| Van Morrison "Duets" I think that most artists from the 60s need to hang it up. There are exceptions but many of these artists are embarrassing themselves. I guess they're well insulated from anyone who would tell them that it's over.An interesting observation about V... | |
| Electrostatic speakers and low volume resolution Hi Broadstone, There's a thread on the Marin Logan Owners website that has the title," i tried 34 amps in 12 months with the Montis, My review is here."In this thread the OP makes the following statement:"This brings me to the mark levinsons h ser... | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? Geoffkait, Dynamic range is only one factor in sound quality and not all cds are overly dynamically compressed, nor will all cds be overly compressed in the future.If you listen to grammy type pop music, compression is a problem. However, there ar... | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? Geoffkait, That's interesting because even back in the 70s cassette was known as a lofi medium, only 8 tracks were considered worse. You had to use dolby processing to decrease tape hiss, which also removed a lot of the high frequencies, or one co... | |

| Why are records still warped? Re: Fremer and perfect LpsI'd bet that certain reviewers get individually selected copies. You'd be crazy not to make sure MF gets a good one. | |
| Recommend Class a Amp Georgelofi, The JC1s have gotten good reviews and I've read posts praising them on this forum, but for whatever reason, they just don't generate a lot of buzz here.Stereophile has them ranked in Class A with amps that cost many tens of thousands o... | |
| 3/3/2015 Another San Francisco Smash and grab The problem in our society is not too many guns. There are numerous other problems causing the breakdown in order. For example: The free flow of heroin, meth and cocaine across our southern border. The break-up of the traditional family and the re... | |
| Another UPS Horror Story Since the shipper buys the insurance from UPS he is the insured party and he has to file the claim with UPS, which is why they sent it back to him. Not that that does any good because UPS and other shippers are notoriously bad about paying for dam... | |
| Dalis or Thiels I have not heard the Thiels but my reading tells me that they are very different speakers from the Dalis. Now I may have gotten it wrong regarding the Thiels, but my understanding is that they are a more revealing speaker that will show any defici... | |
| Hot Stamper - myth or reality? I think that he could do a lot better on the system. I'd bet that there are current amp/preamp combos or integrateds that would allow differences between lps to be heard a lot more clearly than a 70s receiver would. His receiver seems to get the j... | |

| SACD & other Formats Does anyone know why digital downloads cost $18 to $30 for a single album with no bonus tracks or contemporaneous concerts, no deluxe booklet with new interviews and essays? I think the cost to get a download to the consumer is minimal and I know ... | |
| SACD & other Formats There are a great many classical SACDs available, if you enjoy that genre. I haven't sampled them myself but since they have to be a labor of love (there isn't a lot of money in classical these days), I have to think that many have been produced w... | |
| Pass amps: newer xa30.8 or older xa60.5 ? Ozzy, Both the X350.5 and the X350.8 appear to still be in production, or at least both are still available new. That indicates to me that Nelson may feel that there will be people who prefer the .5 models to the .8s. The .8s won't be discontinued... |
