| Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list Lazarus- I bet the multi sounds great. I'm only running two channel. That is a good point tho, if the multi channel sacd will give the same high quality in two channel audio. I noticed on my Elton John Goodbye Yellow brick road (hybrid)playing two... | |
| Audiogon "SACD's TO DIE FOR" list I'll second (or third) Krall's 'girl in the other room'. Gorgeous recording, and such a lovely step for her. I have really liked Ella and Louis, and Jorma Kaukonen 'Blue Country Heart'. I have other formats of P Floyd's DSOTM and the sacd I do not... | |
| Pink Floyd DSOTM in various versions Thanks for the cool link.I'm happy to hear there are others that have found the vinyl versions spanking the cd versions. I'm feeling a little retro grouchy lately, who'da thought I'd be looking at my system with tubes and vinyl and feel it a step ... | |
| Poaching vinyl in thrift shops Classical does seem easier to come by. There are literally tons of it moldering about. The occasional gold nugget found is worth the search. I found my criteria for vinyl inspection have gone a long way to greater the odds on the 'good find'. In f... | |
| How low can one hear Huh?? Say again Fooling around with a test disc I found (in watching the speaker cone move)a large dropout in my own hearing at about 20-25hz. I know it's there, but at that point it is out of my ears and into my belly.Upper end I'm getting worse, it goes OK to a... | |
| Low level res more inherent in tubes? Thanks all for your kind words-I've been involved as a beer judge for twenty years and know the associated lingo. I would love to find an audiophile glossary that could enhance my ability to convey what I am hearing- rather than using the beer jud... | |
| Low level res more inherent in tubes? Twl,I'd love to hear a bit more on this. I am under the impression the Dynaudio I am using tends to be 'power hungry'. This I used to agree with because I would have to crank the sunsaguns up to get decent sound. 'High current' everybody says-'tha... | |
| Cayin vs. Antique Sound Labs I'm curious if your Cayin has the mods that Paul has worked out. He has made the unit so user friendly with his bias taps and focus control. I would wonder if the bias is correct on your unit. I will chime in and say that my modded Cayin has great... | |
| How Loud Do You Listen??? Do You Know????????? Ouch. I don't know how you guys do it. I'm listening to some Mancini at a comfortable c weighted 60-65 db right now, and don't feel the need to go louder... | |
| A great Thrift Store find... These are the Q2's. I guess I eyeballed the driver wrong. I will say this 12" is a lot faster than the 12" in the Infinity. The difference is remarkable. | |
| My, My...what a nice sound this amp has ... t-binc,Wow! No sh**! Fancy meeting you here!Yes, they did have green grillecloth. Flourecent. Dad (Tim) painted those and we set them up with a blacklight. Pretty wild. Did you come to our house on Queen Anne Hill in Seattle to pick them up? If yo... | |
| Which is better, Jolida or Cayin? I've had the modded ta-30 for about six months and so far have had good luck with it. I have really enjoyed the soundstage and presence the unit creates. Something else about the amp is that the pleasure of lower volume listening is enhanced. For ... | |
| Best excuse for playing loud music? heheh, that's a good one 'I'm recording' hehehAnother good one is "I can't hear you, the music's too loud"The better sound I have heard is the 'low volume with everything there' type. Tho sometimes there is no substitute for cubic inches ;-) | |
