| BEST DIGITAL AES/EBU CABLES - 2011 Since this thread has come back I will complicate it some more. A good friend of mine has an Acoustic Revive DISX and loves it. He also has the MA-X which I believe he likes better but it's very very close according to his reports. He modified the... | |
| 2011 "comeback" records Donjr...You could compare it to Scratch My Back but nothing at all like his older music...sorta. It does have the intensity and passion but it is all orchestra, no guitar or drums, reworking old songs. I was skeptical but it is a really good recor... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... What's a annual "best of" list without Will Oldham in some form or another...Bonnie "Prince" Billie "Wolfroy Goes To Town"Love this one. It's on the starker side of his stuff, think "Masters & Everyone" if you are familiar with him. For me, th... | |

| Romantic Trombone Concertos This is more chamber jazz than classical but gives you an idea of how melodic the trombone can sound. Very interesting recording venue that is actually an instrument in itself. Cool record.http://www.actmusic.com/product_info.php?products_id=203&a... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Loomisjohnson....Love that Richard Buckner album. The best I've heard from him. Great album! | |
| MIT line-higher models Kenny's description is extremely well stated and matches much of my experience. I'd also add that the holography, definition, depth and realism really advances as you move up the line and particularly the MA or Matrix. Those tend to really project... | |
| What are the "must have" HD Tracks albums? Loving the remastered Nirvana Nevermind album, highly recommended. I also really enjoy Francesco Tristano's Idiosynkrasia which is one of the best sounding recordings I have as well. It's also a very unique blend of styles that is both interesting... | |
| ARC Ref 210 or Ayre MXR with Wilson Maxx2 I ran my Maxx 2 with a Krell FPB 600c and Spectral DMA 360 and loved both paired with them. The Krell was more dynamic, warmer and had greater headroom but the Spectral was way more detailed and truer to the source. My taste leaned to the Spectral... | |
| BEST DIGITAL AES/EBU CABLES - 2011 Ijarvile....I really am not sure, it's been some time since I had other cables here. I definitely found the MA-X more true to the source. My system does produce very "real" sounding instruments and I suppose the digital cable is an influence but a... | |
| Chicks With Guitars Marco I'm listening to the new Feist now and it's quite good. I was not a huge fan of The Reminder or Let It Die but this one I like. Not that the other 2 I have are bad, just maybe a little to sweet for my taste. Metals, the new record, sounds mo... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... 16 Horsepower "Yours Truly"Wouldn't normally consider a "best of" or compilation for this list but gotta add this one. One of my all time favorite bands (thanks Marco....). Yours Truly is a 2 disc set, the first a list voted on by fans, a sort of ... | |
| BEST DIGITAL AES/EBU CABLES - 2011 It's been a while since I have had other digital cables but I spent a great deal of time auditioning prior to selecting the MA-X. For me, it was simply better at everything and the gap was not a small one. Both the Sextet and Emotion are very nice... | |
| Chicks With Guitars Once more, I forgot something....If you do give the Lisa Hannigan record a go, make sure you hear the last track, Nowhere To Go. Best song on the album. Sometimes I have a tendency to dismiss a record before I get to the last song so figured I'd m... | |
| Chicks With Guitars Listened to Lisa Hannigan's new album, Passengers, this morning. Some of you may know her more as that alluring sexy voice on Damien Rice's material but she also had a critically acclaimed solo record, See Saw. This album is similar to the first i... |
