| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? Thanks much Marco. All of which means the way to go in terms of sound quality might be the RedWine mod + an outboard amp...Anyone ever tried the Red Wine Audio mod for iPod? | |
| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? Marco, isn't the iPod digital in/out (the recharging and music loading in/out at the bottom of the iPod box) capable of producing a signal output? It does seem to have a USB out so one should be able to run it right into a USB-capable DAC. Thanks ... | |
| Will the ipod be the death of the CD? Marco (Jax2) describes the issue well. I guess I am one of those convinced that CDs will probably but unfortunately be replaced by internet download services. Why unfortunately? I too like bricks & mortar browsing. My real fear is that when th... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tunes spinnin' tonight include...Soundtrack to "Ascenseur pour l'echafaud" (Miles Davis)A Jazz Delegation from the East - Chambers' Musicat my 4 year old son's request..."the man sitting on the bench"Six Pieces of Silver - The Horace Silver Quinte... | |
| The proverbial "giant killer" IME... Tvad, Boa2, and L'wood are right. Buying giants used (especially older giants) gets you more bang for buck than anything else out there. | |
| Preamplifier: Yes or NO ? "yes."In any case, there are lots of threads in the archives about this. Try a search using multiple words "cd volume control". | |
| audio aero capitole- how good vs analog? I do not have the Capitole and have listened to it but once (though I was impressed when I did), so I cannot contribute much there. On the other hand, there are loads of threads in the archives which address the relative merits of the Capitole. Is... | |
| Wires for a Jolida JD 1000RC and Selah Audio SA-1 Detlof, I never knew you were unimogged. Years ago on some thread here I suggested a modded Unimog as the ultimate offroad luxo-barge with audiophile possibilities galore (as long as the engine was turned off). The thread appears to have disappear... | |
| Tube amp with SS like bass Tvad, you are right on the wall-shaking part - my bad analogy. For me, bass is so important, I would not wish to listen to a speaker/amp combo that could shake the walls if it could not do so with utter control and precision. However, the ability ... | |
| Anyone have a manual for a Zanden 1000 or 1100? Thanks garyk. I contacted Eric and he was quite helpful. | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue Oops, it was "Waltz for Debby" not W 'with' Debby. Hifimaniac has the right idea... the 1500 series of BlueNotes is great. Another way to do research would be to open a couple of browser windows and dig through the Allmusic.com site on one hand (g... | |
| Wires for a Jolida JD 1000RC and Selah Audio SA-1 What a joy to see your name pop again Detlof! I can't add much in the way of concrete suggestions save the following; if your friend is the least bit DIY-oriented, Jon Risch's and Chris VenHaus' websites have some ideas. Also, there has also recen... | |
| Who Do You Credit For Getting You Into This Hobby? Glenn Gould, Emanuel Ax, Maurizio Pollini, Brendel, Richter, Villa-Lobos, and a host of others... | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue KOB is awesome. There aren't many other albums like it. In terms of style of music, I think of the "in'" Series (Relaxin', Steamin' Workin', Cookin'), maybe Steamin' is closest? You might also try "Porgy & Bess", and "Sketches of Spain". I lik... | |
| Bow ZZ8 replacement Any thoughts on a budget? New or used? ALL kinds of answers will come out and some may be irrelevant or unsuitable depending on your starting point.Among the "older" CD players out there, I think VERY highly of the ZZ-8 and would love to find one ... |
