| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version I have Coincident Statement II pre and 845 Turbo, both are not of golden tube sound, more about accuracy, transparency. I also have custom built 300B monoblocks, none have bass bloat or high freq. rolloff. I'd expect the Coincident 300B would be v... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Can't believe no one's mentioned Soft Machine, Barclay James Harvest or Incredible String Band, all three progenitors of this genre. Barclay James Harvest was coincidently was first or one of first bands signed to Harvest Records, home of many ear... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Many avenues to great network performance, ethernet or optical, just one more variable. And then you have the variable as to how each is implemented. I've chosen optical as my preferred path, but optimization here includes running every FMC off lp... | |
| Best progressive rock album side Speaking of Swedish bands, Flower Kings have some nice tracks and sides. | |
| Beware poor sounding media I will no longer purchase vinyl that is digitally mastered, with an excellent digital system I don't see the point. | |
| Buying from Canada! akg_ca is correct. You may or may not get lucky with customs charges. This is why I've been advised to state items for repair on customs document, in my case this has been true statement. Recently shipped $1k item to Canada via Fedex, recipient di... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Certainly, comparing a single transport to a single streaming solution will bring about many different results. It seems to me, SOTA cd transports today limited to just a few. Streaming solutions are extremely varied, and so many reportedly gettin... | |
| Gregg Allman .......I cannot believe it has been 5 years. Saw Gregg a number of times post AM. always very nice shows. I love nearly all genres and eras of music,its likely majority of music I listen to is from artists no longer with us. I know about the life tragedies of many of these artists, may bring... | |
| Buying from Canada! I ship and receive with Canada quite often. Most of the major shippers act as brokers, therefore, no brokerage fees beyond stated shipping charge. Don't ship via postal services, you or shipper will act as broker, pay separate fees, package may si... | |
| Footers- Break In? Such A Change. Ozzy, I get that, but wouldn't you think there is some optimal amount of compression for these footers. Some footers are offered with different models of same footer, depending on weight of component. Another, are those popular multiple spring fo... | |
| Beware poor sounding media Very rare when a recording is deemed absolutely unlistenable. The usual culprit for lesser recordings is micro dynamic compression, clearly heard as recording dependent, since music with great dynamics is reproduced as if real live flesh and bloo... | |
| Albums you do not get...a plea for help and understanding Very difficult to find any particular artist without a single track I don't like. As for genres, modern country makes me gag, every single song sounds alike. A number of these tunes played in succession gives me bad feeling like I'm being programm... | |
| Footers- Break In? Such A Change. Ok, while I've never heard a footer break in, it could make sense if compression of materials within footer would settle over time. However, based on weight of component footers under, the exact final resting point of these materials would be high... | |
| Ridiculous sale I've long wondered why Decware doesn't increase production capacity. They are reasonably priced so limiting supply to price gouge doesn't seem motive. I can only think he likes small operation to keep family like atmosphere. I've been tempted to p... | |
| Streaming vs Physical Media Yep, ripped better than my last cd transport. Access to so much more music via streaming vs. cd makes streaming a no brainer to me, and I have at least 2500 cd's. Streams Qobuz and Tidal via Roon also pretty much on par with rips, so sound qualit... |
