| 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 ZD542, the $18 to $30 is on the hi-res download sites HDTracks and Acoustic Sounds Super HiRez. There were some titles at HDTracks on sale for $15.Colekat, SACDs outside of classical are being released at the rate of one or two a month except for ... | |
| 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... | |
| Lynne Arriale Well that figures, It looks like Lynne and Steve Davis have parted ways on her last two group recordings. The most recent album I have is "Nuance". I should have looked at it before I posted. It features Anthony Pinciotti on drums and so does her ... | |
| Lynne Arriale Lynne Arriale has at least 10 albums out and they are all good. I really like her music, which is almost entirely piano trios. The drummer on all 10 albums is Steve Davis who has a unique style. He is not a timekeeper type of drummer, he is part o... | |
| Analog and digital are both equally amazing... I have to agree with you goldenear. Analog and digital can both sound great and there's no reason one can't enjoy both. | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers OK. I don't want to complicate the discussion between George and Ralph about power ,voltage and current. I'm just wondering why an amp that doesn't double down at 4 ohms and again at 2 ohms can't deliver the small amounts of energy needed for a sp... | |
| Best tube amp for electrostatic speakers May I ask how much power you need to produce music above 10khz? I have a couple of charts that show that the only instrument capable of producing fundamental frequencies above 5khz is a pipe organ. A piccolo's highest fundamental comes in at 4khz,... | |
| s-s integrateds just on the warm side of neutral I can't believe that the word hasn't gotten around yet, but there are a lot of people buying gear on Audiogon because they don't have a friendly dealer nearby who will let them borrow a few integrateds to take home and compare for a few weeks. And... | |
| Monty Alexander lp recommendations If your ears can stand cd or SACD, "Ray Brown / Monty Alexander / Russell Malone" is a great album. | |
| Like a Rolling Stone - Looking for great live Dylan Ghosthouse, Dylan was not and is not a normal person, as I'm sure you know. I'd guess that he was responding to the Judas shout. I doubt that he would care about or argue with someone who didn't want to listen to his albums any more. Being called ... |
