apodizing filter sonics
I have a Ayre CX-7eMP. I bought it used after it had been upgraded to MP status. I have not been able to compare it to other players or even listen to it a lot yet, but I can say a couple things about it. It is a big step forward in cd playback. I... 
So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets?
Wireless, I hope that making posts like yours give you great enjoyment because you seem to be missing the point of listening to music. It is to enjoy the music. Not because you own a "better" version than other people, but because the music moves ... 
So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets?
The living Beatles approved the remasterings. I think they could have gotten them pressed on purple vinyl in mono if they felt that was the only proper way to hear them. They probably will be reissued on vinyl in mono at some point as well as othe... 
So, What is the Verdict on the Beatles Box Sets?
Can anyone put up a link to graphs that show the compression and EQing of the remasters compared to the original vinyl? 
Primaluna tube amps...
Great sound, great build, and autobias for the power tubes. They're a great deal. 
Been listening to The Beatles ...
Yeah, they sound great. The early albums' strength is an infectious joyfulness. I think that if Traffic had kept Dave Mason and not gone off in that jazzy direction but stayed in the classic rock vein, they might have given the Beatles some compet... 
No preamp 'Balance' control?

Beatles for sale? Well ...
The Mono Remasters are also still available at Best Buy. I wouldn't wait too much longer if you're thinking about getting a set. 
Does Pass Aleph 3 heat up the room like tube amp?
Kentchai, Plinius now makes class A/B amps that they claim sound "frighteningly close" (see their website) to their Class A amps.I own a Plinius SA 201 and it sounds great to me. I have not been able to compare it to their Class A amps. To my ear ... 
Divorcing..Splitting the cd collection..
You probably have some ripping and burning softwear on your computer, if you have one. Let us know if you do.My first bit of advice is to buy quality cd-rs (Taiyo Yuden - made in Japan [the Japan part is important] or MAM-A [Mitsui]). You can buy ... 
Do you plan to buy The Beatles CD remasters?
The stereo versions of the early albums had the vocals in one channel and the instruments in the other, so I think the mono versions of these albums would be preferable.Does anyone know which albums were mixed in this way (vocals one channel, inst...
