| Why Don't More People Love Audio? Most people don't know that high end audio exists. Seriously, to them top of the line is something from Wally world, Best buy (Bose), Target. However, that doesn't mean they don't love audio. Most people love music, they just either can't afford o... | |
| Classic rock remasters.....24 bit/SACD The Animals sacd hybrid is good, also ACDC remasters at least "Back in Black" and "Highway to Hell" (only ones i got). One that I don't think is a re-master but is very good is "One foot in the Blues" by ZZ Top. For a change of pace I like the Gue... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... The thing about vinyl is, if it's a good recording i don't even notice the clicks, pops, etc. A well recorded album is wonderful. Unfortunately, a lot of them aren't. | |
| What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean? Gee whiz. Irrational? I never said I know the "be all and end all of record cleaning." I simply stated that some posters had expressed concerns about the chemicals whatever in what I understand to be something more than my simple inexpensive way t... | |
| sacd,vinyl, and rebook.... I don't have a sacd player. I have bought some hybrids, though, because I've heard the cd layer is usually the best sounding version, compared to other redbook issues. I've found this, so far, to be true. In addition, I can at some point buy a sac... | |
| What do you do when nothing seems to get LP clean? I've been thinking of trying some of the more exotic/expensive record cleaning fluids. However, it seems from this thread that there is some concern about the long term effects of the chemicals, enzymes, whatever that are in these cleaners. Anothe... | |
| Favorite SACD's It get's better. Now they are releasing dual format. This is a 5" disc with cd on one side and dvd on the other. Just heard about this the other day. Cheers | |
| Why so much???? Too much is keeping music you don't, and won't ever like. Edesilva hit the nail on the head, sometimes you have to look quite awhile to find something to play that hits the spot. For example, I have a traveling cd case of 200 discs. Sometimes I ca... | |
| Chord 64, ECD-1, Audio Logic, Dodson DAC opinions I have a friend who owns the Chord and also has coincident speakers. I listened to his system when he didn't have the Chord, but a Wadia. I thought it sounded absolutely outstanding (he also has Atmosphere tube equipment). He says that since he ad... | |
| Mark Knopfler Shangri La on sa-cd All the Dire Straits/Knopfler cd's I heard have good music/excellent sound. Mark Knopfler is one of the most consistently good and tasteful artists out there today. He is a great guitarist, but only plays what is necessary, which in my opinion mak... | |
| Tift Merritt Bramble Rose is great, music and recording. From what I've read here so far, Tambourine isn't as good. Is it more mainstream, poor songwriting, or what specifically is wrong with it? | |
| Food for thought/Opinions please I think the young live more in an age of instant gratification. The payoff has to be now. There isn't time to relax and enjoy something like a symphony. Heck, how many younguns do you know who sit and listen to music, as opposed to having headphon... | |
| Can Rock-N-Roll have great sound quality? I like a lot of the rock recordings. I've found that the early cd editions of classic rock were mostly bad, low recorded level and dynamics, however most re-masters sound good to me. Examples are the The Jimi Hendrix Experience box set, the Buffal... | |
| White Stripes... I've probably heard some of their songs on the radio, but I couldn't tell you the name of any of them. I thought about buying their latest, but haven't and don't know that i will. | |
| What do you NEVER want to hear again??? Bye bye Miss American pie, the worst "too long" song ever? It seems to never end. Most rap. Loverboy, the worst rock band ever? Van Halen, good musicians, horrible songwriters! Moody Blues, bombastic drivel. All light jazz, Brittany, Justin, and o... |
