| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @bjesien The C7 brings me very close to that liveliness and detail without crossing over the edge. Good to know! | |
| Six DAC Comparison "...a true gift. . ." , indeed -- if only professional reviewers were as comprehensive! I'm afraid you will now be inundated with requests to review an endless list of other DACs. | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @tjraubacher Based on what I am hearing the Hegel is a great match. So smoooooth and rich sounding. Maybe I'd like the Pulsars, after all. You are using the Hegel's internal DAC? | |
| Do Harbeth speakers really need a 4000 damping factor? @ahal1 You are aware that Harbeth shows with Hegel, right? I very much doubt they would choose to do so unless they perceived a significant sonic benefit. Whether Harbeths require high damping factor amplification I can’t say. I can say that w... | |
| New In 2024 @jafant RE: "For Everyman" I found the previous remaster harsh, ended up seeking out the original CD. I think I’ll wait awhile on this new one, see if anything comes up on S. Hoffman Forum re: comparative sonics, before I buy it. One of the th... | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 Thanks for your further comments. Only you can make that decision for you Yes; of course. I wasn't asking for buying advice, if that's how it seemed. Other times, it occurs when the entire system reaches an equilibrium where all th... | |
| New In 2024 Jackson Browne: "For Everyman" New remastering. To be released 10/04 | |
| Six DAC Comparison @mitch2 You describe the difference between the less costly and more costly dacs in terms of a "bit" of this, a "bit" of that. I’m wondering how good a system must be to reveal these small differences. We are talking about the law of diminishi... | |
| CEC Belt Drive CD Transports vs Jay's Audio CD Transports @no_regrets Pay no attention to @classicrockfan re: the Jay’s. Do pay attention to reviews and comments by those who actually use it. | |
| Kris Kristofferson He managed to utilize extremely poetic language to describe painful/gritty circumstances -- not easy to do! ... I meant, it's not easy to do well. It's extremely easy to do badly! Another version of the same song: https://www.youtube.com/... | |
| Kris Kristofferson I’ve always loved his masterful use of imagery. He managed to utilize extremely poetic language to describe painful/gritty circumstances -- not easy to do! One of his classics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCgnbRWVvU8 | |
| Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ? @tjraubacher Congratulations -- I hope they're everything you're hoping for and more ! I'll be very interested to hear what you have to report about their tonality. | |
| Otis Gibbs elicites a great interview with Ray Benson of Asleep At The Wheel! @bdp24 I’ve yet to read/watch any interview or biographical piece with/about the Dead that is consistent with this view that the Dead "copied" The Band. Garcia was playing Bluegrass banjo before he even picked up a guitar or contemplated playing... | |
| Happy listening in SoCal Be thankful your provider isn't PG$E ! | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 "Sweet" indeed! This one is going right to the top of my short list of CD’s to buy. Thanks! Here’s my attempt to repay the favor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZUF3U7bDSI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxEs-dcc8yk&list=RD... |
