| Upgrade for Cary 306? HI George,I realize I' a little bit late with this but I'm using an Cary 306/200.Russell | |
| What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why? Agree with Stringreen. Have you ever seen anyone list an ad for someone selling a Vandersteen Model 7? Must be a lot of happy owners... | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Just curious if anyone tried upgrading the interconnects that came with the unit to something more robust (for lack of a better term) and what were the results. Heavy interconnects obviously won't work due to the size / weight of the unit. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Gslone: how does the 1738 compare with other cognacs at that price point? The best I've found to date is Pierre Fernand Reserve ($55 - $65). The Delamain Pale and Dry is the next step up but trying to find it for less than $100 is challenging and ... | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Mattmiller: all I can say is "Lighten up Francis" ;) | |
| Audioengine B1 Bluetooth - Really Surprised Bcgator, I smiled when I read your review. I've had it for about 5 or 6 months now and been using it to stream Pandora and have been impressed with the results. The next step is to try it with some high resolution files. Stay tuned. | |
| Any alternatives to Astell & Kern DAP's? I'm leaning towards a fiio x5 which supposedly supports24 bit /192. It can be had for about $300 new or $250 used.....stay tuned. | |
| Redbook CD Is Not Dead I really like the quality of HDCD but has anyone noticed that the title releases are geared towards Baby Boomers? If they're like me (with failing hearing), don't you think from a marketing strategy it would make sense to introduce more current mu... | |
| Hot Tuna "S/T" Fjn04, Too Hot To Handle is better than any so called audiophile record I have and Jorma's playing is nothing less than phenomenal. I also agree that blue country heart is also superbly recorded. I'd like to pick up something more recent but hones... | |
| Anti-cable purchase $500 for two meters. | |
| Why does Spectral have such a cult following I think part of the mystique has to do with the fact that certain models could only be used with MIT cables. I don't agree with the early comments in this thread about the sonic characteristics. Some of the best sound I have ever heard was with Sp... | |
| Miss ya Jerry Garcia - it hasn't been the same Here is one Dead fan that likes the music but never understood the cult like obsession with things "Grateful" . I remember going to a concert in DC in '77 (Lisner Auditorium,,I think) and hoping to hear classics like St. Stephen or Uncle John's Ba... | |
| Upcomming Montreal Jazz Fest. Mont Royal should be on everyone's list of things to do. The park is very pleasant and the summit affords great views of the City. There are terrific open air markets also if you enjoy that sort of thing. Premier Moisson is a great bakery (with 22... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Sheila Jordan paired with Steve Kuhn on the early ECM releases. | |
| Older Cary 306/200 vrs a recent used Cary CD500? Not familiar with the CD500 but I own the 306/200 and I've been happy with my choice over the years. The HDCD decoding is an added benefit. I have no problem with the remote. In fact, I hate plastic remotes. What I would like to know is has anyone... |
