| This sucks Pawlowski6132, I understand much better now. Money is a good reason to back off. Good decision. Also, a small square room like your size led me to a 2 year doctorate (not really) in acoustic treatment and I realized how tough it was to get the jr'... | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? SACD will go on with the "audiophile" labels and some others. It won't replace CD - mp3 will replace CD. It's already doing so quickly. Just like the newer LPs coming out with new material and remastered old material, SACD will follow suit. And ev... | |
| This sucks why would you give up VR4jr speakers????? I agree - headphone systems have their benefits, but nothing compares to lifesized soundstage in front of you (as apposed to miniature in your headstage). I enjoy headphones very much, but I have my rig fo... | |
| VPI Scout w/ JMW-9 vs Aries w/ JMW-10 Agree with last couple of posts. The Aries is a step up from the scoutmaster. The original scout is a very good value. The scoutmaster is not the best at it's pricepoint IMHO. The Aries is excellent at it's price. I have the original Scout and it ... | |
| Your pick of CD player.... I think most of the players mentioned above will beat the Jolida in detail, but going from a tubed player (Jolida got the tube sound right) to a SS cause you to lose that addicting quality but give more detail and blah blah blah. The Cary 308T wil... | |
| Best redbook player for under $1000 Foster9, I agree the Jolida is smooth, musical, and addicting to the point that it is hard to turn off, but detailed it is not. Maybe mods change that, but my Rotel 1070 had a lot more detail at a lower price. | |
| Mint Condition, Doesn't Anyone Know What It Means Mint just means no flaws. Don't read too much into it. No flaws and no technical problems is all that matters. I wouldn't get too anal about it. | |
| Cary 306 SACD Advent1, Wouldn't it depend on whether you want SACD or not? | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Mstic2000, Good for you. It's nice to see some example of fruition.I tend to enjoy what I have. I'm fortunate to not want to spend time comparing equipment. I do. But I'd rather have everything set to go broken in, so I can just listen. That keeps... | |
| Input on Cary CDP I own the Cary 308T and love it. It's detailed yet has the smooth tube sound. I actually prefer it to the more detailed 303/200 which most people don't. I'm a vinyl guy too, so that's why I lean towards the 308T. I now use a Sony XA777ES (modded) ... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Sounds like the real deal. I'll still wait for the dust and some extra hype "as good as master tapes" (lol) to settle.So is it LP's, RealityCheck, SACD-DVD-A, redbook now just like that? Or is he boosting freq. etc to "help" the sound out? I mean ... | |
| Rush fans on the board ?? Definately "All The World's a Stage" | |
| My girlfriend is pissed It's much easier being and audiophile when your single. But if she's someone that you want to stay with - you gotta sacrifice. You don't know what you got till it's gone. In the end, audio is just metal and plastic... and some exotic material. | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used I just may have to bump up to the e4 and get a portable amp. The e3 is ok, but I wouldn't have any doubts about your comments that the e4 is a big step up especially with an amp. There is something about having hi end on the go that really makes t... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Sounds interesting. I'll wait till the dust settles, but it did mention that you hear more tape hiss. From reading about it, it seems like you get better sonics along with the more flaws from the original recording. If people were complaining abou... |
