| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? Jadis DA 88 ? I have owned a truckload of amps, the Jadis DA 88 being one of them. Kept it all of 3 weeks, unfortunately it was one of my worst price versus quality unit purchase. Ok sound but not great. You would think that given the asking price... | |
| Why aren't ALL remotes like Playstation PS3 ? Chadnliz your comment ''...a PS3, its a toy'' Sorry, but you sound like a typical old-school audiosnob.About the PS3, they also used to say that about the ipod also until Wadia thought otherwise. Now, maybe you think the ipod is also a toy?The PS3... | |
| Best System for Pink Floyd Best listening sessions EVER of this legendary recording? Get the very best headphones and amplification you can afford. The genius of this music is in the mix and little bits and bytes of sprinkled detail all over the recording. Try it with cans ... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett I know this is completely in a different direction - but watching Jarret play ( and he IS good), man, do I miss the late great Oscar Peterson. Untouchable. | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? Orpheus10. What is a ''genuine'' audiophile according to you? | |
| Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ? Frazeur1: As I have been (like many others) in this hobby for probably far too long, I of course know about the ''listen-with-you-own-ears-and-decide'' strategy.This upcoming amp is for a second system, but I still want a minimum of quality. Your ... | |
| Black-Eyed-Peas, the future of modern music? Its well-made music, and well-performed too.Just like Hank Williams, or Queen, or Duke Ellington.The TYPE of music is very subjective of course, but usually, in every fashion of music, there's well-done music, and there are wannabe-pros.I don't th... | |
| Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ? One thing about the Cambridge 840A series integrated is that awfull ratchet clicking sound when using the volume control. Went to a dealer for a demo, just could not get my approval. | |
| Anthem 225 integrated: Anyone knows anything ? Thanks, I knew about that review. its one of only two out there... | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett Phaelon"not unlike Kenny G. Highly subjective of course."Subjective or not, that's a lousy thing to say! Take it back!PhaelonWhy should I take it back?1. Comparing anyone to Kenny G. is no insult.2. You seem to be a Kenny G fan, nothing wrong with... | |
| Are tone controls worth a second look ? Great post Trelja.That is EXACTLY the point of this thread.When you think of it, with all the settings that are possible between the proverbial bass-treble settings, you probably have 50 different types of interconnect, 20 different speaker cables... | |
| Best SACD's Mighty Sam McClain ''Give it up to Love'' on XRCD, NOT SACD. Incredible sonics on this classic recording. | |
| Share thoughts on Keith Jarrett I noticed similar situation of ''who is he - not that great'' when the magnificent Oscar Peterson passed away, a true original who walked on much higher ground imho.Peterson is of course a different style, but one many tried to copy with no succes... | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? ''Wilson is struggling?''My analogy had more to do with image than whether Wilson is struggling or not (a few high-end manufacturers are having a hard time and have lowered their prices).Cadillac is trying to lure new-younger customers to replaces... | |
| Wilson Audio's New Sound? I think it is a question of a subjective matching between your personnal taste and the Wilson speakers you heard, and that's just fine, you have found the Holy Grail.I have never been able to find their sound appealing to me (but that's only me). ... |
