| Ended my Qobuz subscription You can find plenty of folk/Americana on Tidal. I think that you can get a 30 day free trial to find out if they have what you want. | |
| DAC Event in Phoenix AZ August 24th Great info, prighello. I look forward to attending one of your events when I'm back in AZ. | |
| Hi-Fi Lo-Fi Audiogon serves one segment of the audio market and Ebay serves the $500 system market. I don't want to sort through ads for $100 receivers and people looking for $100 receivers don't want to see ads for $1,000 cables. There's nothing wrong with... | |
| John Coltrane's lost album ... Keep 'em coming. | |
| Help Many people think that MLs pair well with tubes in general and with the Mac 275 in particular. Other people think that MLs do better with more power, most likely solid state power. I think if you could borrow a solid state muscle amp you could dec... | |
| Mono Recordings One album is Hendrix’s Axis: Bold As Love. The panning of the instruments is all over the place. Guitars and vocal are panned over reasons that don’t don’t make a lot of sense. You got that one wrong. Jimi personally spent many hours at the mixing... | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan Check out the Martin Logan owners forum: www.martinloganowners.comOne member: roberto is in Costa Rica. He could probably help you with advice on owning MLs outside North America. | |

| Thinking of upgrading to ML ESL 11 or 13a. Thoughts? A larger panel will give you better sound. Not sure what the room correction will mean in your case, it could be life changing or not. I assume the Rhythmic is a sub, so I think you should think about a larger panel for an upgrade. | |
| Caveat about the Cable Company return policy Thanks for the info. I am thinking about using them to compare cables. | |
| Does it come down to the mastering quality only?? Just FYI, the record producer and recording engineer(s) are primarily responsible for getting the music onto the tape or drive, then there is often a separate mixing engineer and finally the mastering engineer who gets the final mix of the tape or... | |
| what is it in audio that you dislike most? +1 on the loudness wars. | |
| SACD or not SACD? Of course the recording and mastering matter, so cds can sound better than sacds, but IMHO, sacd is a superior format. If you plan to buy a lot of sacds get an sacd player, if only an occasional sacd, put the money into a better cd player or dac. | |
