| Best Sounding Red Book CD Changer Under $400 I highly recommend looking into a Sony SCD - C333ES.You can pick one up for $350 - $400, it plays CD/SACD, and is a 5 disk changer. Surprising sonics, to be frank. In my system last month, it embarrassed a very well regarded $2500 audiophile playe... | |
| Future of this hobby? As I am often of a contrarian perspective, so too is the case here...Despite all of the angst and hand wringing in this hobby, I feel that high end audio is well positioned for some substantial growth in the next 25 years. Also, I agree with a lot... | |
| Walker Audio Extreme SST I believe that in a system in which small changes are apparent sonically, the SST/Extreme SST should produce a readily audible difference. While this may seem to be coming from a high handed perspective, I have been through extended periods where ... | |
| Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ???? I first have to say that for those who want to take this with a grain of salt, so be it - I'm a part of Fried Products...However, luckily, before he died, Bud Fried gave me his longtime personal loudspeakers - C/4 satellites with O subwoofers, and... | |
| CD Player with best bass?? Honest1 is right on the ball here. Anyone who doesn't think that CD players differ greatly in terms of their bass response hasn't had the opportunity to listen to different players.For what it's worth, I have found that this is what the more expen... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System JD, thanks for your post here. I also feel endebted to your kind words. Further, in watching what part of your audio journey you have been kind enough to share with us over the years, I feel that there are few people in this hobby more devoted, de... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Well, I guess it's funny, but it's now almost a full four years after I submitted that post, but I feel even STRONGER in that opinion now. The price of wire is, in the majority of cases, set by the type of artificial means Mapleleafs3 laid out. As... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD Concerning my feelings of Dr. Kite's relevance in this argument, his comments on SACD clearly delineate him as someone whose opinions I will not be interested in. The clearly audible sonic superiority of SACD to CD would be enough to keep him from... | |
| Clever Lil Clock - What's up with this? Gerrym, you are not the only one asking the question, "Is this a joke or am I missing something here?" | |
| Why is there no Mid End The term mid - fi seems to have fallen out of our vocabulary. In the 80s, there was definitely three classes discussed heavily: mass - fi (Aiwa, Panasonic, Sony), mid - fi (Denon, Onkyo, Sony ES), and high end (where we play). Further, within the ... | |
| Another Variable Out CDP or a Preamp In my opinion, if you are even serious about considering analog, among other sources, you're probably going to need a full function preamp at some point. Rather than mess around and take two or three steps to get there, bite the bullet now. You ca... | |
| Diff in recording/reproduction in Analog/CD/SACD I don't even have a vinyl rig, but am the first to admit that sonically, it is far superior to digital.As an example, I own what I consider to be a reference level CD player - a Granite 657. Playing the same Sonny Rollins "Way Out West" SACD again... | |
| Merry Christmas Everyone Merry Christmas! | |
| My tube amp power supply is buzzing away Help Before you do anything, try tightening the transformer down. You may find you need to go no further. And, if the design is not great, look into fixing THAT first. Trying these other products is good, but unless you first batten down the hatches, y... | |
| What happened to Dekay??? Thanks for this thread JD!I'd also like to know if Dave is OK. And, while we're hear, what about Bruce (Brulee). Hope he is well... |
