| Records Everywhere - Help! Eldragon, you beat me to the punch! If you like stackable, open wood frame holders, the Per Madsen Designs storage units are quite nice. | |
| Must -have SACD's The Telarc Dukas disc, the Delos Mahler Second (the massive orchestral climaxes on this one are light years better than on the CD version). Both of these are hybrid discs. If you like choral music, the dmp Gaudeamus is very nice as well. A lot of ... | |
| Top Ten Speaker Cables of all time?... Albert, a question: How would you describe the difference between the Proteus and the Dominus, particularly with regard to RF and EMI screening? I'm happy with my Full Spectrum cables, but they're no longer readily available and I've got additiona... | |
| Digital RCA vs AES/EBU connections I have not made comparisons, but I know that Forsell prefers its bnc connector, even using RCAs with their supplied adaptor, to AES/EBU, and that when I upgraded my Audio Logic dac and asked them to add another RCA jack for my 24/96 transport, aft... | |
| Best Retailer Youve Done Business With? I'll second the mention of Audio Outlet. Mike O'Keefe not only has one of the best set of ears around, he is also a top-notch turntable setup man and an expert on vintage vinyl. In addition, I have nothing but good things to say for my two local d... | |
| Sony transport 24/ 96 dac compatability I'm not sure, but I assume you're talking about using the Sony or another transport to play CDs, not DADs with 24/96 resolution. The Sony can only output a 16 bit/44khz digital signal from its digital output. It could not give you a true 24/96 sig... | |
| hdcd recommendations jazz or classical All of the Reference Recordings releases for the past few years have been HDCD. The series of recordings with the Minnesota Orchestra, particularly the Bernstein disc, are excellent recordings and good performances, although there are some who bel... | |
| 24/96 where to buy? You can get Classic's ones at their website (classicrecs.com). MusicDirect in Chicago is another source, although I don't have their web address. | |
| Best Audio Related Story (or joke). Here's a true story. When I got my new speaker system (a four-piece system with an active crossover), the guy who built it didn't have monoblock crossovers for me, so he gave me two stereo ones, both prototypes, to use till the new ones were built... | |
| Wadia X-32 My recollection is that the X32 was Wadia's attempt to produce a lower priced DAC than their multi-box 2000 and Digimaster 64, both of which used 64x oversampling vs. the X32's (you guessed it) 32x oversampling, in order to compete with the lower ... | |
| Rolling Stones remasters I found the literature I was looking for, and my previous post made reference to the wrong letter/number combination. On any of the recent remasters is there an "SA3" process reference? | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Rayhall, in the NYC area Audio Outlet may still have their demo unit of the Callisto, if you want to listen to it (they were listing it for sale a while). A short walk from the Mount Kisco train station, so not too difficult to get to. | |
| Rolling Stones remasters Pops, in the blah, blah blah you referred to, is there any mention of an MP33 (or something like that) system or process used in the remastering? | |
| Top Ten Turntables of All Time?? I've always been impressed with the Basis Debuts and Ovation. Also, I have a warm spot in my heart for the Well Tempered, which is what got me back into analog in the late 80s and is really an innovative design. And a special vote for my son's old... | |
| Best DAC Under $5000 - Opinions Please I cast my vote for the Audio Logic 2400 as well. The most "alive"-sounding dac I've heard. |
