| My Oppo is a bit too bright So here's another question: I'm in negotiations for a Lyngdorf 2170. How does that deck inside compare with the Oppo? Should I run a coaxial cable from the Oppo to the link dwarf and essentially use the Oppo as a transport? | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? @jafant I really liked soundscape. I remember demoing some totems there, although I think I bought them from the listening room later. | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? Maggie 3.6r's back in 2003 at The Listening Room in Baltimore. Had never heard sound as wide and spacious as that. Driven by acoustic research gear. Ended up buying both the Maggies and the ARC. | |
| Integrated Tube Amp Demo @twoleftears +1 on the Pathos line. I'd call Upscale and see what they can do. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I have also been getting into the three blind mice label. Incredibly well produced and sonically gorgeous playback. But more important, great piano trio jazz from Japan. | |
| Synergistic Research PHT- all of 'em! And then some! See my post in one of the other PHT threads, but the combination of the black widow on my head shell and the green dream at the tone arm base near the pivot really, really opened up the music. More so than I really expected it to. | |
| Jazz for aficionados As for afrobeat, yeah that's definitely owned distinct style. It really started to come about in the early '90s with salif keita and Yusef n'dour. Although you could argue that babatunde olatunji was also at the forefront. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Can we stop the ankle biting over musical genre definition? I mean, if it's good music, it's good music, and jazz is a pretty large umbrella. | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright Update:I replaced the Belden 804 cables with Acoustic Zen Silvers and rested the Oppo on four Nobsound Silver/Aluminum spring pods. Result: the sound is more focused, more resonant, more in-depth. Definitely not as bright as before. Streaming Domi... | |
| The cost of LP's and CD's - an observation I distinctly remember new CD's, at their height in the mid-2000s, regularly costing $18.99 or so | |
| Zu audio How would you compare the Zu sound with Spatial audio speakers? | |
| What sends shivers down your spine when you play it on your system? @dweller Totally agree - those chimes are amazing.@schubert Yes, such a beautiful tone poem. Absolutely sublime. | |
| Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here? Ordered the Black/Green combo. Tried both separately with a small but discernable difference. Then put Black Widow on the headshell and the Green Dream on the arm near the pivot point. Much more wide open soundstage. Petty's Wildflowers and the Re... | |
| My Oppo is a bit too bright Question: Checked out the Cocktail line and read up on some of the reviews. But question: What if I have no interest in ripping my cd's? Like, what if I wanted to spend under 2000 on a streamer I could just run Tidal or Quboz through? | |
| What player to stream Amazon HD with? Checked out the Cocktail line and read up on some of the reviews. But question: What if I have no interest in ripping my cd's? |
