| Do you like Mexican music?? Listened to some Los Lobos and some Los Lost Boys last night and confirmed that I still don't care for Mexican music. | |
| Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue "un-mastered" I have the Japanese XRCD version of this piece and it is quite good. I haven't listened to the un-mastered SACD version yet. | |
| USB DAC Dumb Check out the Mutec-3 or even less money the Mutec-1.2 | |
| Lo-Fi, Mid-Fi or Hi-Fi- What's your system and why? willywonka, I've tried most of what you are talking about, even had the multi-bit in my system. It's a good $300-$600 dac (however you have it configured) but the NuWave DSD DAC is so much better there is no comparison. I new I could never achieve... | |

| Dodgy - Audio dealers? If you don't feel comfortable with them, use someone you do feel comfortable with. | |

| Powerful, smallish floorstanders with high WAF? I have the Focal 918 profile' and went to the Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 in walnut and the wife was very pleased with the looks. In sonics, they are much livelier and balanced than the 918's. The bass is very similar, but the midrange is... beautiful.... | |
| Good looking Towers for < $2000? I recently bought the Sonus Faber Venere. I highly recommend this speaker. They are very easy on the eye's also. | |
| In a lot of these threads people say without the room being treated I made my own treatments and put them at the 1st and 2nd reflection points. Built frames to go around them and voilà. In a small room, treatments are critical. In a large room where you can set up a near field listening system, it's not as critica... |
