| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference There's the rub: Recording/pressing quality varys widely(whatever the format). Redbook has limitations, independent of that though. XRCD and HDCD both go a long way, to making Digital more listenable. Though many improvements have been made in the... | |

| CD's vs Vinyl - Finally hear the difference Best way to enjoy digital; Don't listen to analog. | |
| Soundstage depth and width The recording chain/venue/pedigree all sound superb. I'd be very interested in hearing the results of all that preparation and care, after subjected to 16/44 digital processing. I'll be seaching for the disc. Thanks for the tip! | |

| 45rpm pressing of Fleetwood Mac Rumours If you REALLY want to hear the Fleetwood Mac Rumours album, at it's BEST; find a copy of the Nautilus SuperDisc pressing. It's a shame that early 1980's technology sounds so much better than what's available today, and that Nautilus is not still i... | |
| IC's amp-preamp & cd-preamp using Maggies? Work your way up the Synergistic Research, or Kimber lineup. I've got some of each(Synergistic's Analog Tricon, Tesla Apex, and various PCs/Kimber's KS-1130s and KS-1030s) in my bi-amped(Maggie mains) system. My goals have always been the same as ... | |
| Soundstage depth and width Mr M- IF you are interested in educating yourself; you might CAREFULLY study this article: (http://www.deltamedia.com/resource/stereo_microphone_techniques.html) Proper microphone technics CAN & WILL capture hall ambience and sound stage info.... | |
| Power Cords Snake Oil ?? He has, by now, learned it ALL and has become the Audio Pope(imagine that). | |
| In the red; insufficient power I was going to ask where you live, but- my guess would be the same as Has2be's. | |
| Power On First/Off Last Device? "As Americans, WE'RE too lazy?" Speak for yourself. | |
