| Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging The Reference 3A Dulcets are killer imagers that, with good setup and the right music, of course, completely disappear and paint a spatially coherent performance that can be thrilling. Same for their bigger brother, the De Capo (which I recently t... | |
| James Taylor reissues? Lindisfarne,I will buy them! But I wouldn't characterize JT's later output as "mediocre" by any stretch. JT is a wonderful record. Secret O' Life and There We Are are amazing songs. And the arrangement of Oh What A Beautiful Morning from "Other Co... | |
| Reference 3A Dulcets vs. Nola Boxer---Opinions? 2edwards,Never saw this post when you originally posted it. If you still need Dulcet opinions, let me know. Disclaimer: I've never heard the Boxers. | |
| James Taylor reissues? Lindisfarne,I know many of the songs from those albums but have never owned them, no. I'll put them on my wish list. | |
| James Taylor reissues? Metralla,Hi. No. There's a fairly recent CD of his called "One Man Band," recorded live at an old theater in New England somewhere. Fine, if not spectacular sound, and some really wonderful performances. The remake of "My Traveling Star" from "Oct... | |
| Anyone in New York with Grand Veenas? As a very happy owner of first, the Dulcet and now the De Capo i-A, I have to say that dealing with the folks at Reference 3A has been a pleasure. Both Tash and Diane in the front office are very nice to deal with. I purchased both of these speake... | |
| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? Mrtennis,I'd call it a playful question. It just hit me a couple of weeks ago that I have to flip 7 switches from a cold start to play a CD! Not that it's a hardship, but I was wondering if a normal (read, "non-audiophile") person would put up wit... | |
| Here's a good sounding Basia CD Another one you want to have is "Basia On Broadway." Great performances and good sonics, too. And her backup singers are amazing on that one! | |
| Supertramp Samuel,I got my 10 year old daughter hooked on Supertramp just playing it in the car on the way to school. She was fascinated by the vocal harmonies and strong melodies. | |
| How many switches do you have to flip the play a CD? RCPrince:As far as I can tell thus far, you win the prize. Congratulations! :-) | |
| Supertramp Big Supertramp fan here, too. Those guys could write melodies that would keep you up at night. And nobody defined their sound like Roger Hodgson. | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Donjr,What I find a little disappointing about SC is, again, the lack of strong melodies, which adds to that "sameness," I think.Look, the guy is an incredibly gifted composer and there are great songs on all his earlier solo albums:Nightfly: Ever... | |
| Donald Fagen-Sunken Condos Do you guys really think SC is a good sounding recording? I find everything, especially vocals, to have a muffled quality. The HD Trracks download is better in that regard.So far, and I'm a huge fan of SD and DF, I find the album strong on grooves... | |
| Vapor Cirrus Black vs dc10 Berlin Studio Monitor It's my day off, that's all. :-) | |
| Reference 3A speaker stands Teajay,Thanks. Thinking of getting a pair for my Ref 3A De Capo's, but I was wondering how stable something adjustable could really be. This is helpful. |
