Help me identify a song I'm desperate
Amazon seems to be the only place selling the video documentary and there is no information about the contributors on Amazon's site. Amazon lists the Studio that created the DVD set as Image Entertainment. Searching for Image Entertainment only br... 
A few impressions from the CES/THE Shows
Have you listened to any Sonus Faber's? I've never heard any myself but everything you describe screams of what Ive read about the Sonus Faber designs. I recall some stereophile measurements showing a nice hump in the region you're talking about. ... 
5 CD's on your current "permanent " rotation.
In no particular order.1: AKUS - Now that Ive found you. Anything Allison Krauss is fine with me. 2: John Lennon - Imagine. I cant explain "Oh Yoko" but it puts me in a great mood, its so jammin.. prat I think. Much more to explore with these guys... 
B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia?
On the subject of "midrange suckout" try aiming Wilsons at a point behind the listener for a prime example. This speaker really needs to be aimed at the listener.B&W's arent as picky on setup as the Wilsons with regards to midband performance.... 
If Thiel, Wilson, Sonus, made active speakers?????
Umm, its "Bowers and Wilkins".. also "Martin Logan"..Bueller? Im sure Matthew Broderick would be proud.As for active vs passive. Both can sound great! Both can sound horrid! Digital amplification in its various forms will drive active speaker deve... 
Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs
Ozzy you do realize the same guy that mastered the DCC golds mastered the SACD's? I doubt Steve Hoffman would agree with you on that last statement about the golds being better than the SACD's :)Enjoy them none the less. 
Not happy with Krell SACD
Even after the player is well broken in, be SURE you warm it up before each session, or just leave it on. Somebody above already mentioned this but its very important. The player will not operate optimally until the temperature of all working part... 
Vandersteen Quatro speaker - link to info
I'm a bit upset this speaker seems to be nothing more than a scaled down (size) version of 3Asigs + 2wq's. You lose two 8" base drivers and gain room correction. Sure its a compact package but I was honestly hoping this speaker would bridge the pe... 
Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System
This is interesting. Audioquest has now doubled the voltage of the IC's. Jaguar - Cheetah moves to 24v, Sky moves to 48v. Anyone have an opinion on this? I've heard the 12v Jaguar and Panther and felt the Panther was the equal of the Anaconda in s... 
need more smoothness
Some of the smoothest sounding speakers available use metal tweeters. All metal does not resonate at the same frequency. Metal can be treated to alter its resonate characteristics. etc etc.You really need to list your entire system. Also a detaile... 
Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers
Bigtee the information sheet from CES said two 8" drivers driven by a 350w amp. Themadmilkman mentioned this already in this thread. I confirmed this with a dealer so it looks legit. Ya never know though these speaker people like to make last minu... 
Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers
It's actually two powered 8" drivers Bigtee. I honestly hope this thing is a model5 from the midbass up. Looking at the depth of the Quatro confirms more in common with the 5 than the 3. If you put it all together considering price point it makes ... 
Vandersteen-like "In-between" speakers
Motdathird, After reading a little more on this new Vandersteen I still believe its worth waiting for an audition. The show reports seem promising. Soundstage and Positive-Feedback approved of the sound for what it's worth. I can't wait to actuall... 
About the EMM Labs DAC
Why on earth doesn't EMM Labs liscense the Technology? Do you realize the killing this guy could make with the right deals? Meitner seems too busy for a consumer level product even if it is ultra high end. Why not allow other manufacturers the cha... 
Should audiophiles be disappointed?...
Read up on Dynaudio DDC. 2nd paragraph of this link gives a brief description. I believe the product brochure has a more detailed explaination.http://www.dynaudiousa.com/products/confidence/c2/c2ovr.htmVedric
