| Transport for a dCS Delius - HELP I'd tend to agree with Dr joe, much as it doesn't make sense to me logically. I have a Forsell, Sony SCD 777ES and Marantz DV-18 which I have used at various times to feed my Audio Logic DAC, and damned if they don't all sound different. Forsell i... | |
| Use Only 1 Channel of A 2 Channel Amplifier? For solid state amps, I don't see a problem--I currently use only one channel of each of my Sonogy stereo amps for bass, solely because of space/wiring considerations, and the amps have been fine. Tubes, though, are different, as I believe they ne... | |

| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder This thread is great, takes me down memory lane. Don't think I saw Surfin' Bird by the Trashmen mentioned here. A record a friend of mine bought just so he could destroy it with a sledgehammer. | |
| Your favorite movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony Marakenetz, great memory, I'd forgotten that! Liked that movie, Oldman was a bit over the top but still good. Interesting he then played the part of Beethoven in Immortal Beloved. | |
| Your favorite movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony For me, it's the second movement. Perhaps the greatest scherzo ever written. From my point of view, the rest of the symphony goes downhill from there, but I know I'm in the minority here. | |
| Telarc cd's and Mozart's Requiem Agree with Kr4 on the Linn for SACD; I was not that impressed with the Channel Classics release with the Netherlands Bach Ensemble on SACD. The best performance in my book and a pretty good recording is the Peter Schreier (can't remember the choru... | |
| What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks? Typical good post by Onhwy61. I agree with your main premise, that you can get excellent sound for $7500, and beyond that the law of diminishing returns kicks in. What you get when you spend the extra money is, IMHO, (i) top quality bass reproduct... | |
| Anyone heard Jadis JS 1 tube dac Very musical. The original version of the DAC is a Jerry Ozment design, if you get an earlier one I would expect it should sound similar to an Audio Logic Model 34, but perhaps a little more on the dark side (Jerry used better quality capacitors i... | |
| Album cd or LP with best bass for new subwoofer For more organ recordings with REAL deep bass, none of that wimpy 32 hz stuff, check out the thread by Texasdave "Organ CDs with Really Deep Bass". Or for bass drums giving you somewhere only in the 35-40 hz bass but the "instantaneous thrust" Sea... | |
| Properly connecting an isotaion transformer What I just had done (still not hooked up to the outlets) is to have a separate 100 amp subpanel away from my main panel for the house and run four separate lines from it, 2 20 amp lines for my amps/active speaker crossovers and two separate 20 am... | |
| Has anyone tried upsampling a CD to 96k/24 bit? I agree with Kal here. You're certainly not going to gain any new information from the upsampling process; at most you're adding noise (mind you, I do like upsampling's effect, but I'm not going to pretend that I'm getting more information from th... | |
| Good Amp/Preamp for "bright " Thiel 3.6 speakers ? The above advice is excellent. Adding to Tom's post, if you can't afford the Krell FPB series, you could try an older KSA model (either the 150 or 250 would work well) rather than the KAV models, which I agree won't be nearly as good. You have exc... | |
| GE 6550's I don't know if GE is still making 6550s, but when I got my Jadis amps in 1990 they were and I had their 6550s in my amps. In the Jadis equipment, the GEs could not hold a candle to the Philips 6550s I got to replace them, nor to the Svetlana 6550... | |
| Which Sony: SCD-1, XA777ES or XA9000ES? The SCD-1. Take a look at Audio Asylum on this, there are a lot of posts on this topic on the Hi-Rez Highway forum. The big difference is the transport, which was a cost-no-object job on the SCD-1 and, according to the posts I recall, a much bette... |
