| Bagpipes anyone? Check whether AR RE YAOUANK are your cup of tea (cider much more, they are from Brittany). They transformed traditional breton music to a degree where it can really rock.First time we heard them they had just released their album Troisième Acte fe... | |
| Best CD player $500 or less used Hi Arthur, I see you've got the AA Prima 24/192 MkII. I'm eyeing a used Prima 24/192 in the MkI version presently. Have you ever heard that one, any comparison possible with the MkII?Karel | |
| Advice on power cables Last question first: Yes I do believe it will. But you know the proof of the pudding is in the eating, and very much so with powerd cords. Have you already tried either of the cords you have on audition?Considering the prices you mention, I would ... | |
| Best CD player $500 or less used For that money, I'd try to find an Audio Refinement Complete. Depending on personal taste, you may also want to have a look (better a listen, if at all possible) at the Opera Consonance cd120. Less musical flow i.m.o., better detail, others will h... | |
| Best Monitor Speaker? Try to get your hands on a used Chario Constellation Lynx or even Delphinus. I had the small floorstander Cygnus for exactly the kind of music you describe (with the exception of big band, I admit).http://www.chario.it/product.php?prod=1&lang=... | |
| German Magazine review Lexicon RT-20 April '06 Issue 2/2006, I regret I haven't got that one, and the article is not downloadable. If you can't get hold of a translation elsewhere, scan and mail it to me.Karel | |
| German Magazine review Lexicon RT-20 April '06 Which magazine would that be, Psacanli? Stereoplay did a review but that was end 2005. | |
| The best hifi magazine? Not claiming this to be one of the best (actually new to me until yesterday), but interesting information including some products not found elsewhere in this Polish magazine:http://www.highfidelity.pl/!ev/start.html 2 years archives on the web in ... | |
| Balanced Cable recommendations for Ayre equipment I had an Ayre CX-7 and an AX-7e that I sold only last week. I had tried a few XLR-cables between the two and got the best (i.e. best micro-dynamics, best bass, no grain) results with Virtual Dynamics Nite. Unfortunately, the new Nite Platinum seri... | |
| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? Hi Pedrillo, I'll have another go. My favorite remains Tidal but here are a few more brands for your next list, worthy of Audiogoners' interest. A wildly varying bunch, but each one will appeal to a different sonics/price/tec-specs/looks preferenc... | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? Lua Appasionato MkIII had a rave review in the German magazine "Stereo" (trustworthy imo) but I have never heard it. As far as general statements have any validity, then, I have found Lua gear to be euphonic (eú-phonos: I use the term without any ... | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? Clavil,Now that is an excellent question! I still have an 11y old Jadis JD3 (one box cdp without tubes) in the second system. This player kept the edge over the likes of Burmester 001, Accuphase DP-78 and DCS P8i when I started auditioning for a n... | |
| the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ? I'll open the ball with a player about which much has been written the last couple of months AMR CD 77(whereby I take for granted 1) that you're looking for the "warmth" of human performance, not coloration or even tonal distortion, and 2) you do ... | |
| Lector CDP 7 Mk I, II or III ? Much obliged, thank you very much! I'm located in Germany, otherwise I would probably have jumped on the Agon offer. By the way, contrary to what I said before I found out Lector is distributed in Germany after all. Price for the Mk III over here ... | |
| So whats your favorite music themed movie? BLOWUP !!! Score by Herbie Hancock, but that Yardbirds' performance really took the cake. |
