| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Mine is "Direct to Disc" by Toronto band FM. An instrumental electronic kind of Jazz fusion feel I've always loved for it's truly original and different sound. 2 tracks only,, "Headroom I Tyra Reflection" and "Border Crossing I the first movement ... | |
| CD Transport Question +1 (2, 3 or 4 or wherever we are at) the AudioLab 6000CDT. A true transport with just digital out, no built-in DAC. They concentrated on the power supply and delivery. And as far as the slot loading mech scratching disks? That's just nit-pickers ... | |
| What’s your latest high-end audio purchase? Dual SVS SB1000 pro subs. Replaced a single Velodyne CT-100. | |
| Direct Drive Nice vintage DD deck to consider also is the Sony ps-x50 (60 and 70 also, with rising price of course). It has the legendary PUA-7 tonearm. I own one and love it. | |

| Basic question about power/watts Watts is not just about getting loud. Its how it sounds as you turn it up. Even normal listening volume will sound better cuz the cleaner, faster, The watts have an easier path and usually with fewer things to get in the way. Thats what a good qua... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Frank Zappa - Jazz from Hell ( not what you expect) And Daniel Lanois - Acadie And Daniel Lanois - Omni Series | |
| Owning Up To It @ozzy62 Oops, yes.got my replacement lead singers mixed up. Must be the beer(s). | |
| Owning Up To It AC/DC, 1989, Maple Leaf Gardens Toronto. Loved the band/music. Dead boring show. Loud but no energy,, none. Lead singer (Hagar I think) steeps forward 5 feet, does lyric,,, steeps back 5 feet. Angus steep forward 5 feet. Wail on guitar. Stepp back... | |
| Has anyone had on of these CD players? How good are they? If you can get it for say $300 CDN or less, go for it. If any more I'd definitely recommend the AudioLab 6000CDT. Not a lot of money (got mine used for $550 CDN) and its wonderful, and new/current. No built in DAC so transport only focused on powe... | |
| What is a good turntable preamp under $500? Yes, upgrade TT first. Then get a equally expensive phono preamp (or an newer integrated amp with phono stage). Throwing $500 at just a new phono preamp probably will keep you wondering/expecting more. Original OP question: get a used "ifi phono2... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark Just the fact that your asking this question you've answered it yourself. You feel cheated. Trade them for the floor model. If they won't, you've Becker up your suspicions. It would be interesting to see if they use the MIC as floor/demo models. | |
| Help me choose speakers I'd be comfortable recommending the PolkAudio LSiM703 bookshelves. Very placement friendly with the rear powersport and wonderful warm sound. And affordable. Don't poo poo on them just cuz they are Polk, they really are worth con soderation. | |
| The vanishing stereo rack If that picture is the future, count me OUT. What a HORRIBLE looking room to have any experience in. | |
| Best streamer for a returning audio guy Surprised no one has suggested the AudioLab 6000N. I have one and feel the sound quality is brilliant, and its not expensive. Wonderful DAC in it. If you just want to get a quick "feel" for streaming, get a bluetooth receiver like the "1Mii Bluet... |
