| What's better than the Jolida JD100 i owned the jolida player. i don't have a clue why it has garnered such praise. it certainly is not warm or sounds like it has a tubed analog stage, probably because of the dac chips and op amps. most 24/96 or 24/192 players sound very similar.as ... | |
| Classical speakers that do violins well?? hi krellm7:if you like the iiz, you will like their newest speaker, the clx, arriving in august, to sell between $7000 and $9000. it will be more dynamic and play deeper than your speaker. call the company to get some information. | |
| How good is the Marantz SA-7S1? i heard the marantz player today. well.... i am tempted to buy it, but.... , it lacks bloom. i mean it seems to be closer to truth than beauty, but doesn't seem to have any excesses. i fear that the player will not forgive poor recordings. it is e... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? gentlemen:what does sound have to do with soul ? have you ever heard a musician play in a poor acoustical environment where the sound was poor ? yet, one might say "he plays with soul".i am afraid one may be looking for sould in the wrong places. ... | |
| Best new loudspeaker gentlemen:let me try to clarify my positions.there is no best anything. there is no best for me, either. there is perception and preference. i make no assertion about quality or relative difference, except to say that i perceive the sound of an in... | |
| Best new loudspeaker yes i will assert that any electrostatic, within its frequency response bandwidth, will create the sound of an instrument, in a manner more realistic than any cone design.we both realize that such an assertion requires evidence.as i have stated in... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? there is a disnction between music and sound. music is everywhere, varying in sound quality. enjoying music does not require an expensive stereo system. many forget that people enjoyed music via the most basic , i.e., low fidelity media, in the pa... | |
| System-Buster CDs the idea of the "drum set is in the room" is unrealistic and often indiactive of a forward midrange. if the soundfield normally emanates from behind the speaker, why would anyone want the musician in the room, pushed forward several feet ?if one i... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi ralph:there is no best anything. however, at a point in time, one can say that given say 5 speakers, one of them is least inaccurate timbrally. that doesn't make it the best, but does establish performance in that regard.timbre is one of severa... | |
| System-Buster CDs i use the following:track 1 from holly cole don't smoke in bed. her voice is close miked and sibilance can be excessive in most stereo systems.bob james and earl klugh two of a kind. i listen for cymbal and acoustic guitar. in most stereo systems ... | |
| Best value speakers available hi ron:i have auditioned the lft 8s, 6s and the earliest, the 3s.i find with the hybrids, that the cone and planar elements produce two dsitinct sound patterns, perhaps, partly because of the radiating patterns which are unique to each driver type... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi techmachine:it may be a great speaker. i visited the web site, read a review and briefly studied some of the technical details.the speaker might be too revealing. until i hear it (i can't lift it at 295 pds), it represents an if.for $7200, i ca... | |
| Value in i don't think the question should be new or old, but rather what speaker you like ?perhaps, you would consider a full range or hybrid panel speaker . if so, look for a martin logan sequel, sequel 2 or sl 3, or some of the more recent martin logan ... | |
| Best new loudspeaker let's be careful of how you interpret the word "new".if by "new", you mean, production date during the last three months, i must admit, that what i have in mind is somewhat older than that. the only speaker which could be considered "new", would b... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? the quad 2805 is essentially, a reworked quad 63. the 2805 plays louder, is better braced, is a bit more dynamic, and goes a bit deeper.if you had a chance to compare the 2805 to a rebuilt quad 57, you would notice a purer mid band and treble, com... |
