| Playback Designs MPS-5 CD/SACD Player Some questions came up over in another forum that I thought might be of interest here:"how this player compares to other players. What I care about is how it renders acoustic instruments. Does it get the violin right with the correct balance of fu... | |
| Buying used old cables 06-28-08: Bobgates said:"I've had the copper strands inside Monster cable turn green after having it for a year or so; probably caused by oxidation."Wow, that's still going on. They had that problem decades ago when they first came out. That's not... | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. When you find vocalists that you like, let us know and we might be able to add to your list of possibilities.Dave | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. I'm here to try to answer Gawdbless' questions about jazz artists that he might like, not Oem's and certainly not the tangental Alnolan.Dave | |
| REVIEW: Oppo DV980H Hey Dog_or_man, yes, I'm one and the same Dcstep.I think that Marantz is clearly one of the best values for the money. At $360 street price, the Pioneer Elite DV-58AV is also a great value with a much slicker user interface than the Oppo.Dave | |

| Jazz artists for late starter. Seditious3 said:"Django Reinhart/Stephane Grappelli"I love this stuff. Stephane's later stuff with artists like Martin Taylor are much better recorded and still in the same "spirit of Django".Dave | |

| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Well, many of us think that good tube pre-amps are not superior to good SS pre-amps. I think SS gets a bad rap because bad SS tends to sound worse than bad tube equipment and at the lower end of the price scale both are pretty limited.Dave | |
| REVIEW: Oppo DV980H I've had great experience with my two 981HDs. The upconverting video is good and the two-channel sound gives an excellent price/performance ratio. I didn't install any firmware upgrades, nor feel any need to.My Playback Designs MPS-5 blows the Opp... | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. I receive enjoyment from being clear and helping others with their questions. Oem basically said that any album by any dead jazz musician would likely please Gawdbless. I beg to differ. This isn't a poll, the OP issued a request for suggestions wi... | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. I don't need to make any arguement. Your assertion that all great and innovative jazz artists are dead is absurd and rediculous.Dave | |
| Jazz artists for late starter. I was merely commenting on your dead vs. alive musical test. Gawdbless told us what he didn't like, so I was suggesting that we fit our suggestions within his stated preferences.So, Roy Hargrove, Dave Douglas, Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell and Enrico ... | |
| A good DAC: AN kondo, dCS or EMM labs ? Thanks Drubin, that now makes more sense to me.Dave |
