| How to find the good CD recordings? @gosta +1 your comments on music.Check out Hey Negrita or Curse of Lono - not necessarily for the recording quality but for the music! | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? Dunlavy don’t play super loud and are preferred by classical listeners not rock. They aren’t fast and punchy but have lovely tone. Dunlavy have a narrow listening sweetspot which is ill suited to your large room. Also, as you are a drummer I think... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? Used ATC 100A but you need to be lucky to find a pair for that price. At least you are in LA so they are easier to find there. | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? I have How the West was Won and the BBC sessions. Everything LZ put out is so great musically. Everything is enjoyable due to the superb playing and chemistry. Of course they ripped off a great deal of music from others but that is not so importan... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat I believe we should hold component manufacturers to a minimum standard that is certainly higher than what is being accepted. I believe that it is NOT right that excessive amounts of tweaks should be necessary. If it is necessary then I really thin... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @fleschler Did your friends with these million dollar systems get it right or are they too finding it necessary to buy multiple E-Mats, special fuses, paste etc? | |
| Perfect Path Technologies: Omega E mat @fleschler You seem to have so many challenges with your setup - slowing and smearing of sound etc. At what point do you call it a day and start replacing the main components that make up your system? After all, six E-Mats, contact paste, Bryston ... | |

Many DACs are slow at switching ... | |

| How to find the good CD recordings? @chemman You have good ears! What Daniel Lanois did on Oh Mercy is absolute magic. I think LZ Deluxe sounds tinny until you crank it! When you crank it you realize it was mastered to be played louder than average. Finally the LZ catalog is highly ... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? @geoffkait Well you can check the Steve Hoffman forums and most folks agree - 2014 remaster are the best digital so far...so the very slightly higher compression is not a factor. I expect tidal is the high resolution version but all digital versio... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? @lowrider57 I play a lot of LZ (drums) with my band. So I really like the more forward drum mix of the 2014 masters. I find a tube preamp helps a lot with the hi-hat too - must be added harmonics as the hi-hat often gets buried in the mix on most ... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? @n80 All you need is a DAC as you no doubt already own a computer. I would expect most people here own one if not several. Take the plunge! You won’t regret it. You can get a Mytek or Benchmark on 30 day return and a trial subscription to Tidal... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? @n80Get a subscription or a trial to Tidal. Tidal have the recent Led Zeppelin “Deluxe” remasters from 2014. This is the best on digital. The drums are much cleaner than anything else. Really exceptional sounding compared to anything else.I love t... | |
