| Focus on 24/192 Misguided?..... The same recording transfered to 16/44 does not sound as good as the same recording transfered to a higher resolution whether it is SACD or 24/96 (or 24/192). Can we move on and try to get recordings put out on something higher than 256k? | |
| Amplification for Magico V2 please help Seriously. If you have that class of speaker then you need to find a good dealer and start listening to some amps. | |
| Could use your advice re: tube gear Get the CJ PV5 redone at the factory and then get a wonderful MV55 and have it looked at by them too. Gorgeous little combo but the limiter is still the PV5. | |
| Is there a fined Solid state Pre Amp for under 8k? All depends on the speakers and amp. First speakers, then amp, then preamp. Goes without saying you need a good source with everything.The more I listen to things the more I am convinced that having speakers that you love first then matching the a... | |
| CD player to compete with my vinyl rig? I troll for used cds now and will in future but as soon as I get them home I rip them into a NAS drive and listen through a Linn DS unit. The ability to keep track of my extensive library easily and to surf my collection has made listening to musi... | |
| Best Sounding CD / SACD player under 15K Easy. Get a CD8 from ARC. | |
| what speaker to replace atc scm35 Bigger ATC's. | |
| 24/192 Wireless Server Yes. Just use one of Linn's DS players with an AirPort Express so that the AirPort is part of the network and you output the ethernet into the Linn DS and voila...24/192 wireless. Not only that but it is SUPERB! | |
| LINN Akurate DS vs. ANY CD PLAYER Chesebert: Klimax playing MP3's? *s* I know what you mean though, if you are listening to Linn's internet radio stations as 320kps it is actually quite good and only gets better as you up the resolution. Mateored: All you need to do is go and list... | |
| LINN Akurate DS vs. ANY CD PLAYER Someone has to buy it new before you get to purchase it used. In my opinion (and this is after hearing a LOT of cd and SACD players that were higher priced than the Akurate) is that it is more than worth it's retail price. That is borne out easily... | |
| Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range Pair of Linn Akurate 242's on Agon right now at $3500. Stupidly cheap and one hell of a speaker. Read what Art Dudley wrote about them a few years ago...hasn't changed.Obviously you are not afraid of change so you may see yourself buying into thei... | |
| Which TOWERs work well CLOSE to the BACK WALL? That is a lot of money. If you are spending that kind of money then a couple of auditions (at least) is in order and move the speakers anywhere you want and get a feel how each of the ones you are considering will perform closer to a wall rather t... | |
| Are CD players dead Good point on the not finding cd quality downloads. If that should ever break (read: if iTunes ever becomes cd quality 16/44) THEN things will take off like a rocket on the computer music side of things. That of course assumes most of the people a... | |
| Are all Linn products made in Scotland? Yeah...and where are Chevy Volts made...every part of them!!Like it or not we live in a global economy and trying to have every part and every bolt made by the "manufacturer" is almost impossible.By the way, Linn products are "made" in Scotland in... | |
| Are CD players dead This subject is getting a lot of attention, just look at the responses here. Cds' aren't dead or dying anytime soon but with hard disk based music playback getting so good it is easy to see why some think that it's the only way to go.Once some of ... |
