| Need advice on CJ preamps You want to go with the 17ls II. The series II version has the teflon capacitors which many people feel are an improvement over the 17ls. I haven't compared the two.You should be able to get one in the $2400 - $3000 range, I'd guess.It uses 4 6922... | |
| West Coast Blues A couple more came to mind.Little Charlie and the Nightcats, later Rick Estrin and the NightcatsRick Estrin, vocals and harp, always had been the frontman but made it official when Little Charlie, guitar, decided to get off the road. Rick's vocals... | |
| West Coast Blues Love it. Great stuff!Rod Piazza and the Mighty FlyersKid Ramos - first two or three albums, then he went off the rails | |
| Are the CD'S days numbered? Absolutely, everyone should sell their cds and buy Lps. | |
| Hi- Res download newbie You're welcome. I have read a lot about different Apple software resulting in changes in sound quality but none about windows software.I think you can be confident that using the flac converter will not affect sound quality and pretty sure that IM... | |
| Hi- Res download newbie Trader's Little Helper is a perfectly good flac converter but you can get THE flac converter itself. Just google flac. It's free and easy to install.IMG works fine for burning. I don't know if it's the best though. | |
| Amy Winehouse.RIP Orpheous, you need to brush up on your current affairs if you want to discuss them publicly. No one is suggesting making changes to Social Security for any one 55 or older, so granny is not in danger, the Social Security pyramid scheme is though.T... | |
| All things Must Pass- High Rez Download SQ ? I agree with Sgr, the best way would be to do it ourselves here on Audiogon. Just start a thread with a title like Hi Res downloads that do or don't sound better than cd. | |
| Conrad Johnson CA200 opinions welcome Branislav, It is definitely not an "in your face amplifier" nor is it bright or harsh. I think the TAS review said it would be hard to beat for its finesse.I would not describe it as warm but it is hard to say what warm means to you. The c-j 2250A... | |
| Conrad Johnson CA200 opinions welcome Branislav, one more thing. I have heard people describe the Pass XA.5 amps as reproducing music with a sense of ease. They also say the more watts you get the more ease you get. The CA200 also has this sense of ease.If you have any specific questi... | |
| Conrad Johnson CA200 opinions welcome Yes, most people think that the XA.5 and INT-30A are the better sounding, more tube like amps from Pass. You're pretty well into the diminishing returns area here so I don't think you'll find big differences between the amps, unless you have devel... | |
| modest towers with high WAF for living room? Check out the Dali Helicon 400. Easy to listen to, a little warmth, musical. Not an analytical, high detail speaker.I think the mk Is look a litle nicer with the grille cloths extending to the floor. Finish is very nice high gloss cherry or rosewood. | |
| Conrad Johnson CA200 opinions welcome I have a CA200. It's a very nice integrated. I have trouble describing sound because I don't get the chance to listen to a lot of different gear.The CA200 is definitely a first class integrated. It's smooth, clear and the word that comes to my min... | |
| Am I in the minority? Ferrari, I'm sure ASCAP and BMI are keeping a close eye on any legitimate download seller. I disagree about free music though. There has always been free music. We used to call it radio.I don't have a computer set-up yet, but I'm looking forward t... | |
| Why are HD downloads so expensive? Mauidj,I didn''t mean to come off as hostile. Lots of people gripe about stuff here. You can too but you may get some blowback. That's just the way it is.I think it is probably more expensive for HDTracks to send a hi-res download, which includes ... |
