| Neutral bookshelf speaker as a frenchman, i'd think you'd look to focal, which sounds it meets your profile. dynaudio contour would be another to consider. | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin good thread--reminds me of the period after tommy where every technically-proficient band in england made their "concept albums." looking through some of the above-mentioned, it seems that most were more notable for their ambition than their liste... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" "bring the family" was his critical/commercial breakthru and is very good, but my favorite was always "two bit monsters," which i believe to be one of the best-written singer-songwriter records of the 80s. much closer to new wave/pub-rock than to... | |
| Headphone question the couple i like in your range are the sennheiser momentum and the philips l1 (both come in on-ear and over-ear versions). | |
| Which CD\SACD? sort of on point, but have any oppo 103 owners notice that the volume level thru its analogue outs is significantly lower than thru its digital outs? | |
| Just how great is Elvis Costello for my money, the second or third best ever lyricist, and certainly among the top 20 songwriters. cursed with those pipes, he's a bad singer, tho he works hard to overcome with brains and technique. extra points for remaining listenable long past ... | |
| PSB Platinum M2 buying advice haven't researched the question, but i'd assume people pair them with a sub because as small monitors they're not designed to plumb the depths. in these parts, "home theater use" is elitist code for a sensibly priced product by a recognized manufa... | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report the beatles, rubber soul--good songwriting; quite underrated 60s popthe byrds, preflyte--rudimentary production values aside, indisputable proof of gene clark's singular geniuskinski, alpine static--hypnotic, intense instro rawk in roughly the sam... | |
| PSB Platinum M2 buying advice really excellent speakers--extremely neutral and transparent. for a few hundred bucks i'd jump on 'em in a flash--they were 2 grand new (w/o the stands). | |
| recommendations for SS integrated with DAC for < $1200? peachtree's a good pick; a good mate of mine is also very happy with his nad d7050 | |
| Tidal skips to next track, or restarts when paused iPhone i had similar problems with tidal on my phone (rarely if ever on my pc)--as posited above, i'd venture that it does have to do with streaming such high bit rates on a mobile platform. it ended up being a deal-killer for me--i switched back to spo... | |
| Pioneer DV-09 plays DVD's not CD's help i'd surmise that jed is correct and that you're trying to play cdrs, which aren't compatible with the dv09. try playing a redbook cd and report back. | |
| What's up with the ridiculous offers?!? i acknowledge , by any accepted standard, acting that this is american and a buyer should be free to make stupid lowball offers, which the seller is free to ignore. however, some of us still cling to the illusion that audiogon, as opposed to othe... | |
| Older 90's highly rated bookshelf vs. newer technology driver technology in particular has continued to evolve--manufacturers are using ever lighter, stiffer materials and (i would assume) more advanced computer technology in the design process. whether or not this evolution results in better-sounding... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify i just succumbed and subscribed to tidal in order to compare it to spotify. results are mixed. tidal's sound quality is unarguably better (it's not a vhs-to-dvd improvement, but significant nonetheless) and i actually prefer its interface, which ... |
