| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... In my experience SACD is much better than Redbook, but only under the right circumstances. Old remastered junk thrown onto SACD is generally not very good, or marginally better than redbook.SACDs that are mastered correctly, or those that are done... | |
| Good sound possible on a bookshelf? There are speakers specifically designed to be used against the wall, so for those speakers this set up is not a terrible compromise. I have seen them in different places, but don't recall what brand or model they were. A little homework will reap... | |
| Pass X250:does it hum thru RCA's like Krell KSA? I used RCA ICs on my old Krell amp and never had any hum, so it's hard to know what to advise. Why is your amp humming? | |
| Audiogon Newsletter I think it's a scam -- so make sure you don't sign up for the power supply giveaway!!!I'm trying to figure out how to submit more entries. | |
| SACD on its way out? Based on everything I've seen and heard the chances of SACD outlasting DVD-A is pretty good. DVD-A seems to be floundering while there are serious efforts on the part of companies like Harmon International to incorporate SACD into integrated autom... | |
| hi I'm italian Hi, I'm not! There are several very good Italian speakers although I don't know what the cost would be in Euros, since the pricing is much different than the US price. There are very many good European electronics companies. Germany, France, and t... | |
| Replacement a Grace 707 arm I replaced a Grace 707 with a Rega arm and was very happy with the results. The grace is quite dated and the Rega's are a good value for the $$$. | |
| High Gloss Wood Finish - High-End or Low Class? Anyone who has done any wood working will appreciate the effort put into these cabinets.As far as the Art Deco look, they might not be exactly what was available at the time, but that does not mean that they will not coordinate with your furniture... | |
| Krell KSL-2 any good? KSL-2, or KRC-2? The Krc is a lot newer and better. The KSL series is about ten years old. $1000 for a KSL sounds real high, but that is a good price for a KRC-2. | |
| Wisconsin - Anyone interested? The meeting went off without a hitch. There were three people that have not attended one of these listening session/meetings before, and it was fun to meet some new people.There is serious interest in establishing a Wisconsin Audiophile Society. O... | |
| What concert or music DVD's are worth having? I have seen some of these. The concert for George was really good. The Band "Last Waltz" was good, if not dated. I'm interested in the Steely Dan. Anymore ideas? | |
| Review: Magnepan MG-3.6r Speaker What's going on with your cross-over upgrade? I haven't heard anything for a couple of weeks. | |
| Big Stupid Warm Speakers I don't recall the model, but B&W made a speaker a number of years ago that had woofers about the size of a VW Beatle. They are anything buy bass-shy.Squidboyw has a pair in his system. Check them out, you might be able to lay your hands on a ... | |
| best rock voices Dfrigovt that was Jim Dandy Mangrum, though I'm not sure of the spelling of the last name. I saw them in concert in 1978 opening for Blue Oyster Cult.I'm pleasantly surprised to see several mentions of Ronnie James Dio. He is definately the best s... | |
| Cd player direct or through preamp? As mentioned, if all you listen to are CD (in which case I pity you, but that's life) and you have the variable output you should be okay. Have you checked into the output impedence of your CDP, and checked to see what your amp prefers? |
