| The Compact Jazz Collection- Yea or Nay They look like they are compilations of various artists, which suggests to me that the music on them and the sound quality will vary on each disc, and the artists play a pretty wide spectrum of older jazz. IMHO, this is not a sure thing gold mine... | |
| What CDs to buy What kind of music do you like? If you stream you can sample a lot of music and purchase CDs that sound particularly good or CDs that you think will musically hold your attention long term. | |
| Why Do Some Recordings Sound Great and Others Dead? Recordings vary widely in SQ, as I'm sure you know. Some seem to agree with your system and room while others don't, and some will never sound good. They're just bad recordings. You say the acoustics in your room are poor. Can you do anything ... | |
| What is the highest quality digital music file? Where can I get it? Qobuz has all the sound quality you need at present and for many equipment upgrades into the future. Streaming is the way to go. Streaming makes up about 90% of record company revenues now. It’s easy, it’s cheap, it offers more music than you cou... | |
| SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD The 50th Anniversary Edition of Stage Fright sounded great to me on Qobuz. A clear improvement, IMHO. | |
| Tube Preamp --> Solid State Amp It is very common for people to use a tube pre with a solid state amp to get some tube sound into their system. Does your integrated have inputs that bypass its preamp? | |
| Raytheon 5751 Versions @hiend2 - I suggest you talk to Brent Jessee, a good tube dealer. He'll be able to tell you what differences there are. Just google his name. | |
| Absolute Sound's "Reviews" Their paper version always has several extensive subjective reviews and one very lengthy review of a very expensive component. They do have 2 or 3 issues a year where they do their recommended components and awards, which sounds like what you're ... | |
| SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD I guess you got shortchanged on the SACD but your ear for sound quality was confirmed.by R.Robertson and Bob Clearmountain. | |
| SQ of "Rock of Ages" on CD There's a little discussion here that might help: The Band: Rock of Ages vs Live at the Academy of Music 1971 | Steve Hoffman Music Forums | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? herb, if Andrew Jones couldn't explain it to you while setting up a pair of coaxial speakers, I doubt that anyone here can. | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? @mulveling Coherent, natural sound with solid & sharp imaging, I'm sure that's how your Tannoys sound to you, but isn't just about every speaker manufacturer shooting for those qualities, some with more success than others? There are exc... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? erik, you post some puzzling questions. My guess is that speakers with concentric drivers from different manufacturers can sound as different from one another as speakers with concentric drivers can sound from speakers with each driver mounted sep... | |
| Qobuz hell No they shouldn't have billed you for a new month. I haven't had that problem. I know they don't like to give money back. I wish I could help out, but I haven't been in your situation. It cancels for me when I cancel. | |
| Qobuz hell When I log into my Qobuz account, the first item on the menu is My Streaming Plan. I click on that and a page comes up and in the upper right hand corner is a red link that says Cancel Plan. Try that. |
