| Receiver I've always heard Anthem receivers have very good sound. The last time I looked (several years ago) they got dinged due to a poor user interface (difficult to play with). Don't know if this has been corrected. | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? Another "Lost Concert" is Don Williams playing on PBS "In Concert" series circa 1979. The most perfect execution of the most profoundly beautiful songs I've ever heard. Haven't seen This show since. Just a crime it's not available. | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? @ozzy Read your post which prompted me to dig out my long-unplayed Ultradisk of this Rod Stewart masterpiece. Will play tonight! Thanks for the inspiration. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used Just saw a pristine pair of Salon II (piano black) at Audio Solutions, Indianapolis. Real beauties but very big. $9000. | |
| $8k for speakers - new or used If you're not getting enough detail from the 804s, it must be your electronics and/or cables. My 804s are fed by BAT Pre/Amp, Wireworld Eclipse 7 speaker wire, Oppo 205 front end and all OCC interconnects. At this point, the only speakers I'd cons... | |
| What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find? Bartok "Concerto for Orchestra" played for a live audience in the Royal Albert Hall, London. This performance was shown on a PBS tribute to Sir George Solti in the late 70s. Sir George gave an inspired performance, and the crowd went absolutely wi... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. It's important to realize that sibilance, and other distortions, are sometimes "baked in" to the recording. Nothing to do about this. | |
| ATC SCM50 (passive) v. Devore O/93 Be sure to try on short wall VS long wall. Can make a big difference. | |
| Classe CT-SSP won’t shut down I had a problem with an Oppo 205 (forget what it was doing but something along your line). Oppo said it is a known problem with Sony TVs HDMI protocol. Forget what I did but problem no longer exists. Try removing your Sony from the chain and see w... | |
| New speakers for a new start? ATC speakers. Either passive or active versions. Basically Pro speakers so no problems playing load. Many models to choose from. https://atc.audio/hi-fi/loudspeakers/entry-series/scm40a/ | |

| What’s your favorite audio show to attend and why? IMO, AXPONA should move to Indianapolis. The show would have the run of the airport (10 minutes to downtown) and the entire downtown is nothing but bars and restaurants. Indy is like a mini Las Vegas (without the gambling). Lots of shiny new hotel... | |
| That Transformational piece of Gear We All Wish For It would be nice if the Wizards at BAT would make it easier to strap their amps for mono operation. Having to send them to the factory is a real pain. | |
| What’s your favorite audio show to attend and why? Really liked Summer C.E.S. in Chicago. Saw many Audio Rock Stars there e.g. J. Gordon Holt, Dave Wilson, Julian Hirsch, Mr. Shahinian, Steve McCormack et al. Also liked T.H.E. shows in Las Vegas when I lived there. Got a textbook lesson in system... | |
| Anyone Remeber CMC Stereo? Allied Radio, Pacific Stereo, Olson Electronics. These are the chains I remember (does Circuit City count?). Never heard of CMC. What region did they serve? |
