| What is your favorite cover? Lisa Bassenge Trio's cover of James Brown's I Feel Good. Excellent, and especially on a good system! | |
| What is your favorite cover? I have a real soft spot for Incognito's cover (with Mario Bondi) of Boz Scaggs' Lowdown... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHnsBZ_kL0I | |
| Japan purchases For Japanese auctions, I have used this proxy service for years. Excellent, and recommended. Very quick shipping to the U.S., and, for some reason, deep FedEx discounts. https://www.fromjapan.co.jp/en | |
| Transport Question I have a 260d and find it to be excellent in terms of design, build quality and responsiveness. Previously, I owned an Electrocompaniet EMC-1up, which was also first-rate, but as I was using its built-in DAC, and am now using an external (Denagrip... | |
| Forum Updates 11/24/2021 How about this bug fix, any headway? So annoying... Thanks, I don't blame Tammy, but it is shocking that this issue hasn't yet been resolved. | |
| Audio nonsense When serious and valuable contributors such as @grannyring are packing up and heading elsewhere, the owner(s) and Mods would be well-advised to sit up and pay attention. | |
| Von schweikert out of business since Albert's passing? I find it remarkable that any company would rely on Facebook as its primary, or, worse yet, sole business platform. I have never used FB, and am certainly not alone. | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… And yet another new review... https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2022/02/04/circle-labs-a200-integrated-amplifier-review/ A bit too much about the aesthetics, IMO, but joins the others in terms of it being overwhelmingly positive. | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? I might be mistaken but I thought Harbeth had moved its manufacturing to China, sharing the same manufacturing facility as Quad. I don't think that is correct. But it would depend what you mean by "manufactured", as some individual parts may we... | |
| Experience with XRCDs Blue Note Hank Mobley Soul Station – outstanding! | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? What is it about the construction or technology that makes these speakers a deal at $2700 on sale versus the $800, 900 or $1,000 that others normally cost? That's a straw man, as I don't recall anyone raving about the great value of Harbeths, ... | |
| Opinions on the SimAudio Moon 260D CD player/transport? I have been using a Kimber 2120 cable to connect my 260DT to my Pontus II DAC from the beginning, so I only know, and am quite happy with the AES sound. | |
| Opinions on the SimAudio Moon 260D CD player/transport? @stuartk Thanks. I have been very happy with the performance of the 260D. Responsive, dead-quiet, and user-friendly. I have recently upgraded my amp, and am awaiting delivery of a new pair of speakers, but feel no need to change transports at t... | |
| Mark Levinson Amps startup & shutdown operation. Specifically 532H but really any ML amp I sent it in for repair, after being told by ML that they would cover it under wtty, then they changed their mind. It's amazing how short-sighted companies can be, and this is a fine illustration. When, not if they lose a mere one or two sales ... | |
| Which Tweeter preferred- dome natural material, Beryllium/Metal or Planar Ribbon? Why? Arguably two of the best German speaker manufacturers, FinkTeam and Wolf von Langa, employ custom Mundorf AMT tweeters, and they sound fantastic. |
