| An observation about "Modern" classical music. Eldartford, It's because you don't understand the peas ;) Lousyreed1, Youre right I was really referring to dissonance when talking about Beethoven and Bach since they both centered around a tonal home key. Dont we all like to go home at the end... | |
| Meridian, Audio Aero, modded Denon 3910, or...? The modded Denon universal (tubed output) are some of the best "warm" sounding CD players out there if you like that kind of sound. | |
| Dynavector/ Thorens compatibility No mistake. Worst case you'll need to get a lighter counterweight. For my Dynavector MkII (karat) to work with my JMW9 tonearm, I had to buy the heavier counter weight or was it lighter? No big deal though. | |
| Amps to use with Von Schweikert VR4jr's Also works good with a budget integrated ASL AQ1001DT. 50wpc. | |
| Another sign SACD is dying My point was that records are still being used widely by audiophiles but you won't find them at Curcuit City or Best Buy. So, because they may not carry something anymore doesn't mean that it won't exist in the audiophile market anymore. So, a sal... | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. I agree with eldartford. No offense to those that like that style, but like "modern art" it is lost on me and will stay lost. It's not music to me. I'm not into sound effects. - I've listed one of the works above - you know what music I mean. The ... | |
| any feedback on the grace 901/902 dac ? if you like smooth vynil like quality, the electo should be good. Is the Grace 901 also a headphone amp? | |
| I'm New To Vinyl - Which Turntable Should I Buy? Get a VPI Scout. That will include tonearm and have money left over for cart. | |
| Another sign SACD is dying circuit city doesn't have a clue about audiophiles. I'm sure they would have said that records have gone by the waste side years ago. I guess we feed off of the waste side. | |
| An observation about "Modern" classical music. John, I have listened to Speigal and agree with you. I think I like the minimalist movements the best. Thanks for the Vasks recommendation. I'll check it out. I have to say though that I was unimpressed with Crumb - he might do well in a Hollywood... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4JR & Tube Amp??? Good information blindjim. I agree with all of it. I actually bought the program CARA and read books about room treatment, but I feel like I don't know much more than I did. However, I am happy with placement and treatment. I used compressed fiber... | |
| Rookie here, SACD's sound "muffled". Normal? not normal. should have good highs - as plinko said the highs sometime seem more intense than redbook. | |
| Best int. amp for AKG K1000's-Cary, Manley, Creek? I use mine with an ASL AQ1001DT in triode mode (30wpc in triode). Very lush (tube dependent obviously) and have no desire to try anything else out. (did try it with solid state and wasn't happy). So can't say I've compared it with much, but these ... | |
| Recommended Hi end dealer In San Jose California Jeff @ audible arts is a dream come true. I had trouble trusting dealers prior to him but he gets all kinds of products in to try and picks the ones he likes. He is a big VS guy, a tube guy (but not limited to), and every ti... | |
| Upgrade Question for CDP Tdacash, How long has the Cary been buring in. It usually takes a long time. Unless there is a problem there should be a significant difference. There is no need to get a DAC - since the Cary's DAC is very good. Don't panic just let it burn in. th... |
