| Records are better. I actually heard it I'd say that I listen to music and not listen to my system. I'll buy a 1955 recording released on CD. If I later find the LP great. But I won't deny myself the enjoyment of listening to that performance, when it could take me years to locate an LP... | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it Of course I know they still make LP's, TWL; but what about the 200+ CD's I have that came out since 1989 that they don't have LP's for; that would have been on LP if that was still the standard format? I still remember the day BMG forced me to swi... | |
| Blue Circle amp with TSM If you get the BC22 also pick up the BC95 interconnects to connect the amp to the BC21. They all go together wonderfully. | |
| Records are better. I actually heard it Of course LP's are better, but I need both because the world did not end in 1989 when they stopped making LP's.Just make sure the alignment of the cartridge is proper, and check your tracking force.Since LP's actually have something physical going... | |

| What makes certain cd players better than others? Some high end CD players like the tube based BAT VK-D5SE uses four PCM-63K (two per channel). So based on Jeff's quote, BAT spent $240 just for the DAC chips. | |
| What makes certain cd players better than others? What separates the best from the rest is the quality of the analog and output sections. This is where the sound happens. Upgrading and modifying the analog and output sections of a CD player is mainly what Stan Warren, Dan Wright, Dusty Vawter, an... | |
| System for a teenager Albert.. Just adding that the AR Complete is pretty much a budget YBA Integre (which lists for $2500). It shares many of the same parts and design elements; it is just made in Asia instead of France.I like to shy away from this terminology, howeve... | |
| System for a teenager Albert, I agree with looking for an integrated amp. How much power does the Vandersteen's need? The Audio Refinement Complete is a nice little 50 watt integrated amp. It is made by YBA. It has a remote control which also controls the selection of ... | |

| Mozart Sym 41:reviews/opinions I also have a live concert recording of the Jupiter Symphony that I enjoy. It is with the Bavarian Radio Symphony, conducted by Rafael Kubelik. The other work in this live concert is also worth a listen. It is the Beethoven Emperor Piano Concerto ... | |

| Favorite Chorals..... If you want something more modern that rocks, then pick up a recording of Orff's Carmina Burana.I sing in a professional choir, so I have many favorites. Too many to list. I can list more, if you tell me more of what you're interested in.We have a... |
