| Audio Research CD2 randomly skips It may be that CD's are becomming the 8-track of "the new century"...the one that began in 2001....not 2000.Audiophile sonics and quality are not in keeping with the multi-channel/download mainstream. We must remember that one of the most successf... | |
| Quality of "Classic Jazz" CD by Sony How can the mfg. that helped invent the CD and SACD..that then buys Columbia, put out such poor sounding software?Every time I have bought a Sony/Columbia re-issue CD/SACD, even the early "Gold 20Bit" ones..they were always very unusual in their m... | |
| Want to get excited about SACD again?? Wait a min....anyone that's nuts about the 914 should be find SACD to be a natural fit!? Ever drive the 914-6? | |
| Want to get excited about SACD again?? When testing between a SACD and CD of the same title, you really need to have the redbook CD to compare the SACD to. Not just between the CD layer and the SACD layer. On all hybrids that I have and have the redbook CD of, the standard CD is obviou... | |
| Best way s to clean CD's? Any updates? Hey Jeffloistarca, you nailed it! My oldest son has been taking(more accurate than borrowing) my cds for about 4 years now. He is 17.I started him out listening to my system with Jazz, like Desmond, Baker, Ella, Sarah...and much more...but it paid... | |
| Want to get excited about SACD again?? Ben, I agree that Ms. Krall is not for everyone...inc. me. But until we have Sarah Vaughn, Ella and others on SACD my choices are limited.The only proof I have is the same I've had for the 30+ years that I have owned high-end audio...my own listen... | |
| Want to get excited about SACD again?? Hi Ben,You might try the Diana Krall "When I Look In Your Eyes", SACD non-hybrid, it comes the closest to answering your last sentence...and, I believe it's lack a being a hybrid is much of the reason why.I have the standard CD of this as well...a... | |
| Want to get excited about SACD again?? Ben, I agree with your thoughts. However, it could be this very path that Sony has taken is the problem. If they had just released SACD machines and SACD disks....and if because of this, they were more obviously superior..and the press and public ... | |

| Up and Over sampling EXACTLY the same thing The concern with the Redbook standard that Up, Over or Down sampling miss...is that the biggest concern with all of your/my/our CD players is still where it was when we were all buying Sonic Frontier, Levinson, Classe DAC's and things like the Gen... | |
| I am ready for TRUTH, I can handle the TRUTH I did a thread about this a year or so ago...but the thing that having a TV is an audio system that is the big concern..is your cable signal.I have never seen a cable feed that doesn't have serious noise and DC voltage on the ground. Once this DC ... | |
