| Why can't all/most recordings be this good? Because they are, for starters, compressed. Maybe a new labeling requirement should be whether they are or not compressed. Often, if you compare an issued Cd againist the same music on an SACD, the difference will leap at you.Lastly, some engineer... | |
| Building a Music Room Now may be the ideal time, assuming you plan to stay in your house for at least five years, as the building trades are slow, so you could most likely get a great price. Consider making it a 'media' room to increase the WAF. I built a media room in... | |
| Glass&Steel and just ugly audio furniture With 'no mouth piece hovering over you', choices are much easier. Glass & Steel are out, entirely. While there are good choices in wood audio furniture, like those on the CayinUSA site, they tend to be expensive since none are produced in any ... | |
| Shopping for a new netbook or laptop... Be serious, pick the Mac, which is the choice of most people who are audio engineers. Audio software is mostly developed for the Mac. Don't even think about net's. One problem with the Mac, BluRay, which is where the future of high resolution soun... | |
| Phono Stage Question The audio research PH units let you change capacitance. The PH7 lets you do it on the fly, via remote control. I had a PH3SE and changing the capacitance was done changing the resistors. | |
| XLR waste of time ? And money, too. | |
| Oppo BDP-83SE or Sony SCD-XA5400ES? oppo SE, Sony not even close now. The balance on Sony, in my opinion does not add anything. It the chips, chips etc. You need to get up to $10K plus to beat the oppo. | |

| help w/amp demo What a way to go. Wish a had a 'Sounds Real' type dealer in my area, one that comes to your system. That is the best way to determine whether a significant improvement in your system sound can be achieved. | |
| Do subwoofers really help? Yes, especially dual units. | |
| Tape Project-Any reason so many tapes are showing Because the music content being released on these tapes is not appealing. Sound for sound sake does not make sense. This is especially true given the typical cost to find and upgrade a machine. A lot of great music was done in three channel and mi... | |

| Anybody with an expensive TT try this???? I have a ClearAudio Victory H cartridge, $2K in its new day, in a Aries/10.5/SDS etc. About two years ago I installed a Shure 97 NOS in the rig to see exactly what the difference would be. I purchased the 97 almost twenty years ago for $35. Was th... | |
| Tube Preamps Only trying a tube pre will tell. Time to visit a dealer and get a loaner. As you have done, only putting something in your chain will tell. Try to get two different loaner's, that way you can hear if it is 'tube' you are hearing as opposed to a j... |
