Underrated jazz greats
" Les Paul " was underrated ? 
Downgrading
I listen to many sub $3000 systems. There all nice enough but none have shocked the hell out of me. 
Is anyone familiar with the Ayre Dac??
Interesting responses. I also have quite a bit of Ayre gear, but I certainly wouldn't consider it warm as others above have described. If I were asked if there gear had a house sound I would likely say a very slight bit thin. I use an ARC DAC8 bet...

Solid State for Rock and Tubes for Jazz, Yes or No
A few months back I heard a rustling at my front door, when I peered through the window I could see a group of asian fellow's that looked quite serious, to my better judgement I opened the door and let them in. It turned out to be an impromptu vis...

30 Years of Perfect Sound?

" burn a copy of the manufactured cd onto a good quality cd-r and it improves " If your CD burner is doing it's job the sound will be identical. 
30 Years of Perfect Sound?
The recording/mastering studios have more to do with bad sound than the formate itself. I have CD's that sonically trounce LP's and vice versa. To much is being made of the formate and not enough about the way music is being procured to a disc of ...
