| Live Performances Gone Awry Saw Sly and the Family Stone at the Electric Circus in 1968 - well, actually I didn't. They didn't show. | |
| You never see this anymore Mark did the same thing with Red Rose - I believe he had a dedicated studio in NYC. However, much of the stuff had a more than superficial resemblance to much cheaper stuff made in China, which I would imagine put some people off. Whether it was a... | |
| Esoteric Mods After going the mod route once, with a very nice and reputable person, I have come to the conclusion that if you are not satisfied with what you have, sell it and buy something you like better. That has been my experience. | |
| What would you upgrade next if you had my hifi ? Get a record player. Your digital is excellent, but you shouldn't deprive yourself of vinyl. No need to spend a fortune. Buy a Music Hall MMF-7 and 10 new records from Acoustic Sounds just to see if you enjoy the whole experience. If you do, you c... | |
| My audiophile take on the symphony last night. Funny thing about live music - no matter how bad the acoustics are, you can tell it's live and not recorded. Keep in mind that many orchestral recordings are made from the conductor's perspective, just as piano recordings are made from the player'... | |
| Rega DAC? Oppo 95 and wait? The OP has owned some good CD players. I've heard both the Apollo and the Jolida and, IMO, they would satisfy many listeners. Obviously, the OP is not satisfied with these very decent players and I think it's a waste to move from one 1K player to ... | |
| Rega DAC? Oppo 95 and wait? You're looking for more, but without spending more. Good luck. Trading sideways in the 1K range may get you something different, but that's about it. If you like screwing around with different equipment, that's fine, but if you're really looking f... | |
| Most stylish CD player . Metronome Kalista. Doesn't sound bad either. | |
| How sensitive is the B&W Nautilus Midrange? You should look into some high-end sound reinforcement speakers like JBL Pro or EAW. They are specifically designed for concert-level playback. I think a lot of so-called audiphiles would be better served by such a system, but they can't admit it ... | |
| Can I hear from some Emerald Physics Cs3 owners A friend of mine had a pair and we compared them to two pairs conventional speakers in the 4K price range. We both heard nothing to particularly distinguish the EPs, except that they were more of a PITA to deal with because of the DSP and all. The... | |
| Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player? Excuse me. There is obviously a big difference between cheap and inexpensive. Enjoy your third inexpensive DAC. | |
| Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player? Maybe you would listen to more CDs if you had a good player? People do too much reading and not enough listening. Buying a cheap DAC isn't going to help you enjoy your system. But it's your money and your ears, so enjoy. | |
| Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player? Unlike most people here, I will not give you an opinion on gear I've never owned. In my system, I found the Doge6 far superior to the 5400 in the areas that matter to me. The Doge is well-built and the transport is a standard plastic CD transport ... | |
| Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player? That's a very valuable post, Montejay. The OP can sit around and guess which ones you are talking about. | |
| Feedback on Doge 6 CD Player? One of the best players I've owned, including 5K and 10K digital setups. I have heard nothing that can touch it at 2K shipped. Just make sure to get the upgraded tubes. |
