| Digital remastering of CD's As Wino said, CCR's first six albums, remastered, were reissued today. I don't know how they sound or how they compare to the box set that was released a few years ago. Has anyone been able to compare them?I think the next high-res digital format ... | |
| Review: Merlin Music Systems VSM MMe Speaker Glad to hear you've found sonic nirvana. Thanks for sharing. | |
| New Roland Continuum 250 vs. Simaudio I-7 I can't comment on the Rowland or Sim but I suggest you also consider the c-j CA200. It's a nice integrated with a sound I'd describe as sweet. There are several good reviews online that you can google. It's also a current TAS Editor's Choice, Ste... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool, I will defer to your obvously superior knowledge.My concern was that many audiophiles tend to overanalyze music to begin with. If you add to that a trained ear and the fact that most albums are poorly recorded, it just seems that it mig... | |
| David Bromberg -- Any fans? Bromberg is killer, but not for everyone. I saw him a couple times back in the 70s with his full band. They were the best musicians I have seen in one band in the rock/country genres. Every one of them played multiple instruments and they were hot... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Relating capturing the soul of the music to sound quality is only relevant to audiophiles. Young ears, for instance, are, in general, oblivious to the digital artifacts that some audiophiles find so offensive, unless the young person in question h... | |
| Help Tube Power Amp Recommendations The rule of thumb on impedance is you want the input impedance of your amp to be 10x the output impedance of your preamp.I don't know if they meet that requirement, but I recommend the Primaluna amps. They have soft start and autobiasing to keep y... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Learsfool, lets just say that *you* prefer the distortion created by Lps. I have read in the audiophile press many articles and interviews by people with well trained ears who find listening to digital to be as enjoyable as listening to vinyl. You... | |
| Jazz Piano Trio / Spanish Guitar The Lynne Arriale Trio. She plays beautiful, lyrical piano in a trio that includes a very unique drummer whose playing is also almost melodic. This is not New-Age music though, it's definitely jazz.Her first three albums on the DMP label are the p... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Analog only lovers are going to have to face the fact that maybe digital will never capture the soul of music for themselves but for many people digital already surpasses the sound quality of vinyl and it will surpass it for most people very soon.... | |
| The latest flavour of the month speaker I can think of a couple reasons that are not a negative commentary on the people selling the flavor of the month.1. Many people on Audiogon don't have the oportunity to listen to an item they are considering buying in their own system prior to pur... | |
| How can we settle for digital? Digital is rapidly improving. We are no where near reaching the limits of sound quality on CD or high-res digital. I think the medium is just starting to hit its stride.Yes, there are tons of bad sounding CDs out there and the music industry, incl... | |
| Speaker Suggestion for Conrad Johnson CA200 amp I have not had the opportunity to hear the CA200 with a variety of speakers, but I like it a lot with Dali Helikon 400s, which are midsized speakers.Since you like the c-j sound, which has been trending toward "neutral", you would probably like th... | |
| Is it worth expanding into Vinyl??? There was a thread here recently where a vinyl lover complained about the poor sound quality of classic rock lps. He said he couldn't listen to most of them. IIRC, it was concluded that they were poorly recorded and manufactured.I'm in the save yo... | |
| Any experience out there with the Magnum XM units? I think you hit the answer in your post, Whatjd. The biggest factor in XM sound quality is the bit rate at which they broadcast the station.They are going to be merging with Sirius so I think it would be a good idea to wait till the dust settles b... |
