| Has anyone answered the real question? Actually, I know what you're talking about, as it happens often to me. Last spring I was in a 170 mile bike ride for two days and couldn't get a piece of music I had practiced the night before out of my head--I was sort of on cruise control and no... | |
| embarassment du choix The one that sounds best in my system after I gave them both a full audition. | |
| watt puppy 7 / sophia? There's a recent thread on this very subject, you should use the search engine. Audioauricle's first sentence is the consensus, I believe. The key is having a good front end, as the WP is far more revealing of flaws ahead of it than the Sophia. On... | |
| Three Classical Sacd's on a desert island Sonically, I think the SFO recording is a little more focused in its image specificity and clearer sounding, particularly the chorus--more a matter of the recording engineer's mike placement and Delos' mixing in of the ambient channels, possibly? ... | |
| Jerry Ozment has a new dac out... I spoke with Jerry. Basically, he always felt that the 20-bit chips from the original Model 34 DAC were the best-sounding ones he ever used, so what I understand he's done has been to make a one-box version of that DAC but with the transformer-cou... | |
| Three Classical Sacd's on a desert island I'd have the same answer as you if it were Disco or Rap! :^) | |
| Three Classical Sacd's on a desert island Only 3? Very difficult and unfair. I guess it would be:1. Mahler Symphony no.2, probably the Bernstein version, though on SACD it would be Litton/DSO or Tilson-Thomas/SFO2. Bach--Brandenbergs, as Warren--probably Pinnock's version. Always need Bac... | |
| Soundproofing Doors at Home Depot Douglas_schroeder's suggestion was going to be mine. There are also various sand-filled fabric tubes/socks that people use to keep the cold from coming under their doors that you can probably find in a Miles Kimball catalog or the like and would b... | |
| Jerry Ozment has a new dac out... Now I'm going to have to call him to find out what's up with this DAC and if he can update my DAC, if it's worth it. Any word on the changes Jerry's made? Does he have a DSD interface????? | |
| Your Future System, within reach Slipknot: I thought that was you. While I thought the system sounded too bright for my tastes that day, I was interested enough by the table to pay Lloyd a return visit yesterday, and I got to hear that table demonstrated properly. I was afraid yo... | |
| Your Future System, within reach I'm not sure yet how I'm going to afford them, but a Walker Prosceniuum Gold TT/arm and the EMM Labs combo are on my list. I had the pleasure of an extended audition of that TT yesterday, and it is everything its admirers say it is and then some. | |
| How do you clean your RCA female inside ? I like the Signet tools, dipped in Kontak DeOxit or a similar cleaner. Be careful not to press too hard, you might loosen the contact internally. | |
| Violin, Viola,Cello background noise Tilghman: Don't have that one--any from Hyperion or Bis that might exhibit the sound? I might have some of those with chamber groups. This is interesting to me, I might go out and buy this disc (I'd like the music, anyway) just to hear what you're... | |
| Violin, Viola,Cello background noise Could it also possibly be the sounds of the bows on the strings (close-miking can reveal this, particularly with smaller ensembles)? I'm not really sure what the sound you're describing really is until I hear it. | |
| Where are the full-function preamps? Add Jadis to the list too; their phono stages on the JP80 and JP200 are among the best.I think you can explain the trend to separate phono stages cynically (hey, we already have the chasis from our line stage, now we can make more money selling a ... |
