| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? When you're in a concert hall (reflected) music is coming to you from all angles as well. A MCH system is better capable of recreating this acoustic environment than 2 channel. Of course, this is not the same as some old quad mix with guitars blar... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? The notion that 2 channel is inherently better for music reproduction is ludicrous. A well recorded discrete 5.1 mix of the same content sound far better than the same material mixed in stereo. This is true even when you do the comparison on simil... | |
| SSP as 2-Channel Preamp With Sub??? Hooper,The Casablanca's top of the line Xtreme cards are very good, but in my experience not competitive with the Perfect Wave DAC (I have both) for 2 channel. In fact, even the Marantz ud9004 sounds better analog over the Theta six shooter MCH pr... | |
| SHM SACD's need to be burned in This claim is taking voodoo high-end to a whole new level. Thenagain, my CD demagnetizer worked so why wouldn't SACD burn in! | |
| SSP as 2-Channel Preamp With Sub??? At least one SSP has a crossover in the analog domain (in addition to digital), which will do what you want - the ADA Mach IV. There may be others. | |
| Perfect Wave DAC and Bridge Before running out to get a Synology NAS please be advised that it may be a good NAS, but the build in UPNP server is essentially useless for usage with TagNPlay (I have a synology NAS myself). Not a problem for me because I run assetUPNP on a PC ... | |

| Big Blue Tenor Sax You may want to check out Joshua Redman then. | |
| transparent cable sound signature I just added a TA reference speaker cable (I am using one reference IC). To me the two most striking characteristics are (1) articulate and deep bottom end - adding the two cables did more for LF response than my JL 113 subwoofer. (2) dynamics - p... | |
| Big Blue Tenor Sax I forgot to mention Charles Lloyd. Released on ECM, which is a guarantee for stellar sound quality. Very different from your run of the mill bob or west coast stuff. Blends different styles and musical influences. Contemplative, introspective and ... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records For what its worth - during my recent Koln Concert exploits on hdtracks I discovered the acclaimed Jasmine album is also available in 96/24. This being a fairly recent recording, the higher resolution probably pays big dividends here. | |
| Big Blue Tenor Sax You can get older higher quality recordings. Art Pepper has 7 albums out on SACD, all of which sound excellent. Never mind he is also a superb player, offering plenty slow ballads to boot. | |
| Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert out on 96/24 Listened to the 96/24 version last night and was mildly disappointed about the improvement. On a positive note, I always thought the 35 year old recording was stellar on CD, and at par with far more recents recordings such as the Scala concert. On... | |
| Keith Jarrett - Koln Concert out on 96/24 I guess I did not really do the album justice by using (and misspelling) this term. From www.urbandictionary.com:1. impactfulSeptember 23, 2009 Urban Word of the Day A non-existent word coined by corporate advertising, marketing and business drone... | |
| Best Keith Jarrett records See my other thread on this subject. The Koln Concert is out on 96/24 on HDTracks. A must have for Jarrett afficionados. |
