Audiogoners-some musical recommendations
That's where I'm standing, Ben. I'm always in research for new music and preferably non-monochromatic.Most-likely for the "other" kind of music you have to do more thorough research. I curently possess Philip Johnston band CD recorded on 1994. I w... 
Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada .
...even if I use it for analogue i will not use a correction system. If I use it without correction the signal will not be converted to digital and will go straight to the analogue domain.  
Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada .
If I would use it it might add on some digital collection in addition to my analogue. CDs sounded wonderful(even with correction bypas) since the DAC inside this unit can be used successfully with any transport. As far as I know about TACT it stil... 
Joe's Garage V.S. Broadway
I happen to posess Joe's boxed set of vinyls with texts and casts too.In fact FZ even made fun of his own musicians on the stage as well!I wish he was still here with us. 
RB300 maintainance...
Good for us to hear differences! -- The problem had been resolved with recyclable party plates and guitar picks where necessary. Still hear the differences but much-much lower and on acceptable level. RB300 after all isn't easy arm to set up prope... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I believe that this thread will fill out by a few of us who were in NYH.So far it was Joseph Pearl. 
Best sound at Stereophile show.
Flex, to tell the truth I cannot describe anyhow Piega/Meridian DVD-audio room since there were not any great possibility to listen to the music due to the extraneous noise comming from open doors. I felt that bottom end is being dissapeared ore c...

Spkr Cables . Can you use 2 diff brands at once?
There are two philosophies surfing arround this area:One of them CABLES DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE andthe other CABLES DO NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE.If you believe into the second philosophy than it doesn't matter. Zipcord is fine all the way through without... 
RB300 maintainance...
Patrick, Rega is an excellent value but the Rega's philosophy is to place too much demand on the turntable isn't sometimes appropriate. I believe that adjustments to turntable/arm for the sake of maximum cartridge accuracy must be mutual. If I wer... 
Best sound at Stereophile show.
Is there anyone was with me in Gamut room when Whole Lotta love was played? Let me tell you that I've never heard Led Zeppelin sound so damn great on red-book CD! I wanted to stay even longer in that room to listen to the whole Led Zeppelin II alb... 
What were your SACD impressions at NY show?
I was more impressed from Gamut CD1 (certainly it was with higher class electronics) that played red-book CDs on the level that very few SACD players can.I believe that it's not complete info still is taken from red-book CDs and it can be even mor... 
RB300 maintainance...
Patrick it's yes and no. Theoretically it's yes and practically the level isn't matched on the armboard(very-sligtly off) due to probably the slight difference between one of the three cylindrical plastic 1/2" spacers that mounted on the plinth fi... 
Digital amp beat them all? Audio Physic Strada .
...despite anything else, I would not refuse to win TACT RCS 2.2x and entered the lottery during the NYH exhibition yesterday.
