| Mahler Project on LP YMMV....LOL You are 100% correct. Don't get me wrong - if I had a 5.1 channel system and a reference level SACD player, I'm sure the SACD version would be my "go to" version (especially for $175) but pushed through a pitzy cheap player through a 2... | |
| Mahler Project on LP My above post got mangled....I meant to say that my SACD player was a sub $1K Marantz and each of my analogue rigs were over $25K | |
| Mahler Project on LP I listened to both the vinyl and the SACD versions side by side and there was no comparison - the vinyl version sound better - more depth, better bass extension, more air around the notes. However, 2 caveats- (1) the master for the SACD and the vi... | |
| VAC Renaissance Pre-amp owners - Help Yes-the switch doesn't work in the 8416 stage. It only works in the 6922/7308 but I have 8416 tubes in the sockets. Is your pre-amp louder in one channel than the other? Thanks | |

A great and profound loss. I... | |

| Anyone here compare the Leben CS300 to the CS600? Heard both and the most generous thing I can say is that they were both mediocre. I would try to get a used VAC Avatar or Avatar Super. Best tube integrated that I've heard under $20K.Good Luck | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out Judging from the appearance/social skills/personal grooming of the men (especially in the SET/horn crowd) at the various audio shows - no need to worry about having too many women hanging around. | |
| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out Stereolady: Yes over the years I have attended many shows, CES, CEDIA, HES, the Stereophile show when it was in NYC. I got treated with respect was when I attended as a Wall St Analyst covering the sector. When I attended on my own I got the "wher... | |

| High end Audio for ladies? Check this out Stereolady: depends on the women: I want to listen to music in a dedicated listening room and my ex-boyfriend listened to it as background music. I saw your website and I sort of wish you didn't reinforce the stereotype of the shoes. As a woman au... | |
