| Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder Tie me kangaroo down, sport. | |
| Which amps for Monitor Audio Gold Reference 60's? I've heard an Anthem MCA-50 with Monitor Audio GR-60's. It sounded good. The GR-60's will sound good with a lot of different amps, but they will really respond to high quality amplification. They are pretty efficient so a low powered amp can power... | |
| i.LINK connection really makes HT sound better ??? i-link allows you to feed SACD and DVD-A out of the player in digital, bypassing the DAC's in the player -- so you can use better quality DAC's in your pre-amp or receiver. Without i-link, you have to use the DAC in the player and take the SACD or... | |
| DVI output of a cheap DVD player always same ?? I believe the two would be differentiated by the quality of their de-interlacer, possibly the scaler, and how well they serve as a transport. But, don't quote me on that. | |
| What artist piqued your interest? Thelonious Monk. His combination of swing and invention is incredible.Started with SACD, "Straight, No Chaser" and I was hooked. Now, I'm filling in my Monk collection. Another recent discovery is Shostakovich, both his symphonies and string quart... | |
| Bigger is Better... The problem with LCD is that it looks good from the sweet spot, but when you move off-axis, left or right, you get that tropical fish, florescent thing happening -- and LCD also has a problem with "blacks" which becomes exascerbated when you move ... | |
| Bigger is Better... I think you'll be much happier with a 42" plasma than with a 32" LCD. For a 42" Plasma, the contenders are going to be Panasonic, Fujitsu, Pioneer, andSony. Each of these displays has a slightly different look. You'll want to go out and have a loo... | |
| USB DA recommendation needed The M-Audio USB Audiophile sounds pretty good, but a little on the "dark"side. I'm not satisfied -- I'm looking for better options. I think a good solution might be to use something like the M-Audio USB Audiophile to take the digital feed from the... | |
| Are You Happy With 2 Channel SACD? I think part of the problem is that it takes awhile for the SACD player to break in, but a lot of the time, when people buy a CD/SACD player, they don't have any SACD's to play, so they buy one or two, A/B the SACD layer against the CD track, have... | |
| How long for IC cables and Power Cords to break in "Dielectric distortions?" Has anyone ever been able to measure this "distortion?" Why not? "Curing" the dielectric? Any evidence that either the wire or the dielectric go through any changes whatsoever? | |
| How long for IC cables and Power Cords to break in "If you were driving your car in outter space at the speed of light and you turned your headlights on, would they do anything?" -- Steven Wright | |
| Speakers to consider in the $2200 range Another I'd recommend; Silverline Sonatas or Sonata II's. | |
| How long for IC cables and Power Cords to break in 90% of the speed of light -- that's how long it takes for the first signal to go through your cable. | |
| Speakers to consider in the $2200 range Here's another vote for Sonus Faber. You could also take a look at Monitor Audio GR-60's. |
