| Difference between Conrad Johnson CT6 & ET3 preamp The CT6 is based on the ART circuit and uses 4 6922 tubes. The ET3 is based on the newer GAT circuit and uses 1 6922 tube.I haven't heard either and I think you would have to listen to them to determine which you prefer. c-j amps seem to be gettin... | |
| Any hope for SACD? It depends on how well they sell. If Analogue Productions and MoFi make good money from their SACD efforts we'll see more of them. I don't see why they can't crank them out like they do in Japan. There has to be some DSD equipment sitting around u... | |
| dts 5.1 fold down to stereo better than cd? Thanks for the tips Oldears. I hook up my computer monitor if I can't get it to play 2CH blind. There is also an Audio button on the bottom of the remote that pulls up the MCH or 2CH menu and scrolls through the choices. Of course you need a video... | |

| best sound for a classical and jazz cd Ray Brown, Monty Alexander, Russell Malone (that's the title) on Telarc. SACD or CD. They both have great sound. I'll let you guess which sounds better. | |

| dts 5.1 fold down to stereo better than cd? Thanks Theo. Kal, It is one of those that have the dts logo and 5.1 Music Disc in red across the top, front and back.

| Earl Scruggs dies at 88 Earl was a musical giant and a humble man. His contributions to country music will never be forgotten. | |
| Digital Emperor has no clothes Of course 16/44.1 sounds better than 24/192. And Mp3 sounds better than 16/44.1. Everyone knows that. | |
| Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan Minus, Many people think that it is the owner's perception that breaks in over the first 100 or 500 hours. That's possible in your world, isn't it? You'll only find frustration if you try to apply physics to human perception and behavior. | |
| Audiophile grade country Anyone who listens to country music should listen to Emmylou Harris. She's not old school honky tonk but she is definitely country and not country-pop or whatever it's called.Her early albums were remastered by Rhino Records and all her work has g... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Chadeffect, I think the attraction of vinyl is that it's the way that people listened when they developed their taste in music, not that it's a superior format. Maybe a couple of decades ago, but digital is more accurate to the master tape or file... | |
| Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment Chadeffect, I hate to tell you this but even if the signal coming out of your DAC is as pure as the driven snow the rest of your system is coloring it. And for that matter, the file on your server is a pale reflection of what was heard by the musi... | |
| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? No speaker, including highly detailed ones, presents the music exactly as it was recorded on the disc or lp. In fact there is no one sound that represents what the grooves or digits represent. Every stereo system, including the mixing engineer's, ... | |
| Transport for PS Audio PW DAC I'd suggest getting a PWT or selling the PWD and getting a Oppo BDP95 or Sony XA5400ES or Marantz 8004. |
