| The Blues.... Funny. As an eclectic music lover that appreciates the blues among many other styles of music, let me offer an "outsider" observation. I walked into a Buddy Guy show in the Legend club in Chicago this january (one of the temples of Blues in the co... | |
| B&W 802 and Stillpoints Marc, I installed my Ultra's directly on the carpet as advised by Bruce @ Stillpoints. Works beautifully, more detail, and cleaner sound. Never expected this much improvement. I am using them with Verity Audio Parsifals. I am about to order anothe... | |
| Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals Tubegroover, when I posed my original question I was not aware of the Ultra's and considering to do what you are doing, i.e. put two stands under my Verities and use dampers and risers. I found out about the Ultra's and Bruce @ stillpoint confirme... | |
| Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals Installed 8 ultra's aluminum under my Verities. Note that I always assume all tweaks are snakeoil until proven otherwise and sat down with zero expectations. Also I have had little succes with vibration control so far in my system. I am happy to r... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 It would be interesting to line up the XA5400 against the $1000 Marantz SA8004 (which just got a rave review in TAS), and say the new Oppo 95 when it comes out. in general, I find shootout type reviews (i.e. line up a few contenders in a component... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I think the best analogy is Pizza, because it is an "upgradeble" dish. Say you love Pizza quatro stagioni. So you find this Pizzeria Danielo which has stellar online reviews and four Zagat stars to boot. Of course, on a first visit you order the $... | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 I'm with mr Tennis on this one. He is not necessarily buying the "mod". He is in the market for a tube player and has a budget of $3,500. So you look at the contenders in this space and a modded sony is one of them. He is not interested in a $1,50... | |
| Kef 205/2 Primare, Have you done direct A/B comparison between PS audio power products and Shuyata? I have no experience with the latter, but to me PS audio are the only power products that did anything for me (I had Furman Reference and Stealth conditioner... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? After seeing tonights show I think that anyone claiming Jakob has no talent has foreever qualified him/herself as a moronic tonedeaf idiot, that has no business going anywhere near an audio system or live musical performance.I'm sure our friend sc... | |
| To mod or not to mod a Sony SCD1 Case in point of modding economics. You buy a a "build like a tank" $1500 SCD-1 and do $3000 worth of mods. Your $4500 modded player now has a resale value of $2500. Alternatively, you can buy a used "build like a tank" Emm labs CDSA se for $5000.... | |
| What`s your fave Audiophile Chill Out recording? Check out the "Favourite ECM Titles" thread. All audiophile recordings and lots of "chill out" music. This would be chilling out of herbal tea sipping variety though.Chilling out of the "coming down after a night of clubbing" variety calls for an ... | |
| To mod or not to mod a Sony SCD1 I used to be a big time modder, but moved away from it completely and here is why. The econmoics don't work. You will take a hit of 75% on most any mod - i.e. you spend $1000 bucks on a mod and you loose $750 when you resell the modded piece. If y... | |
| Would adding a Dac improve the sound for my setup? Without the benefits of having heard any of your components, a do know from personal experience that upgrading your DAC is one of the best bang for the buck moves you can make, so you would probably get a big boost out of a new $1,000 DAC. Another... | |
| Stillpoint component stand with Verity Parsifals Decided to forgo the stands and just ordered 8 x Stillpoints Ulta Aluminum. Let's see of good things will happen to my speakers. | |
| Aesthetix Calypso or Pass Labs Preamp Guys, thanks for all the input. I ended up getting an XP-10. I have yet to find anyone that has anything negative to say about this amp, while the Calypso appears to have both die hard fans and detractors. I should have my XP-10 in a week or so. E... |
