| World Cup of Audio Ok, Audiogoners we need to see some serious competitive systems for the Cup from France, Italy, Japan, Canada(?!), Switzerland, and some more from Germany, U.S.A., and the U.K. Any from the former Soviet bloc? How about regional systems in the U.S... | |
| World Cup of Audio Two more rules:No wageringNo excessive consumption of alcohol...but you can tear off your jersey after you vote. | |
| Laptop for Auditioning Equipment at Dealer? Some very good options, thanks. Armed with these I should be able to use the MacBook to play though most DACs, and audition speakers too. Much better than hauling around stacks of CD's! | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2005 BMW X5 3.0 | |
| Gene Pitney RIP All great songs, thank you one and all. I just listened to I'm Gonna Be Strong--wow, what a dramatic, powerful voice and song. Zaikesman, thanks also for the Pitney trivia, which I did not know. Pawlowski6132, you really should listen to some of h... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Eggleston Works Andra II The conclusion one could draw from the posts thus far is that both speakers have their supporters, with different rationales offered for their preference. The best advice is to do extensive listening tests with your favorite music in your own home... | |
| USB digital ouput or Toslink from a Mac Mini? Couldn't you just use an Airport Express to wirelessly send music from your Mac to the AE and then Toslink from AE to the Denon? I do this with my iMac to a TriVista and the quality of sound is indistinguishable from playing the CD in the TriVista... | |

| What is the best Frank Sinatra CD? One frquently overlooked Siatra CD with outstanding sonics and performance is Only the Lonely. I assure you this is a "must have" for Sinatra fans, or anyone who loves beautiful, heartfelt music. | |
| Is there a differenc between McCormack DNA125&225 Modesty prevents Steve from saying this, but you should know that his modifications to a DNA 125 or 225 are HUGE improvements over the stock models. This observation will, I feel certain, be confirmed by others who have been the beneficiaries of t... | |
| Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario Addendum: Musical preferences= good PRAT, clarity of mid-range for reproduction of voices, including massed voices, good bass for classical orchestral fundmentals, good dynamics. Don't need razor sharp imaging, or exagerated depth, or "analytical"... | |
| Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario I 'm sure that changing to the Von Schweikert's would be a step up from the Vandy's if I got in the $20k+ range of the line, however, they won't clear the WAF hurdle that initiated this quest to replace the 5's. My musical preferences are jazz, cl... | |
| Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario Jonathan, thanks for that insight. After reading your response and hearing from Glide2 (who I think you know), I've decided to remove the Kharmas from the list. He suggested adding the Wilson Benesch, which I haven't seen, but plan on looking to s... | |
| Kharma CRM3.2 FE vs Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario Downunder, I love the 5's and the upgrade to the 5a's would be a very cost effective way of improving the sound even more. The reason I'm interested in changing speakers is that as we have improved our living room decor my wife has become increasi... |
