| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience I think that digital, including cd, is just beginning to acheive its potential. I think that we will continue to hear significant improvements in digital sound for some time to come. | |
| An interesting Digital vs. Analog experience Now you've done it Mceljo. You know it is politically incorrect to say that digital can sound better than vinyl. Off to the audiophile reeducation camp for you! | |

| Are Disc Players Dead? Timrhu, Macdad is a BIG vinyl fan. I have read many of his posts on the subject. So, knowing that he considers vinyl to be alive, I tried to answer his question about digital discs from that perspective. That is why I referred to vinyl. I have not... | |
| A Walk in The COUNTRY Tom Russell. His early work with the Tom Russell Band is my favorite era but he continues to put out excellent cds.Jerry Jeff Walker. I'd recommend only his early work, up through "Ridin' High".I don't know if either sound like Jamey Johnson, thou... | |
| Are Disc Players Dead? Cds still outsell vinyl by about 200 to 1 so I think if you consider vinyl to be alive you would also consider cd to be alive and well. | |
| Any experience w/ Conrad Johnson MET150 5ch amp? I think it is a multichannel version of the ET250S amp. The ET 250S is a current Stereophile class A amp. I agree Spearit Sound would be the people to talk to about it. | |
| CD mastering a lost art? I agree that most cds aimed at the top 40 sound like crap, but I find that many artists out of the mainstream put out very good sounding cds. Most of the remasters of classic rock, country, blues and jazz sound very good also. There's more good st... | |
| Audio Fidelity Gold CDs I have "A Space In Time" by Ten Years After. It sounds great, if slightly psychedelic classic rock suits your tastes. | |

| Need advice on CJ preamps One more thing. The 16 and 17ls (I and II) make a clicking sound when the volume is changed. Some people find this annoying and don't like these preamps for that reason. Apparently the people at c-j felt that the sound quality that this volume mec... | |
| 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... | |
