| Aside form the Human voice... I think it's down to the musician, not the instrument.Most wind instruments can't be polyphonic, and most stringed instruments (and I'm including piano) can't be anywhere near as expressive on simple music as a wind instrument. | |
| Highend Players and Skipping CDs That can be one cause. Another is if the mechanism that positions the laser and reader gets sticky (aging grease) and does not move the assembly smoothly. Either way I think it's a good time to contact the manufacturer to enquire about a checkup a... | |

| Highend Players and Skipping CDs It could be the laser is on its way out. If it gradually gets worse and worse you're probably looking at a new transport.The good news is that many highend players use very inexpensive transports, so replacing it really should not run more than $1... | |
| "Dirty" Volume on Carver Amp Go to radio shack and get some potentiometer cleaner /lubricant spray. Open the amp (turned off of course) and spray the smallest amount you can into any opening in the potentiometer case while twisting it back and forth. That should fix it for yo... | |
| Setting up Rega RB300 I got a mirrored protractor from turntable basics.http://www.turntablebasics.com/align.htmlWorks for me. A great tip I got from another forum is to tape a sewing needle to the side of the cartridge (provided it's parallel to the cantilever) and th... | |
| looking for a good bookshelf moniter If you could stretch to $500 then look for used Green Mountain Audio Europas. I don't think you'll find a better speaker for under $1000, and I wouldn't be surprised if they left the Kef speakers for dead.Plus they beat the Spica TC-50s in imaging... | |
| looking for a good bookshelf moniter Jaybo, I'm sorry but that's a useless answer. The spicas are great, but they are very limited. They have limited HF response (nothing above 15 kHz), very limited dynamics and SPL handling, and do not image unless placed very carefully, well away f... | |
| looking for a good bookshelf moniter According to your system page you already own Kef Cresta 2s, which cost you $250.In my opinion spending $300 for an upgrade will not be worthwhile. Every time you trade gear you lose money, so it makes sense to make bigger steps up the hifi ladder... | |
| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? If the "duplicate" feature works on data disks AND music CDs then it must be a bit-for-bit copy.If it only works on music CDs it might not be a bit for bit copy. | |
| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? To all those who say that a PC may not perfectly copy a CD I say this:TREAT IT AS A DATA CD.On Nero there is an option to make a duplicate of the original CD. This works no matter what is on the original CD, music or data. It is simply a bit for b... | |
| Any good cdp with digital inputs Why not get a reliable inexpensive transport and a reclocking DAC with multiple inputs. I'm thinking something like a basic Marantz CD5001 player with a Lavry DAC. | |

| Today's Transport War: Significant Differences? "The main difference of the Flash memory would be avoiding a spinning mechanical device and the problems inherent to these..."I bet FLASH players and hard-drive players (and some CD-ROM based players, like meridian) actually play back via RAM, sin... | |
| do burnt CD copys sound as good as originals? Drubin, is there any chance that your panasonic dual tray CDR actually copies via the DAC and ADC rather than making a bit perfect copy ? This would certainly explain degradation. It would be a ridiculous design, but we are talking consumer electr... |
