| Blue ray player with good audio Oppo BDP-83SE | |
| Fleetwood Mac There's a good chance that if the OP is into the Stevie Nicks Lindsey Buckingham Fleetwood Mac era, they may not like the older Blues oriented FM records of the Peter Green era.The only other stellar Stevie, Lindsey era Mac album I can think of wo... | |
| Best Multi channel amp under $2,000 used or new Some options would be Proceed Amp5 with the caveat that service for Levinson sourced gear has been spotty at best lately, also EAD Powermaster, Bryston 9Bst, or possibly Krell showcase or even the Sunfire. These should all be in your price range u... | |
| 3D Bluray players and Tvs I don't remember anyone comparing Bluray with SCAD, and if anyone did they're a fool. This is the classic apples and oranges argument. SACD and DVD-Audio were always going to be audiophile niche products, and nothing else, despite Sony's hype at t... | |
| SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering. The worst sounding of the 120 or so SACDs I own is by far Roger Waters- In The Flesh. Too bad because the performance is very good and I love Roger but what a horrible recording/remastering. | |
| Pre amp with Atma-Sphere S30 Yes, I would definitely second the matching Atma-Sphere pre. I have heard an Atma-Sphere Zu system before, great choice I'm sure you will love it. | |
| Bi-Amping questions What you are proposing is known as passive bi-amping. If your NAD pre does not have two sets of outputs, then you will need to utilize some form of "Y" splitter, or have interconnects built with a "Y" split. This will allow you to hook both power ... | |
| Favorite Music DVD? The best concert DVD I have ever seen is Stop Making Sense, by The Talking Heads. They Hired Jonathan Demme to direct it. This was before Demme was a well known Hollywood director. The combination of the video quality, filmed on 35mm,and sound and... | |
| Shunyata Hydra requires a 20 amp.... If your existing power cord has a 15amp IEC then you will need an adapter,(Shunyata makes them.) If it has a 20amp IEC then you are good to go. There is no difference between a 20amp Diamonback, just as an example, and a 15amp Diamondback other th... | |
| Your First Concert was..... April Wine, 1976 or 77, Niagara Falls Memorial Arena. The opening act........RUSH! Partway through the tour Rush's current LP 2112 took off and Rush split from the April Wine tour and headlined their own. | |
| Hum from Grado on LP12.. Better carts to consider? Yes. I would second the suggestion of a Lyra cartridge for your LP12. The reason they are such a good match for the Linn table is that Lyra used to manufacture all of Linns higher end MC phono carts, including the Troika, if I'm not mistaken. I'm ... | |
| Which is the best cd player under $10k? The Electrocompaniet EC-1UP comes up for sale used regularly on AudiogoN. This is the finest CD player I have ever heard, and I have heard plenty, including many machines two and three times the price of a new EC-1UP. It sounds exactly as you desc... | |
| Shunyatas New CX series Vhiner where did you hear about the new Black Mamba CX cord? I have been to Shunyata's website and all over the internet and can't find any mention of this new cord, or the news that Shunyata is discontinuing the new Sidewinder and Viper CX cords ... | |
| NAD 955 vs Emotiva XPA-5 Sound quality differences not withstanding, considering the likely future upgrade to Totem speakers I would tend towards the higher powered amplifier, as some Totem speakers can be a little power hungry. One thing to remember though is that even a... | |
| HDCD VS SACD I realized that I really didn't answer your question. While the majority of people agree that HDCD is an improvement over non HDCD CD's it is not the equivalent, sound quality wise,to SACD's which use a much higher sampling and bit rate than conve... |
