| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Alex,What can I say? I'm pretty busy as well. The next time you want to save face, however, you could just respond directly to my e-mails, which you still have not done.I know, everyone does business in his/her own way. I'm just a stickler when it... | |
| Any Meat Puppets Fans Out There? One of the best live bands EVER! Curt Kirkwood is a guitar god. He used to say that his brother Chris (bass) was a better guitarist than he. Unfortunately, their studio albums were generally sleepy in comparison with their live performances, and t... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Speaking of Alex, is he generally pretty responsive? I've written him twice over the past week, and have not heard back. I wanted to pass by his shop on Thursday for an audition of a modded unit, but it looks like that may not happen now.This is a... | |
| Best tracks to "show off" your system Jjwa,Ditto. | |
| Speakers for vocalists SET and horns. Everything else sounds like music from a box to my ear. Just heard Avantgarde's the other day, and I swear it sounded like a live concert, especially on a CD of a gospel choir. I've heard planars, electrostatics, and ultra-high end ... | |
| Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax We have a SET amp/horn system. Did not care for the AP Solo Crystal IC's. Liked the AU24's better. Still, we find silver to be the best. Verastarr now makes a copper cable that outshined both the AP or AU24 in every way possible: better clarity, a... | |
| Tube Amps As Alex & Sdcampbell both said, the Quicksilver products are superb. Their Mini-Mono's have a very open sound, eerily close to that of SET (single ended triode), which has an intimate, holographic midrange. You can use a variety of tubes with ... | |
| Guilty Pleasures? Tripper,You must also have the entire Richard Clayderman collection, no? | |
| Tube Amps What type of music do you generally listen to? That also will play a big part in whether or not the tubes will be appropriate for your tastes, and help pinpoint which tube amps you might want to consider.Let us know what kind of music you generall... | |
| Speaker Cable to Replace Zu Cable Wax In my system, the inexpensive Signal Cable copper speaker cable outperformed both the Wax and the Q-10. The music was far more engaging with the Signal Cable than with either of the other two, both of which made the music sound sluggish and veiled... | |
| What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks? I'm hiring a crane to hoist away Albert Porter's listening room (along with its contents) to my favorite seaside town in Italy. | |
| Best live album you've ever heard? Alice in Chains--Unplugged (A surprisingly good reference CD)Tony Williams in Tokyo | |
| How much does your system retail for? http://www.brillig.com/debt_clock/ | |
| Springsteen reissued? Hhmmm Maybe it was in response to Ronald Reagan's comment that the Springsteen album 'Nebraska' "really expresses the true spirit of America."Ronnie made a whoops! | |
| Music for the spirit and the soul I think someone may have mentioned this before--sorry, I'm too lazy to reread all of the posts--but the music to "Tous les Matins du Monde" (orchestration by Jordi Savall) is extraordinary as well. |
