| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? Just leave a place for me on the fancy eatin' table, OK? | |
| Anyone remember speakers by Kindel Audio? I remember them, but only through a Stereophile review of what I guess were the Phantoms. Same with the Robertson amp you referred to in a prior thread. Those were the days of the Stu Hegemanns (he was from where I live, by the way, though I don't... | |
| Buggtussel speakers: a "sleeper" hi- end spker? Alright Maxgain, I'm impressed. Now prove your worth on the thread about the ultimate high end speaker from yesterday! I threw down the gauntlet with some awful puns there, I think it's made for you! | |
| Replacing TT with CD cfb, i'm a little confused too, as if anything my WTT (original) was rather lightweight, and it certainly beat any CDP of the time (early 90s) in terms of involvement. The lightweight sound was why I sold it and got my Basis. Maybe a function of t... | |
| How long do you keep a component? I tend to hang on to things for a while--I had my Duntech Princesses 11 years, and my Sforzandos for the last 4, and I've had my JA 80s for 11, my JP80, my Basis and Graham and my Day-Sequerra for 9 and my Forsell/Audio Logic combo for 8. I do cha... | |
| Upsampling / Oversampling DAC As much as I am a supporter of SACD, I don't mind in the least if a 32 (or 24) bit standard takes over--all of them are or would be better than 16 bit redbook CD. The problem is convincing the masses to accept something other than CDs, which these... | |
| Replacing TT with CD Well-Tempered Turntable & arm, I'd guess. What is it about the turntable that makes you want to give it up, or is it the desire to get new recordings of current artists? Reason I ask is that usually I'm recommending the Well-Tempered to folks ... | |
| Upsampling / Oversampling DAC Gthrush1--don't expect a DAC any time soon, if ever, for decoding DVD-A, as the discs themselves at this point won't let you pass a digital signal at the higher bit/sampling rate, and SACD decoding will depend on whether an industry standard inter... | |
| Your next state-of-the art speaker s ??? :- Would that make the dog a "Sound Lab"? I'll be here all week, folks.... | |
| Your next state-of-the art speaker s ??? :- Sorry, I'm waiting for the Signature version. Perhaps if we attached it to a stretched piece of Mylar we'd have the equivalent of Martin Logan Statements for less than $100. Could call them the "Under-Statements"! | |
| Live or Recorded; A Faustian response In Schubertmaniac's and my posts we were referring principally to non-professionals whom we care about performing, or at least that's how I'm looking at it. I agree that I wouldn't want to attend performances by professionals who were merely going... | |
| Live or Recorded; A Faustian response Well put, sir! You could add to that my wife's (off-key) singing to the Gilbert & Sullivan Songbook record I got from Sdcampbell--thanks, SD, it's been a lot of fun! | |
| Classical R2die4 ? This ain't easy--I'll give a starter set, then move on:Baroque--I'm a fan of the Harmonia Mundi recordings of the Philharmonia Baroque with Nicholas McGegan. The Corelli Concerti Grossi and Handel Water Music are both excellent on LP and CD, as ar... | |
| Live or Recorded; A Faustian response Plsl: I'm sneaking out on Friday to catch their matinee, if I can. In my view, the VPO owns almost any piece they choose to play. Heard them in Vienna last June playing the Strauss Alpine Symphony with Janssons conducting--no stereo system in the ... | |
| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 Much as I like rock and folk, I could live without them. Not so with classical--that's my choice. I think Abstract's right, though, based on my experience (it's required to sell your soul to the Devil when you become a lawyer). |
