| Beethoven String Quartets: DDD recordings.... I believe the Emerson Quartet's set on DG is DDD. Sonically it's not as good as the Cleveland Telarc. Performace wise, it sizzles. | |
| Am I really smart or really stupid? The part about it shouldn't cost $3000 is well taken. I don't know how to put it...designers of circuits who throw more and more money at them to make them better are not innovaters at all. If you have the money to buy really expensive gear, that'... | |
| Naxos, the way to go for classical? And not just reviews....it might help if you read a general book on classical music to get your bearings. It's a vast field (as you recognize) and slicing it by record label is too arbitrary a way to do it IMO. Naxos has lots of great stuff for su... | |
| Getting more from my DAC Heresy here....but, could it be that there isn't as much difference between DACs/Players as is touted? I've had similar experiences over the years in a roughly equivalent system switching between Rotel/Theta Theta/Sony Rotel/MSB and Pioneer/MSB. I... | |
| Placette RVC review in Stereophile What got me about the review was its length. On the one hand, there's not too much to say about something this simple to use. On the other, there have been reviews of other passive stuff in the past that have been much more detailed than this one. | |

| Who is the Incognito distributor? He shall remain nameless | |
| Diana Krall "The Look of Love" . SACD or DVD A? I have the SACD and wish it was Diana Krall! | |
| Still pondering Paradigms Sometimes supposition and speculation is all that you can get...Even in the fairly mid-sized city I live in, there is only one real audio dealer...I have to count on reviews and word of mouth, which I do when I buy anything from audiogoners... | |
| Greatest rhythm sections McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison...with Coltrane. | |
| A “Tuned” power cord, Huh? See what note it hums when plugged in. Then lengthen it or shorten it to lower or raise that note. | |
| What is the correct cabinet height for a 50" TV? 50" | |
| price points vs. room treatment Some speakers are meant to be up against the wall. Maybe not many, and I don't know which, but I'd check those out...I recall Art Dudley saying that Moth Chicadas or something like that were supposed to be positioned not only against the wall but ... | |
| Is my reciever coverting back to digital? I bet, but do not know, that it is converting to digital and then back again...that's how it gets the prologic surround channels from 2 channel. My nice old, old lexicon processor converts to digital and then back. If and when I can afford it, I w... |
