| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Robert Deutsch reviewed the ML Montis hybrid for Stereophile and concluded that despite the .5 ohm impedance at 20khz, the speakers could be driven nicely by the McIntosh 275 on their 8 ohm taps and even by the PrimaLuna Prologue Premium integrate... | |
| New Beatles American Hey Jude cd It's probably not you. I don't think Capitol cared what went onto the Beatles albums as long as they sold huge quantities of them. The mistake was probably corrected by mistake also. | |
| PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines Acoustic Sounds is selling DSD downloads for $25, so I guess they're DOA, Neal. Maybe if volume gets high enough Sony will start selling them directly and the price will then come down. I'm sure Sony really wants to sell their back catalog one mor... | |
| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers Hi Smurf, your Aerius-is are getting a little long in the tooth too. Maybe you could fix the Butler and then save up for a whole new setup? The new Martin Logans sound really nice.People recommend the usual wide variety of tube and solid state amp... | |
| Where is All the DSD? I've been hearing about high-res downloads and easy to use servers to play them that are "just around the corner" for about 20 years now. I hope that Sony will come through, but I advise patience and waiting till the goods are available before buy... | |
| VAC 300.1a Tube Rolling You could try calling Upscale Audio or Brent Jessee (Audiotubes.com), or, for current production tubes, Jim McShane. These are just a few of the sellers who are considered good dealers who will give you good advice.Check out their websites to dete... | |
| PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES TAS has an article on the NuWave phono converter in the current issue (March) including a one and a half page sidebar on how to archive your vinyl by Paul McGowan, the owner of PS Audio. | |
| PS Audio Phono + Sony HAP-Z1ES PS Audio has forums on their website, just hit the Community button, and I'd guess that this topic has been discussed there at length. If it has not been discussed already, I'm sure there would be no shortage of people willing to explain what you ... | |
| Pat Metheny re issues? It appears that ECM remastered some of them, e.g. American Garage, New Chautauqua, in 2008 for a Touchstones series of reissues. If 2000 is too far past for you, I'd recommend waiting for High-Res downloads. | |
| Time for POT? previously owned tubes I can not tell how closely tubes are matched by listening to them either. I'm just guessing but it would seem that as long as they're not approaching "Bad" readings they would be able to produce the appropriate amount of electrons.It also seems th... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Sbayne,We don't want to start a debate, remember? Please just keep your arrogant dismissal of digital sound quality out of these threads. You're just making yourself sound like a blowhard. The time when vinyl blew digital out of the water is past ... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Sbayne, If you didn't mean to start a debate why did you come to the Digital forum to a thread that has nothing to do with turntables or digital vs vinyl and give your opinion that a $2,000 turntable setup will "blow the the HAP-Z1ES out of the wa... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013 Sbayne, That's funny. The days of a modest turntable "blowing digital out of the water" are now past. You may prefer the turntable, and you have every right to your preference, but that's just a bias on your part. That's just my humble opinion. | |

That will take you to a page with their discontinued models listed. Click on the model # and you'll go to a page that describes the unit , w... | |
| Tried the Elton John DSD? I haven't heard them in High-Res PCM but I have Elton John and Tumbleweed Connection on SACD and the sound is very good. |
