| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I like to inject some hard data into these debates. Check out this link to data about sales of various formats:https://www.riaa.com/u-s-sales-database/ If you look at the two charts on this page, it’s clear that over the last 45 years digital has ... | |
| What’s wrong with Diana Krall? That's unfortunate. I hope she was just having a temporary illness. Fame can have detrimental effects on people but let's hope this was just a bad night. All artists have them. | |
| Carver Crimson 275 tube amp The amp is new so you probably won't find much feedback on it. I'd call Carver and see what they tell you. Have them compare the sound to the 350s because there is more comment available on those. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD chadsort, you've really got the vinyl folks wound up here. You're lucky we're no longer burning people at the stake for heresy, but I'd lock my doors anyway.There have been at least two generations of Esoteric players since your X03SE came out an... | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release I couldn't get to the ebay ad from your link so I can't say for sure, but probably not. Since it is part of the 50th Anniversary reissue it was probably made at the same plant as those available from Amazon or other sources. If it was a separate J... | |
| Arizona Audiofile Club Thanks for the invite. I'll try to get there. | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release Jimi was discovered in the US by Chas Chandler who was looking for an act to kick off his new career as a record producer. Chas had Jimi sign a management contract with Michael Jeffery, the guy Chas always complained had screwed The Animals out o... | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release Here are a couple of posts from the Steve Hoffman forums. I can’t vouch for their accuracy:1. it appears the CD is a DR average of [8]and the Blu-ray is DR average of [13].The 5.1 is a surround mix, and that in of itself is reason enough for inclu... | |
| IS THE MARTIN LOGAN Renassance 15A worth the $10,000 higher cost than the Expression 13A Second the idea that you need the best electronics you can get with Martin Logans. They are very transparent and you will hear any money spent or not spent upstream. They like power too. | |
| Hendrix 50th Anniversary Electric Ladyland Box Release Don't want to spoil anyone's fun, but on the Steve Hoffman forums and Amazon the early word is that the cd is pretty badly compressed. The 24/96 blu-ray is not. So if you can't play blu-ray you may want to hold off on this one. | |
| drag me into the digital age!! Get the instructions out and follow them step by step and you should be able to get it working. You will probably need to download an app to your phone or tablet to control the Auralic (select your source, Tidal, internet radio, etc. and what you ... | |
| Upgrade SACD/CD player from DCS Puccini to better DCS, Esoteric or EMM Labs? I own an Esoteric K-05 and it does not sound analytical to me, it sounds great on cds and SACDs. I understand that you will get more detail with their better players (I haven’t heard them), so that might be what you consider analytical? I’d includ... | |
| Ethics are sliding by members! pigboat, We don’t talk politics here. stevecham was a rare instance of poor judgement. Remain calm, be polite and if someone brings up politics, don’t reply, just report it to the moderators and you’ll be fine here. | |
| Ethics are sliding by members! stevecham, wake up! This is an audio forum. If you want to ruin it, introduce politics. | |
| Do you have a favorite vacuum tube? I have some Amperex 7316s in my preamp now. I had been away for a while and I had forgotten they were in there until this thread made me go check, but I have been thinking that my system is sounding good, so I have to agree with thecarpathian abo... |
