| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! Guys, although you are correct RCA vinyl from late 50s, especially Reiner/Chicago, is fabulous, I was refering to RCA "living Stereo" CD remasters from that period which are also mainly Reiner/Chicago and some sound as good as any classical CD orc... | |
| Cables, Interconnects and More Cables??? Casey, you hurt Rocks feelings by not buying Radio Shack cable, didn't you accept the RS challenge, hehehe..... | |
| Super Audio CD The good news is SACD is superior sounding tech, however, several problems for SACD so far, recording industry slow to adopt...this is where fear of betamax comes back. Also the few SACDs on the market are very expensive compared to CD, this will ... | |
| SPEAKERS FOR MY NEW LISTENING ROOM Ej, of course professional dampening material is best, tube traps, sonex foam panels etc.....but there are design considerations in someones living room, for visual appeal. Any tall irregular 3D object placed in the corners behind speakers will br... | |
| Classical Audiophiles Rejoice! Sugarbrie, I have a couple DG "originals" that I feel may be exaggerated as you say, but I don't feel it applies to entire series, must be judged case by case.....but the other lines DECCA "Legends", EMI "Recordings of the Century" and RCA "Living... | |

| Cables, Interconnects and More Cables??? Rock, out of curiousity, what other cables have you directly compared to RS megacable? This would give us some perspective of where you are coming from, also do you work for Radio Shack, hehehe.....regards Sam | |
| My Only Question Is......... Pet, no one will argue that CDP direct to amp is best possible for pure sound quality. However this "spartan" set-up limits flexibility for recording devices,tuner, or any future format that is not playable on CDP...... this is real consideration ... | |

| Original CD vs Remaster vs Gold Disc Grumpy, just to let you know I got a couple DCC gold discs from Red Trumpet to try out. From the 1960s recordings, I think the Beatles digital remasters have been real improvements, I bought red & Blue collections, sound pretty good of course ... | |
