| Best symphony recordings I think you will find that one of the best performances of the Beethoven 5th ever is the Vienna Philharmonic, conducted by Carlos Kleiber on Deutsche Grammophon. It is sonically about average with most CDs, but the performance is overwhelming and ... | |

| which is better 1.bit 256 sampling 0r 24/96 I am not a techie, however, the 256 I believe is referring to the digital filter for the bitstream DAC (oversampling), not the sampling rate (Mhz) of the DAC chip. The 1 bit dac (bitstream) probably samples at the redbook standard of 44.1 Mhz. The... | |
| What's the best 5 disc cd player for under 1,000? I vote for using a $79 Aiwa XC-37M CD Changer (see ebay) as a transport, and spending the remaining money on a DAC that has a toslink input.If you don't mind waiting, see old threads on what Stan Warren will do to the Aiwa and a MSB Link DAC. | |
| Whats the deal with CD players? I have to agree that the cables are the most likely candidate. That includes to a lesser degree the speaker cables as well. What H/K separates do you have? Even the cable between the preamp and amp will have an effect.Digital components also tend ... | |
| Steely Dan "2 Against Nature" DVD-A passcode? I am not familiar with this disc, but is this DVD-ROM information you are talking about??If so, then you need a DVD-ROM drive on your computer to view it, and for some information you may need to be connected to the web. | |
| Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound? REL has two lines of subs. The ST subs (Stratus, Storm, Stadium, Stentor, Studio) were designed with the Audiophile in mind. They also do a fine job for movies, if pure bass is your goal. The other line is the Q subs (Q100E, Q150E, Q201E, etc.) Th... | |
| Best $300 Speaker Used I have B&W DM302s all around. They are bookshelf/stand mount speakers. They are only +/-$175 per pair used and will outperform most low-cost speakers. They have a soft dome tweeter, so they will make Sean happy. Very efficient/sensitive also (... | |
| Does using a powered subwoofer make better sound? The REL is the best in my opinion if your goal is to fill in the bottom without affecting what your main speaker do. Get at least the Storm III. It is worth the extra $500 over the Stratus III. The Stratus III is also very fine it you can't afford... | |
| cornfedboy, signing off Will miss you Kelly! If possible, why not take part in your official capacity? I can understand your situation. As a C.P.A. I sometimes get caught in the middle of financial matters involving muliple parties that I know from wearing various hats; ... | |
| What is the future of amp technolgy? I am really not sure anyone is trying to make solid state sound like tubes, (except for the guys at Conrad Johnson). The goal should be to make it sound real.What is new are people like Gilbert Yeung at Blue Circle, who are taking a fresh approach... | |
| Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads? Something very negative might have happened we don't know about. They talk about better "safety" in their notice if they bring it back. | |
| Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads? They have worked for me also. That even includes new. I was looking for some cables a while back and a dealer offered me some new ones at a large discount.It can also be like Priceline.com.. Set your own price. I got a CD player for a friend by li... | |
| Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN? To make it fair to everyone, we would have to ban every type of ad that people object to..... Woops, I guess there will be no ads. |
