| Living Stereo SACD's are a comin Ditto on excellent. I've listened to the Bartok Concerto for Orchestra disc and the Chopin Ballades/Scherzos by Rubinstein. The Bartok Concerto is ridiculously good. It is in 2 channel, by the way. Also on that disc is "Music for Strings, Percussi... | |
| What do you NEVER want to hear again??? Sbank was right on the money. Next time you are at a wedding, gentle reader, you'll hear a perfectly gathered compilation of all the songs I never want to hear again. | |
| Living Stereo SACD's are a comin Well, they are here. And there's good news, and there's... more good news. I went to Tower records today to pick up a couple of them, and there were only about 5 left! I asked the guy working the classical section where they all were, and he said ... | |
| Dire Straits Remasters Music Direct (www.amusicdirect.com) will have the XRCDs. I'm going to wait for SACD. I was happy to notice that Mark Knopfler's new album, "Shang-ri La", due to be out on September 28th (I think) is being released Day 1 on SACD. | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. "Foxtrot" gets my vote as the best one. I like "Duke" the best from the PC era. The "Lamb" used to be my favorite, but you definitely have to be in the right frame of mind to listen to that one. If in the wrong frame of mind, you might not hear th... | |
| Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today? I would love to be in position to ask such a question. I have nearly 5K invested in my transport & DAC and it was the best money I've ever spent. An important thing to keep in mind is the fact that CD showed up in 1982, and now in 2004 it has ... | |
| what's your favorite album cover? Quadrophenia | |
| FM radio in Chicagoland Thanks for pointing 99.9 out. I'm listening and enjoying. I think they can go far if they don't do what XRT did... I can barely listen to that station anymore (unless I need a good fix of commercials). | |
| CD player for under $2,000 Of the 3 models for which you've stated interest, I would guess that they are all very good. I know that the Naim player is very good and recommend it. Also in your price range would be the Music Hall Maverick at $1500. It boasts first class redbo... | |
| Arcam decision Here is what I think is good sound advice. Figure out what you are able to spend and buy a CD player that costs 150% of that amount. Source components are the single most important element of your audio system. Sure, you're gonna be in hock, but y... | |
| Which Beethoven's symphony do you like the best? I think this is a funny thread. Beethoven overrated. So was Plato, Da Vinci, Newton, Lincoln, Edison, Marx (Groucho of course), and I could go on and on.Go listen to some music.btw, I love all 9 symphonies. Hard to pick a favorite. | |
| What is a Digital to Analogue Converter I have a MAP-1 but I don't use a D/A converter. With the MAP-1 you lose the flexibility that comes with having a home theatre receiver. My components that run into the MAP-1 are a Sony SCD-C222ES SACD player and a cheapo Toshiba DVD player with DV... | |
| Hi-end CD 5-disk Changers? SACDmods.com will add an IEC adapter along with their other mods. I will caution that I haven't heard stellar redbook play from this line of Sony players. SACD is great. Cheers.Tom | |
| Anyone heard a SACDmods modded Sony DVP-NC555ES?? I haven't heard that player personally. I had a Sony SCD-C222ES modified by SACDmods. A decent player was turned into a fabulous player. It sounds as good as the high-end Sony's. I've also heard the Marantz SA14 and the Krell SACD Standard, and ca... | |
| Does this DAC exist? The Birdland Odeon-Ag has everything you are looking for except the analog passthrough. 2 Toslink, 1 RCA/BNC (adapter supplied for RCA), and 1 XLR. Cost is around $1300 new, $1800 with the re-clocker option. They don't show up used too often becau... |
