| Thinking of rcprince who works in Manhattan Thank you to all of you for your concern and messages. John_1, I see Rayhall has posted on another thread, so I'm glad to see him well. | |
| Thinking of rcprince who works in Manhattan Thank you, Detlof, I'm OK, as I was not in the buildings at the time. I usually time my trip to the office so I'm coming up from the PATH under 1 WTC about 8:55 a.m. (just as the first plane hit, I understand), but yesterday I went in an hour earl... | |
| Soudstage issue Not an unusual occurrence, in my experience, and one I've wondered about a little too. When you think of it, a solo piano has its own pair of stereo recording mikes, so this could cause the effect; I've always assumed that it was because of the po... | |
| What tube amp for watt/puppy V.1's As a Jadis owner, and not being a real fan of either WATT/Puppies or the Audio Research amps, I'm surprised to report that I heard the WATT/Puppy 6 combination with ARC Reference 300 Mk II amps and felt that it was stunningly good. Finally an ARC ... | |
| Any other tubes out there? 6bq5 is correct, to my knowledge, about the Ei's. They used to come stock with Jadis preamps before the war came. I have a set that came with my JP80 and a spare reserve set, but they're in storage since I started using Telefunkens, which are just... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Abstract7, yes, I remembered your prior posts about Temirkanov; I thought they were terrific when I heard them with Zinman, so I'd love to hear an orchestra that sounds better than that! Here in NJ we're looking for a successor to Zdenek Macaal, h... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Detloff, I find it funny that it would take each of us about the same amount of time to get to Vienna to hear the VPO, although it would cost you a little less! Actually, I'm going to be there next June for a private concert in a nearby castle, so... | |
| How often do you listen to live music? Hello Detlof! At least twice a week, as I sing in a church choir and we have a rehearsal and performance every week, and I listen to our organist's postlude. As far as attending concerts and other musical events, I attend at least two or three a m... | |
| more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon Sugarbrie, there actually are a good number of new classical SACD releases now coming out from Telarc, Delos, Hyperion, Lyrinx, Bis and Sony Classical, among others, most of which are DSD recordings or 20/24 bit recordings converted to DSD and all... | |
| What is the story with 24 bit masters 24/96 . The final product is converted down to standard CD redbook; no CD only player I'm aware of can read and play back a 24/96 disc. I think what they've done is use 24/96 technology to get as much of the analog masters into the digital domain as they ... | |
| Favorite SACD's There are a number of previous threads on this subject that you should check out for good recommendations. A recent SACD which I bought is a Bis recording, Prieres Sans Paroles, which is a recording of 20th Century pieces for solo trumpet and orga... | |
| any one comparing DCS with upsampling to SACD? Not sure what you're asking in the body of your post, but in response to the heading I have a Forsell MkIV, dCS Purcell upsampler and Audio Logic 24 bit DAC combo which I use for CDs, and a Sony SCD777ES modded by addition of the Audio Logic tubed... | |
| Please help me choose CD isolation Bmpnyc: In response to your last question, I found that the inner tube base appeared to have the effect of making the player seem like it sounded about 2 db louder; essentially, it lowered the noise floor and made the soundstaging much better, as ... | |
| Please help me choose CD isolation I have been very impressed with the results of putting my SCD777ES on a silicone and air-filled inner tube/sand/lead base made by one of the members of the NJ Audio Society, a similar concept to the Seismic Sink I have used but a little more effec... | |
| Best speaker with tubes? Another you may want to consider, if you don't need much bass below 40hz (i.e., if you listen mostly to rock, jazz and smaller orchestral works), are the Dunlavy SC-IIIs. Easy to drive, comparatively small (OK, not the height, but at least the foo... |
