| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? How many of all the previous posters still own that "Keeper for Life" Of course we'll never know but as Sonicbeauty asks, I too just wonder. | |
| Soundstage, Imaging, Detail & Presence?? "These are things most audiophiles never find"Actually Buconero 117 this is not true, if you follow the tube path to find them. I'm not sure it can be realized with ss, at least I haven't heard it but then again I expect it would be extremely pric... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? I understand what you are saying, never heard this adjective before. So far as dynamic range, I dunno know about that Muralman, so far as dynamics. I've heard some pretty mind boggling analog front ends in that area. In any event even if digital i... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? "You have to really pay attention to all the possibilites that determine the resulting sound. Not easy"This is true Mapman, agreed. I also agree with you concerning practical differences as well. How much does it matter? Practically I don't like t... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? Muralman I don't know exactly what you mean by more spark. I don't want the above comments to reflect an opinion that digital has finally arrived at where vinyl has evolved to. I'm not too sure about that but I can say this DAC does a lot of thing... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? Mapman I received the Mhdt Havana yesterday. It was shipped from Taiwan on Friday, can you believe that?!This DAC reminds me of a great SET amp except it is extended in the upper frequencies, well I should say my system really permits this with th... | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Keithr, I hear you but haven't you noticed a pretty tough crowd hang out in this neck of the woods. Some of us were pretty hard on the boy for sure but I suspect as Sherod himself noted the title more than the talent of the lad was the cause for t... | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Follow-UpMy wife, who is an amateur singer thought my above assessment was a bit too harsh. She thought the kid really has a nice voice. When I had her listen to the Sinatra version at 38 she was emphatic in stating what are you going to do, compa... | |
| Could this be the next Frank Sinatra? Hi SherodI'll concede I hear a little bit of Sinatra not that he reminds me in any way to Sinatra but beyond that....His rendition of this classic is purely karaoke.His singing is very strident, no real emotion or connection, at least I didn't fee... | |
| Has your HiFi changed your musical tastes I would say that overall no, my musical tastes haven't really changed, expanded maybe as I always loved rock, jazz and classical of all types, just being brought up around music I suppose had something to do with those tastes. Interestingly enough... | |
| Disappointing Evening You know it is really funny when I read this thread. As I note in many of the comments above about this hobby of ours the comments are really LESS about music than it is the hobby itself, the sound, the gear etc. This is perfectly evidenced by the... | |
| Disappointing Evening MarkpaoOne thing for sure as Larsky states above, your audio system is for you, all you can do is share the music, never the system. no one cares. I never even bring it up when guests come over unless they show an interest. The ONLY audio product ... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? Thanks for the info Mapman. I will weigh this in my decision as I am seriously considering trying one of these units for the hell of it. I sure haven't been convinced as closely as this to anything else I've read or listened to lately at this pric... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? Muralman1 thanks for the link to the review. Mapman I have checked out the mhdt NOS DACs and the reviews. It seems all the reviewers came to the same consensus concerning the sonic characteristics of these DACs, excellent build quality, lack of di... | |
| Merlin Master Bam Alert Hi GloryFor your information I still have the VSM-M which was upgraded from the SE back in 2001 by Merlin. While I have gone back and forth on doing further upgrades I can honestly say that over the past 10 years I have been tempted to change spea... |
