Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k?
Dali speakers are "forgiving" or "easy to listen to." TAS calls them speakers you can marry for life, and Michael Fremer gave them a good review in Stereophile. You can find the review on their website.There are a couple pair of their "Euphonia" l... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Hfisher, It's good to hear another report of great sound quality on a server system. I'm sure it's especially satisfying when you put some hard work into acheiving it.I am a lazy audiophile though. I am happy playing discs and although I'm sure my... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Hi Hfisher, I'm not saying that computer audio doesn't sound good, there are plenty of people raving about it. It's just that when I start looking into it, it gets complicated and buggy fast. Also, my stereo is not close to my router. Is that a pr... 
A high-resolution revolution?
Sounds good to me, if true. If Apple makes a high res server system that you just connect to your dac and play, high res time could finally be here. 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Foster9, I think you will just have to be patient a while longer unless you're computer inclined. Server based audio still needs time to develop.I've been hearing that hi res downloads are almost here since the late 90s and they are still almost h... 
What is Jazz?
Everyone has their own definition of Jazz. There is probably some overlap in all definitions of Jazz but no two people's definitions are the same. Jazz is a genre of music in which personalization and evolution are considered requirements of playi... 
Exemplar vs Modwright Oppo 95 Mods?
Peter_s, Could you elaborate a little more? A stock Oppo was compared to which modder's version? 33% of how many people did not hear a difference? 2/3 of 2/3 is about 44%, so almost half preferred the stock version and 23% preferred the modded ver... 
Mach2Music mini and Amarra : Huge disappointment
Pettyofficer, I don't want to get you riled up but there is more good music available on cd and lp right now than you could listen to in your lifetime, if you are willing to keep an open mind and explore different genres. This music will be availb... 
"Kisses on the Bottom" by Paul McCartney
Uru975 and Raytheprinter have it right. It is a lyric from "I'm Going to Sit Right Down as and Write Myself a Letter" and it does refer to kisses written at the bottom of a letter.I listened to the Amazon samples and I thought Paul's voice sounded... 
Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations?
Dali MS or Helicon, BUT they are not as far to the warm, rich side as to sound thick and colored, which your post seems to be asking for.The Dalis are a little to the warm side with rich harmonics and textures. They are musical and easy on the ear... 
"Violinists blast holes in violin experiment"
Audiotweak, I agree, and apparently the eyes are the most important after the ears. I wonder why some people choose to listen in the dark or with their eyes closed. Doesn't make sense does it? 
"Violinists blast holes in violin experiment"
Larry,My question asks if once you have zeroed in on what the differences between cable A and cable B are, can you identify those differences if you don't know whether you are listening to cable A or cable B?I am not trying to attack you personaly... 
"Violinists blast holes in violin experiment"
Larry, based on your experience doing A/B/A blind tests and no surprises, do you think that your expectations might have influenced what you heard? 
"Violinists blast holes in violin experiment"
I don't know if the experiment was well designed or not, but it just seems odd to me that owners of very expensive violins and audio gear are so adamantly opposed to being asked to identify it without being able to see what they are listening to. 
Music Servers-Why so few?
One reason may be that the record companies don't seem to be committed to cd res or better downloads. They're fine with mp3s but they would rather have a system where you only rent the music and don't own a copy.
