| Replacing an Ayre AX-7 -buying advice? Jfrech-sorry I thought this post hadn't made the forum.....I have an alternative post further up the page.I've got the bug again I have replaced my CX-7 with the Oppo and I am enjoying hearing more from my system-so like a lot of people I've got g... | |
| KIND OF BLUE I have to say the K2 HD is as I thought noticeably better. There is a volume difference the K2 is slightly louder than the 50th which on first serious analysis throws you when you adjust the volume for listening to the 50th but you can actually he... | |
| Sugden Integrated IA-4 versus Ayre AX-7 Because the CX-7 is a CD player which I replaced with an Oppo 105 and I saw a Sugden amp and I thought might just replace my amp also. | |
| "Audiogon" Music Reviews at last My old review site has been defunct for years...... | |
| KIND OF BLUE Exocet954 I have to disagree the K2 HD sounds considerably better to my ears than the 50 year remaster but I am going to give it a whirl again just to see......be interested to hear what Warrenh found with his new disc. | |
| Sugden Integrated IA-4 versus Ayre AX-7 I'd love the AX-5 but the price is out of my range and I do like the sound of my AX-7-I basically have an Ayre CX-7 that I no longer use and I have seen a Sugden at a decent price so I thought a system overhaul might be in order-I can get the Sugd... | |
| KIND OF BLUE I just received the K2 HD version today-on a quick listen I would say this is the best version I have heard....before that I would have went for the Japanese Mastersound version as being best despite it's age.The K2 version seems to deliver more d... | |
| Steve Wilson`s new one I am really starting to enjoy this record....:-) | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? Well the Aja disc arrived and yes on first listens-no comparisons with other versions...it is very very impressive.It has more dynamics than SACD normally has but it also retains the smooth aspect and the detail is fantastic. Vocals in particular ... | |
| Steve Wilson`s new one I have heard it a few more times and it has a few nice moments/good songs.I still hear some of the same issues and I am a wee bit baffled as to why there are moments in it that just sound like total "lifts" from other songs...FOABP I still think i... | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? The 2L records test bench is quite a nice set of music from the few I've downloaded but if I were being critical they are typically audiophille in source material....don't get me wrong this is not muzak but I would like to hear something more chal... | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? I wish I did....I have just bought the most expensive single CD of my life and it won't be here till Tuesday.It got stopped at customs and I have been walloped with a £22 customs charge on top of a very expensive original purchase.It'll probably a... | |
| Steve Wilson`s new one I got it last week.....a wee bit of a struggle I thought...I find his work a tad too derivative and lacking weight. The slower tracks have a nice ambience not unlike Hackett era Genesis but lyrically a tad ordinary.....the opening track tries too ... | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? My Oppo is set up correctly I only use XLR and stereo. HD-Tracks is not available outside of the USA.A point not picked up on during the debate is my opinion that HDCD discs are probably the best sounding and most consistent format I have heard. | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? I have just spent a fortune on the Aja version mentioned above....will update when it arrives |
