| Krell 400xi vs NAD M3 vs Music Fidelity A5 vs Naim Those were all on my short list.Krell 400Xi - the one I went with. It has a Krell house sound that at first sounded overly forward but I grew to like it quite a bit and became a Krell convert. Very detailed and open soundstage. Clearly separates t... | |
| Eagles One of these Nights - run off area wording How many of you did the whole Beatles Paul is Dead trip? I confess. Still pretty cool all the clues and what not that went along with it even to this day. | |
| Best USB DAC with Grado Head phones Well, you might want to wait on the DAC1 Pre. Also check out head-fi.org. I think the USB/Itunes debacle was pretty much related to the windows software settings. It's basically an overblown issue that won't go away. Benchmark has more detail on t... | |
| Review: Rega Apollo CD Player Forgot to mention, the Arcam would bring that out more IMO. I've listened to Arcam several times and the detail was right on up there - to a fault actually. Intellectually my engineer brain said this it great but the Arcam left the rest cold. No w... | |
| Review: Rega Apollo CD Player The Stereophile review measurements said if anything there was slight rolloff at the top. That said, I have heard it on maybe 3 or 4 CDs out of my large collection. 10cc is one. In these cases on my system (Krell and Apollo) it's clearly the maste... | |
| Size matters...need smaller speakers I like the Aerial 5Bs. Quite a sound out of those. | |
| Can you test my internet radio station please What happened to the days when artists wanted their music played so they could sell albums? I rarely - almost never - buy something I hadn't heard. | |
| PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001 I'll put in my plug for the Marantz. I'm not familiar with latter day Onkyo but heard their stuff in the early 90s and wasn't too impressed with it. I bought a Denon and a Marantz sr-8000 in the late 90s. No question the Marantz was better than th... | |
| Upgrade a vintage preamp or buy new? Well, resale would be better on the c162 if you're going to eventually sell it. I think the sound would be better on the upgrade. NAD is ok for what it is but I had the C162 and wasn't all that impressed especially after what what's been written a... | |
| the best music dvd video?? Well the old classics are The Eagles and Peter Frampton. The Eagles for sound - it's hard to beat that one - and Frampton because of the good show he put on. You used to couldn't walk into a place that sold middle and high-end equipment in the 90s... | |
| Brand preference and opinions I'd listen to the brands first. Sure take the brand name into account as resale is something to consider. But like the cars MB, BMW, Audi, Lexus, Infiniti all have very different driving characters and interiors. I couldn't stand a Lexus or Infini... | |
| Build my own speakers? A friend of mine is an avid DIY speaker builder. I've seem him go to extraordinary lengths to build the "best" speakers possible - special cabinets, exotic drivers, very detailed work on crossovers, sophisticated design software, hi-tech measuring... | |
| Need help Cary CD-308 or Naim CD5i Again like a lot of things a matter of personal preference. The Cary much to my suprise is a great sounding player. Very good on bass. But the Naim, well, it's hard to beat their stuff. Detailed and just perfectly delicate sounding. I'd probably g... | |
