess from ... | |
| A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt? I wouldn't dream of going back from my MIT EVOs. Saved a good while to get them and appreciate them every time I listen. Saving again for Oracle V1.1s. Will start with Cd to pre. Looking forward to it! | |
| For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers Tower_tsin Thank you. How did they 'show their age'? What electonics did you use with the Temptations? Now that you're settled in with the WP 8s do you find them better and if so how? Thanks for you're suggestions on the other speakers but there i... | |
| Harmonia Mundi "New Releases" disc samplers Thanks Photon, I own a 6CD set called Europa from Harmonia Mundi which is 'Musical treasures of 25 Centuries'. Is this the one you mean. The single disc samplers I was referring to is a 4 x yearly compilation of upcoming releases with release date... | |
| Why HDCD did not become a dominant format? Thank you very much Mcpody, I will check them out. Today I went and listened to a Sony XA9000ES. Unfortunately I am spoiled by the Spectral/MIT but I found it good enough that I will try it at home in the next day or 2- they are clearing it out at... | |
| Why HDCD did not become a dominant format? It is possible the differences stand out more due to the Spectral/MIT system. | |
| Why HDCD did not become a dominant format? I think you're both right. The mix and recording skills are vital. Yes the RR recordings will sound great on any decent machine, however, IMO you haven't really heard them til you've heard them via HDCD on a comparably decent machine. I was very s... | |
| PC-Audio vs. High-end CD Player-GAME OVER I'm with Tomcy6 just waiting for all those cheap CDs to become available. | |
| Why HDCD did not become a dominant format? Thanks all. Mcpody, I appreciate your info and the EAD 2000 may sound great but I am unwilling to take a chance on the inevitable breakdown for which parts may no longer be available. To my certain knowledge this is already affecting maintenance/r... | |
| For those who "sold" Dynaudio Evidence speakers Thanks again Ttowntony. It's good to hear the Temptations are easy to drive and even better to hear the Evo W7 amps are adaquate as the Spectral DMA 180 has quite a bit more power(current). Speaking of power requirements, I once had an electrician... | |
| Why HDCD did not become a dominant format? Thanks David, You're right about the XRCDs. They're available-but very pricey, more than even the priciest SACDs. That's what keeps my purchases of them resticted. If they were only $5.00 more than a regular CD they'd be a favorite for me; but the... | |
| Why HDCD did not become a dominant format? Mcpody,yes I too enjoy the JVC XRCD and 'very' much appreciate their quality. JVC seems to have absolutely minimized distortion and that certainly allows for a much more musical presentation. In fact I think that's another recording system that CD... |
