| Cisco Records out of business? What does this say about the great vinyl resurgence? | |
| Dali Helicon 800 mk2 or Euphonia MS5 Many feel that a high power amp (400+ wpc) will provide better control of bass which might decrease the warmth you're hearing. If that idea doesn't appeal to you, you may be better off trying a different speaker manufacturer. It is my understandin... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Yes my tone was sarcastic. Yes, I own a computer, stereo, cds, tv, etc. and I am as unethical as the next guy. It's just that with all the terrible injustices in this country and the world, I find it very hard to get worked up about giving away cd... | |
| Legal & Ethical Questions in the PC Audio Age Tell me, How do all you supremely ethical people rationalize spending huge sums of money (by the standards of most people in the world) on stereo gear and cds while most people don't get enough to eat?I would say that being a glutton while people ... | |
| Beatles Without George Martin? I'd say Paul McCartney has had a pretty successful career without George Martin.Lots of British bands were signed, given talented producers and the opportunity to show what they could do. Most of them fell flat on their faces or managed a hit or t... | |
| Digital Remastering: Last 5 years..... I have heard some remastered cds that were greatly improved over their earlier versions and sounded great to me. The recent Emmylou Harris box set is an example. Some of the tunes were recorded in the 70s and they were able to get really nice soun... | |
| New Roland Continuum 250 vs. Simaudio I-7 Hi Dave, I have no doubt that the Rowland is a great integrated. and I have no problem with you prefering it to the c-j. You have heard both the Rowland and the c-j so obviously your opinion has merit.I wouldn't describe the CA200's sound as warm ... | |
| 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... |
