| Power cords and soundstage The belief that my cheap cabling was just as good soothed the envy of not being able/willing to spend the money on it. Now you are laying down the gauntlet! We are worse than simply misinformed or tin eared but are actually envious "cheapos" who ... | |
| Mark Levinson No.512 CD Player---Opinions Jaybo,Once again I find myself fully agreeing with you - a Lavry DA10 or Benchmark Dac1 can turn most any transport into a player equalling most 3K good quality designs (so can an excellent DSP for that matter). After this I suspect it is as much ... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" This is new and relatively unknown. It is their debut album. Great sound too. | |
| U2 reissues M People?I won't even go there.........This is played live on Bizarre Fruit CD and it is really dynamic If you don't like them then you can at least use it as a demo disc as it is simply a very nice recording. | |
| U2 reissues Bongofury,Thanks for all those suggestions- I missed them until today. I'll do some more buying this weekend ;-)BTW I already have The English Beat and The Specials - Free Nelson Mandela is awesome sounding.I'll suggest another - M People Bizarre ... | |
| Holographic imaging is there any reason why the two may be mutually exclusive - that is, does the most accurate equipment in terms of one mean a lessening of the other? My experience is they are hard to find. Most horns give you dynamics of live music but lose that ... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" ...and then there's Mr. Tom Petty...who made sure that in the recent Mudcrutch release, NO compression was used. Classy guy... For sure compression would sound harsh on Tom Petty's ATC speakers. I find Tom Petty's CDs are often extremely well rec... | |
| Is music quality moving away from the "audiophile" The CD from Rebelution "Courage to Grow" is absolutely outstanding. We are talking audiophile quality and some great grooves - you can really crank it and enjoy. Personally I have dropped bands that have gone the way of ugly compressed sound even ... | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons Jkalman,Thanks for the links. It seems to corroborate my statement that interface jitter is a well known problem when devices are synchronized using a clock signal - or am I missing something? The way I see it, a long run of HDMI cable might behav... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? In typical home audio system peaks are reaching 100W and average power is around 1W - same ratio. Yes - exactly - that was my point - this is barely beginning to compete with the dynamics of real instruments unless you have high efficieny horns a... | |
| Songs about ecology Sam Cooke "I don't know much about ecology etc."The Irish Rovers "The Unicorn"and Great Big Sea "Mermaid"Tower of Power "There is only so much oil in the ground" | |
| Squeezebox upgrade options for $500-600 Have you considered buying a Benchmark DAC1 or Lavry DA10. It will cost you a little more but modifying anything may limit your resale value (should you choose to go another route in a year or two) | |
| Speakers that disappear Or is that a good thing? It is good thing. With nobody to fight over the remote control, you can order a pizza and watch the hockey game in peace with the added bonus of no need for an effort to make meaningful conversation at the dinner table! | |
| HDMI Cable comparisons People who think they are hearing and seeing differences with different types of digital signal cables are suffering from the placebo effect. Don't believe the bologna...There is a well known problem of interface jitter from transmitting the cloc... | |
| paranoid listener-damaging speakers? Jim S.Well I am glad to see my comment helped at least one person.Basically you need to think of your ears/brain as responding to the overall acoustic power in your room. A squashed distorted signal may have a much higher RMS (Root Mean Square) po... |
