| Compare Between Few Dacs I can't offer comparisons you ask for but I have spent the past three months with my Wadia 121 and it just keeps getting better sounding as it continues to break in. I think it has about 200 hours on it now so I believe it is fully broken in. It i... | |
| Beatles Reissues on VINYL Finally I stopped by my local record shop yesterday to pick up one or two of these reissues. To my disappointment the guy there told me they did not have any copies of Abbey Road because all of the ones they received were defective. Apparently they all ha... | |
| Donald Byrd I love Donald Byrd. I prefer his jazz funk era though, which is heresy to many purist fans. Who cares? Smoke a joint and listen to Blackbyrd with your sweet lady and just let the sweet funkiness wash over your soul. Then you'll understand. Thanks ... | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following Tobes nailed it. They reproduce sound accurately (to my ears anyway). I own a pair of Monitor 30's and have yet to find a speaker I like better at any price. Today I auditioned a pair of B&W 802 Diamonds and left the shop shaking my head as to... | |
| Harbeth Comparison Not sure if you have already made your purchase or not, but I have owned my pair of M30's for a year now, and have never grown out of them. They are so accurate at reproducing sound that they are a joy to listen to, and without the slightest hint ... | |
| Great Music/Bad Vinyl - 2010 Edition Abucktwoeighty,My copy of National Ransom on LP also sounds like ass. Lifeless for certain. | |
| McIntosh MA-6900 Integrated Amp - Your Thoughts? Try a pair of Clear Day Cables double shotgun speaker cables. You can try them for 30 days free so the risk is nil. These cables really opened up the sound of my system and at a relatively small cost. There are many others on these boards who have... | |
| Cambridge Audio 840C player still a good buy ? I own one and like the sound very much. I use it with tube gear, so I do not find it to be cold or analytical. When I had a solid state amp, however, I didn't love it in the same way. As always, it depends on the system. For the money it is a grea... | |
| Tokyo vinyl and audio suggestions Disk Union and Audio Union are chain stores that sell music and high end audio respectively. They are in shinjuku and ochanomizu, as well as many other locations. You can google them to find where. When I lived there they were regular haunts of mi... | |
| Prog Rock Ozric Tentacles is pretty awesome. | |
| MoFi Release Meets Expectations FINALLY "The MoFi Doolittle is fantastic."I must be one of the only ones who thinks that they messed up on Doolittle. My copy sound very boomy in the bass and lacks mid-range detail. Surfer Rosa, on the other hand, is great. | |
| MoFi Release Meets Expectations FINALLY Philb7777, I agree that the newly released Elvis Costello Almost Blue is great. This makes two releases in a row for me that exceed expectations. My favorite Costello album, Imperial Bedroom, is due to be released soon. That will be the real test.... | |
| Wadia 121 I just ordered my 121 yesterday so I will report my findings when it arrives and I have had some time with it. Unfortunately I am told it will take almost a month to arrive as it is back ordered. I am buying locally from my dealer, so I am willing... | |
| Skala or Kleos? I can't offer an opinion in response to your question, but I have been using a Delos for about 5 months now and can't say enough about how good its sounds. Since you have a nicer cartridge than mine, and also a Lyra, I will ask if you use their SP... | |
| Prog Rock Zebulon Pike. They are an all instrumental prog rock metal trio from Minneapolis. Great sound and great music. |
