| Audiopoints Discs or Sound Anchors Conecoasters? Thanks guys. Warrenh, I had guessed that the Audiopoints discs were going to do a better job of coupling the speakers to the floor. I was just curious to see if anyone had made a direct comparison between the two products to figure out how much of... | |
| New Jazz Releases..What Do You Like? "4 Generations of Miles" -- a Chesky high-resolution CD featuring the songs of Miles Davis performed by his former sidemen Jimmy Cobb, Ron Carter, George Coleman, and Mike Stern. Great songs & great sound. | |
| Unheralded Sideman Waddy Wachtel may be the quintessential sideman. He is an LA guitarist who played with Jackson Browne, Stevie Nicks, Melissa Etheridge and too many others to count. Think of the guitar on Stevie's "Edge of Seventeen" -- that's him.Mike Campbell is... | |
| Can I use the B&W CDM9NT in this small room? One other issue is driver coherence. It takes a reasonable amount of distance for the sound of the different driver units in the 9NT to blend well. If your friend plans to sit less than 8 feet away from the speakers, he might not be as happy with ... | |
| What do your kids see? I like your approach, Albert. And I would bet that you were happy to have the help with the Soundlabs . . . | |
| What do your kids see? Two very good points, Nrchy. I've caught myself jumping up as soon as my son toddles too close to the floorstanders. Mainly because they're heavy, but also because I don't want them knocked over. I'm sure there will be some accidents (hopefully mi... | |
| Wayne Shorter Quartet -- a show worth seeing Thanks, Jla, sounds like I have some catching up to do. I appreciate the recommendations.Joebone -- I wasn't implying that Patitucci carried the show, he was simply the member of the band that I was the least familiar with and I was curious to lea... | |
| Wayne Shorter Quartet -- a show worth seeing Jla, I have to confess that I was not very familiar with Pattitucci before going to the show -- do you have any recommendations for albums on which he's played? | |
| MIT Love 'em or Hate 'em Unclekrusty, while we're on the subject of cables that take a more "active" approach, is it safe to assume you are also skeptical about "active shielding" a la Synergistic? I've never been sure whether to believe the physics claimed for that appro... | |
| Audiogon/Asylum and magazine reviewers posts Trelja and Zaikesman: Your very well-written and very well-considered posts prove Mr. Rubinson's point -- he is not needed here. I don't necessarily understand why Mr. Rubinson prefers to spend his time "shooting from the hip" on the Asylum (which... | |
| Best Jazz Vocalists - Standard Songs Try Sarah Vaughan, Dee Dee Bridgewater (Live at Yoshi's is great), and Mary Stallings (Live at the Village Vanguard). | |
| how many have a WAF? In some ways marriage is like audio -- synergy is worth waiting for. I know, because I have been lucky enough to find it. My wife and I will have been married for eight years next month, and it continues to get better each day. Yes, once you get p... | |
| Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player? The ultimate irony -- multichannel playback of DVD-A is actually confirmed in the article I mentioned. Guess I should have read more closely. Happy listening! | |
| Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player? Sorry guys, my last post may be in error on the multichannel DVD-Audio sound issue. Although that's the information I was given at the shop, the manual available on-line certainly suggests that the DV-47a does have multichannel capability for DVD-... | |
| Best new 5 ch.SACD/ DVD-A/ DVD/ CD player? Although the DV-47A has multichannel SACD output, it does not have multichannel DVD-Audio. The DVD-Audio output is stereo only. Still, it's about the only thing going that can handle both formats at its price point. There's a short review at the S... |
