| why still buy a cd player? Assuming all the bits are being read, stored, and delivered downstream correctly, its all in the DAC.You need a decent, properly functioning CD read drive to get this, but these are not inherently expensive or uncommon these days IMHO. The uncerta... | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Shadorne,As is often the case, I think you are on to something.I've found that when I record vinyl albums to CD, the the CD sounds almost identical to the original album and nothing like the commercial CD copies I compare with.I do not think I can... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Martykl,Cool!Thanks for stepping up to the plate.I anxiously await your report!Rebbe, though I've never heard the Unico, based on my experience so far with the tube DAC, pre-amp and SS amp, I think the hybrid integrated is a very good place to be ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Marcus001,I recently have introduced some tubes in my DAC and pre-amp to the Ohms and have been 100% rewarded so far.The Ohms have a difficult load to drive and are not ideal for tube power amps on paper, but I would love to hear about the results... | |

| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound Dazzdax,You have good stuff so its surprising to me.I'm assuming your CD is working properly as designed.First I'd like to know more about the rest of your system: amp, speakers, ICs, etc.I think a common problem with CD playback is that often the... | |
| truth about subs? I am not familiar with the article referred to but the truth about subs for me is that, properly integrated, a decent sub the most practical and affordable way to get very excellent full range sound into a system. | |
| CD has laid back and uninvolving sound I don't think that this is necessarily the case in general, though it is certainly not uncommon for various reasons.I have albums that sound great and better than CD versions and vice versa. | |
| Neil Diamond......... I have a double CD set called "Gold" that is mostly original studio recordings with very good sound + a few live versions of a few Neil Diamond songs at the end. IT is a wonderful collection for getting exposure to Diamond's better known classic w... | |
