| Marigo Apparition 5.8 vs Audioquest EagleEye I owned a balanced Apparition 5.8. Although not a "bad" cable I thought it was over-rated, at least in my system. There are many other better digital cables out there. I'm not sure the AQ is the answer either. As usual, you should experiment. Mayb... | |
| CD quality differences I've noticed this difference most on anthology or greatest hits CDs. The earlier stuff sounding harsh and nasty (probably early solid state recordings) while the more recent stuff starts to sound better. Recently heard this on a Roxy Music CD and ... | |
| VD Revelation Speaker cables - During my search for VD (unfortunate abbreviation but at least it's not STD) I e-mailed them about 6 times. Each e-mail was answered by Rick with detailed opinions and explanations. Can't ask for much better communication than that. Yes, the VDs a... | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? I think Nightfly is a very good CD. Probably the best of Donald Fagens three. I think of them as "smooth" or "easy listening" Steely Dan :<). Kamakiriad is very good but doesn't have the memorable and catchy tunes that Nightfly has. Morph The C... | |
| VD Revelation Speaker cables - GNSC=Great Northern Sound Company. They do a lot of mods especially on Wadias but are also a dealer for Virtual Dynamics products. I have dealt with them quite a few times and have always been satisfied so I suggested contacting them with your VD ... | |
| VD Revelation Speaker cables - Snook2,Steve at GNSC is a VD dealer. Shoot him a call, I'm sure you could work something out. | |
| Wadia 7 +9 users, which powerchords are you using? Try the Acrolink 6N PCs with Oyaide terminations from Audio Excellence AZ. I think you'll like them on your Wadias. And while they're not exactly cheap their price is a far cry from "crazy". Although Alan cryros them and burns them in I found they... | |
| DCCA powerchords VS Elrod statement powerchords ? Jayctoy,I purchased a PC from Don which I like very much. However, he was very explicit about no auditioning of his cables. This is just my experience, yours may vary. | |
| DCCA powerchords VS Elrod statement powerchords ? Mr. Tennis,Having recently gone through this, I do not think the DCCA PCs are available for audition. | |
| Digital Cable Choice; how critical is it? Jeffcott,Although the Cyberlight mentioned above is fiberoptic it needs RCA or XLR connections on your transport and DAC. It sends and receives light signals at its terminations. | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Some manufacturers don't want their products reviewed and don't provide samples to reviewers. | |
| Grateful Dead Remasters? Relative to the older CDs the remasters replace a murky presentaion with real bass, more clarity and some air. In this case remastering has accomplished a huge improvement. Kudos to Rhino for doing justice to some fine music. Long live the Dead!I ... | |
| Grateful Dead Remasters? Stilljd,These remasters should be available just about any place you buy CDs. They have been available since 2003 and are put out by Rhino. I started this thread because I have older versions than the Rhinos. I have ordered the newer versions on t... | |
| Grateful Dead Remasters? Been a fan of the Dead from the beginning. Maybe time to update my CDs. Thanks everyone for your input. | |
| $20 tweak to tame that digital shrillness I know very little about this subject. If the process "smooths" out the top (which I agree many CDs need) how does it happen? Or, what is the mechanism behind the change? |
