| What song best sums up the previous year? Wow, a lot of negative miserable people out there. I had a rough year personally, but I will elaborate on "It's the end of the world as we know it" and say "but I feel fine" -It was another year that I was alive and have the freedom and funds to e... | |
| Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners I like Blue also. I always thought of her as the writer for pop songs that others end up making into hits. So it suprised me when she had such a good voice. Maybe a little peircing on this particular CD (the version I have anyway), but very enjoya... | |
| Cary 306/200 CD Player vs VPI Scout Sorry about the repost. I just wanted to say the K1000 headphones are the best investment I've made on that end. They are so amazing I'm actually thinking of buying another pair because they are discontinued. There is nothing out there like it for... | |
| Cary 306/200 CD Player vs VPI Scout It is an apples to oranges comparison. The VPI is a bargain at it's price and will give you quality vinyl sound which should rise above and CD, SACD close to it's price range if you like the organic sound of vinyl. | |
| Best $500 cartridge? Dynavector DV-20XH? IMHO you won't find a better cart. than Dyna until you get over about $1k, other opinions may vary. | |
| Whither Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? The Absolute Sound also raved about SACD/DVD-A being the next big thing and tried to help promote it early on as well. So, is Blu-ray or HD for home theater only or does it have anything to do with music and making music sound better? How many yea... | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? Grakesh, Were the speakers broken in? set up properly, rear ambiance turned to the proper level, etc? Either you have some strange taste or something was wrong with the set up. No offense if you just don't like the sound, smooth, fast, and transpa... | |
| Whither Blu-Ray and HD-DVD? If SACD and DVD-A haven't taken over for redbook, why would either of these formats? | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D2 vs Sumiko Blackbird I agree with Dlwask. I think the Karat has characteristics (especially it's fast resonse) of state of the art cartridges. Obviously it falls short in other areas, but for the price you really get much more. I chose it over the Blackbird as well on... | |
| Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend It is what you think it is. Who cares what we think. Enjoy it. | |
| Tube Playback for Apple iPod... When did ipods become hi end equipment. Oh since Stereophile and absolute sound were payed to push them and say great things. The ipod is not a hi end source to me - sooo why get tube anything for them. | |
| SACD - Dying already? Eldartford, Actually Vynil is the next step for Sony after Blue ray fails - it will be there next big thing. I guess I got my y and i mixed up.LONG LIVE SACD and DVD-A. | |
| Spendor vs. Von Schweikert? It's up to you, but I have the VR4jr and would not consider another speaker until I can afford the DB99s. In other words, I've heard most of the speakers that are in the price range and nothing compared to the VS. Do a search for reviews. Pretty m... | |
| Rank Stereophile, & why no Von Schweikert reviews One mag that is actually useful is HiFi. They seem to be very objective no matter what they review. | |
| Speaker preference Dali, Audio Physic, Von Swiekrt I would seriously check into the VS DB99's as well. It's an pair of speakers and can be driven by low powered tubes. VS is my favorite designer. He seems to get everything right and doesn't over charge like Wilso... oh I don't want to put anyone d... |
