| MIT ORACLE Z3 Thenis...I have used the Z3's on and off for many years. In my system they sound extremely neutral, true to the source and quiet. I prefer them to most power cables regardless of price. I get fantastic dynamics, open (maybe slightly forward) and a... | |
| Rock n Roll w/Strings Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers. Very similar use of cello, maybe leaning harder to the rock/R+B side of things though. | |
| What amp for Q5's? Spectral, Solution, Gryphon If you are going to consider Spectral, I would add the DMA 260 to your list. I know at least 2 people that bought the 260 over the 360 Series 2. Hard to believe a 10k amp competes with the upper tier you are exploring but apparently it does. Good ... | |
| Melody Gardot Live Great band! Thanks for posting the clip! | |
| Karan amp experiences wanted Himiguel...Just wanted to say that is a beautiful system you have assembled! I'm sure it sounds amazing. Congrats!! I have been curious about Karan amps for some time now. I've bounced around some and pretty much always go back to Spectral, always... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... OBrown...never heard of Audra Mae, gotta check her out. Glad we have all spent your money:) !Since you like James Blake, he has a new EP and it's very very good, particularly the title track "Love What Happened Here" [R&S Records]. He also rel... | |

| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... and...while I'm on the subject of soundtracks, I should mention the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack from The Cave Of Forgotten Dreams (Ernst Reijseger). Gorgeous cello performance with choral and piano. Very highly recommended. I have not had a ch... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... The year ain't over yet!If you have a chance, listen to the new soundtrack to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo from Trent Reznor & Attica Ross. It opens with Karen O joining them for a remake of Zepplins The Immigrant song and it's wicked. Many... | |
| Berkeley Alpha Dac Series II, anyone heard it? Sabai... admittedly, I'm not much for audiophile verbal expression so my apologies if it comes off as confusing. I guess I was just trying to say that I was able to notice improvements as soon as I began to listen to the series 2 but as a whole, I... | |
| Berkeley Alpha Dac Series II, anyone heard it? Branislav...I have had my dac now for a couple of weeks but the trouble is I had sold my series 1 several weeks before it arrived. I think I have a good feel for the differences but I have not done a direct A/B not is this device settled in comple... | |
| Album Of The Year 2011 Mezmo...Many thanks for the kind words. Sometimes I wonder if my posts are much more than annoying! I really enjoy sharing music with the good folk here so glad it's mutual in some cases. I know my taste can push the boundaries of the typical Agon... | |
| Album Of The Year 2011 Sounds real audio...what a beautiful voice. Never heard her before, nice album!King of Limbs is good but I much prefer the TKOL remix's :) | |
| Album Of The Year 2011 Here's another Lara Marling video I can't resist sharing. It's the last song on the album, Sophia. Sophia is the goddess of power and a reoccurring character/theme throughout the record.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=... | |
| Album Of The Year 2011 Marco...Diamond Mine was one I seriously considered along with the 2011 Tim Hecker releases, Ravedeath, 1972 & Dropped Pianos EP, but ultimately I knew the Laura Marling record was one that would stay with me. All great albums, it's hard to na... |
