| Silver racks... Hey, thanks a lot for the help, everyone. I've printed out this page for quicker reference, and you've given me a bunch of great ideas to consider. | |
| Pete Gabriel and Kate Bush I was listening to Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love" when I read this posting. Does anyone know if any of her work is available in DVD-A/SACD/HDCD/Gold CD, etc.? | |
| Cowboy Junkies 'Open' on SACD Having heard the entire CJ library, I'd have to say The Trinity Session was more an aberration than a rule; they're basically an average band that had that One Shining Moment. Parenthetically, The Trinity Session has this sort of urban legend abou... | |
| Receivers 500 and under? I know it's been said before, but are there really any legitimate choices other than Outlaw at that price point? Tons of value for the money. The only way I could recommend something else would be if you got a great used price on a receiver that o... | |
| Best Receiver in your opinions for 1000? I really think you should consider the Denon-3802. It has about 110 watts per channel, DVD-audio capability (6.1 input), room for Zone B speakers, compnent video switching, and the reviewers have been as thrilled by the stereo reproduction of this... | |
| Bob Dylan, Keith Richards & Tom Waits: A cappella I have a *priceless* recording of Shaquille O' Neal, William S. Burroughs, and Rosie Perez singing "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire." I really feel it's better than the Dylan/Richards/Waits combination, but that's just a personal choice.P.S.--I... | |
| Mark Levinson in Lexus? I recall the Stereophile article as well...I believe it was Robert Harley who reviewed it, and he was thrilled with the results. Evidently, it's better car stereo sound than anyone ever thought possible. | |
| Ebay auctions referenced at AudiogoN? I offered an MSB Gold Link III (which I purchased for $999 from Northern Audio in Pittsburgh) here on AudiogoN at a fair market price; no one bit. So, I went to eBay and listed the item at my AudiogoN asking price ($700...it was a virtually new, m... | |
| TUNERS..anyone? I've said it before and I'll say it again...roll out the XM and Serius tuners for audiophile home use, and let's see how digital radio can *really* sound. | |
| Why are AM/FM Tuners So Expensive? I'm interested to see if/when XM and Serius come out with audiophile-quality rack-sized units, rather than just the car radio pieces they have out now. I'd pay a pretty penny for a well-developed digital tuner that looked good in my system. | |
| Are you an Audiophille or a Music Lover No.2 ? I swear, it feels like the general state of music gets worse all the time. The growing domination of drivel is so pervasive that I would listen to yesterday's music on the best system possible, and regret it less than if I did it the other way aro... | |
| NEW Musical Fidelity DAC I enjoy reading UK reviews (even though we have to pay exorbitant prices here in the US for publications like "What Hi-Fi?"). Still, I think all Americans should take British reviews with a grain of salt, especially since Americans generally have ... | |
| I know Audiogon is the best for buying and selling The "other 'A' site" is still useful, though not nearly to the extent it was back in its halcyon days. I've found that there's a great deal of information on the other "A" site, but the people delivering it are not always as qualified and professi... | |
| Best Engineered Album, - Diana Krall ????? BIGGEST SELLOUT POSSIBLE--DIANA KRALL!!!!!!!!!!This would be the only category in which I would award first place to Diana Krall. Other winners include:MOST OVERRATED MANUFACTURER--BoseMOST OBNOXIOUS PERSONA--Matthew Polk (over Noel Lee)WORST QUAL... | |
| JVC XRCD CDs, are they worth the extra cash? I have a wonderful Bill Evans XRCD (Portrait in Jazz), and sound is really more lifelike all the way around...on good gear, it's about as close to "being there" as I've heard out of redbook CDs. |
