| What is CDE ?? Biem / stemra ??? If you purchased it around 1983 it must have been one of the very first CDs. I recall there have been severe mechanical problems after a few years with some of those. Something about the print destroying the information layer, perhaps someone can ... | |
| What is CDE ?? Biem / stemra ??? Do I understand it correct that you can't play the cd on the Wadia? That has nothing to do with BIEM/STEMRA, though.BIEM is the international recording rights organisation: Bureau International des sociétés gérant les droits d'Enregistrement et de... | |
| Echole Cables I know I have seen them listed in a few virtual system, give it a try there.Good luck | |
| Does anyone know these tubes? Perhaps I've been throwing in too much detail, it would be an extreme coincidence if anyone had tested exactly these tubes.I guess the core of the question is whether vacuum tubes General Electric built for the army in the early 80s are any good? | |
| Hobbies other than Audiophiliac? Wine and cooking (and related things). Sadly, two more hobbies intimately shared with my poor Rosemary and thus difficult to continue. | |
| Anybody Into St. Germain? Stevecham, have you heard Laurent Garnier (e.g. Public Outburst Live) and Le Peuple de l'Herbe (e.g. Radio Blood Money). With those, we're far away from St. Germain, but given your preference they might be of interest. | |
| Anybody Into St. Germain? They're brilliant! As to recommendations, urgently second Hifimaniac on Marc Moulin!www.marcmoulin.com/EnjoyKarel | |
| Power Cable with a "soft" top end Sorry, I was not trying to imply that softness is a general characteristic of DCCA cords. Instead, I wanted to draw attention to the fact that DCCA offer to tune their cords to specific needs, so I guess they can actually cater for softness if so ... | |
| Power Cable with a "soft" top end For what it's worth, since I've never had any DCCA cord in my system, but I keep reading they're excellent.From DCCA's website:quoteLet us make you a power cord to meet your needsunquote | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Anything with Antonio Forcione, the "Hendrix of the acoustic guitar". My personal favorite is "Live!" (on the Naim Label: http://www.thenaimlabel.com/)Something quite special: Wulfin Lieske, "What about this Mr. Tarrega?" (Tacet 65) on which Liesk... | |
| cables are they worth it? If you're considering to take the plunge (for this purpose I will presume you'll upgrade to the Symphonic Line or something similar as a new amp), don't do it half-heartedly. Having said that, $200 for an IC (or should that be EUR?) will certainly... | |
| "Budget" cable advice, please Difficult to give absolute recommendations since there is always a lot of 2nd hand, demo and factory sell-out stuff on offer. Then again often not just quite what you were looking for, which is where sellers become interesting that grant you a tri... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? Absolutely agree with Bob on the unbalanced outputs. | |
| Cable elevators - conventional wisdom wrong? Thank you all. There is a wealth of information here. If I may draw a conclusion at this point: differences, if any, are small enough not to have to worry over my system's performance if I'm not using the Dark Field elevators. On the other hand, I... | |
| Which is the best CD-Player up to $ 10k ? Agree with AMR CD-77. If I remember well, you're in Germany, right? Distributor in that case is Fast Audio (appr. EUR 6.5k) |
