Blues recommendations anyone?

Blues recommendations anyone?
ever hear of Billy Holiday? You couldn't start with better. Anything. She only had a one octave range, but man what she could do with a song...try Light'ning Hopkins/Go'in Away. Belafonte Sings the Blues is another nice one to start with, as well.... 
Denon 3910 or Denon DVP 3910
John Tucker, the Exemplar man himself, is recovering from a bad car accident. He won't be back at his bench, I'm told for about 6 weeks. I believe he has people doing the work? Not really sure of much. peace, warren :)

Chuckie, do your homework on all the mods you're thinking about, as well as talk to audiophools who own them. You can always call 711smilin. Steve has owned all of them and can give you the scooop on each. Bottom line: he'll tell you that they are...

Chuckie, if this thread goes by the way side drop me an email in a few weeks and I'll let you know the scoop....peace, warren :) 
Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know?
AM has been dramatic in my system. No, I haven't heard the AM with my Exemplar so I'll let you know when I know. The detail of the Exemplar should only get better/refined, not worse. I have never heard of any Audio Magic Digital having a deleterio... 
Is a Hydra the real deal? How do you know?
The Hydra 2 is good. I personally am not into good. The Audio Magic Mini Digital is hands down the best conditioner for a cdp, that I have ever heard. I have a Hydra 2, so I have been able to compare both. I'm waiting for delivery for my brand spa...

I on the other hand believe going with a "mod" is the best way to go. First and foremost is finding a reliable modder with a known rep. I'm waiting on delievery of my Emexexmplar 3910. Surely, superior to the 3910. Once you listen to the Exemplar ... 
Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor - Subwoofer ?
Go with 2 subs whichever you choose.... 
SACD Player Shootout
"devoid of self control" I can relate. It's never because I'm not happy with the sound. Not at this level. It is that I want to be happier. It's this audiophoolishness. Crazy. I am very psyched about the DVD-A recommendation. I love Fagan, so this... 
SACD Player Shootout
Tvad, since you have gone the "mod" way, and I am doing the same, I was wondering how you feel after owning your cdp for a while,-- why(maybe you have) when over time additional upgrades have been developed, (supposedly adding more to the sound qu... 
SACD Player--Finally
I ordered The Nightfly on DVD-A. Looking forward to it. thanks again Grant...peace, warren 
SACD Player--Finally
Tvad, DVD-A? I'm not sure what that is. Is that the audio part of my DVD, or is it a specific recording? I've heard of these, but never followed up. I know the Denon can play them, so I'm veeerrryyyy interested, now. Please enlighen me. warren 
Speaker Distortion or Room Interaction ?
Doesn't sound like room acoustics/interactions at all. Jond said it: "clipping" IMO. 
Review: ZU Loudspeaker and Cables Definition Speaker
Check out the "request to hear the Definitions" thread. Phil, 213Cobra, has made some west coasters an offer that they cannot refuse. Very cool...check out all the posts on that thread...
