| High resolution digital is dead. The best DAC's killed it. I hope that CDs will also hit a revival life LPs. I have 7,000 CDs. However, currently there are CDs that sell for $100s each. Those are the Kevin Grey/Steve Hoffman CDs especially gold DCC CDs. I also favor Japanese jazz CDs from the 1980s wh... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I did not know that the seller could not leave negative feedback after the order was paid for. I've been threatened twice with negative feedback after telling the seller that the record was in garbage condition (one looked fine but had one channe... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I've been burned by sellers who claim near mint condition from England and the LP is good condition, filled with pops and clicks. The seller would refund me if I paid the freight back (which would cost me for two shipments). They threaten to giv... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Right, I listen to all sources other than streaming.including RR tape occassionally. Different sources are not mutually exclusive like religion.Prof answer is nonsense. I am going to buy the Dark Matter tabs. If they don't work out, I can affor... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl As to colonoscopies, I have invested in MotusGi, an endoscope that does not require prep (horrible liquid consumed the day before and diet change), as it is self-irrigating and self-evacuating. It has a protective sleeve to prevent patient to p... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Geoffkait Okay, I misunderstood as I thought both sides of the square had double stick tape. It has a smooth, unsticky side which the CD rests on. Good. Also, I misspoke as to the Walker Talisman. Of course it is the magnetism problem that it alle... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl inna - Well I listen to a significant number of other poets in European languages, including much Yiddish poetry sung by great artists from the 78 rpm to LP era. The classical instrumentalist and vocal remasterings of about 30,000 78s on my CDs so... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl What does the sticky tape tabs do to reduce laser light scatter? Does the tab have special properties? I use the Walker Talisman to reduce/eliminate static from CDs and LPs. CDs show immediate improvement upon use. In a Steve Hoffman forum, Ma... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl Okay, I found the site listing for Dark Matter CD liquid treatment and a Dark Matter CD Tray square treatment. I assume you are referring to the top of the tray treatment then since I thought it was for the treatment per CD. Can you instruct me ... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl geoffkait Your CD dark matter is not a CD player but an additive tweak to remove scattered light from the laser. It could be a phenomenal product but you still need a CD player and your tweak would be expensive for my 7000 CD collection. I'm j... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl A $50 Pioneer DV-05 modified with six capacitors and a higher end A/C cable will beat your Technics turntable. Just ask Oregonpapa. My friend modifies a 21 year old DVD player with dual lasers with just some cap to improve the power supply and s... | |
| MQA is Legit! I'm not opting for MQA. I know, I have 7,000 78s, 7,000 CDs and 25,000 LPs. However, I agree with the comment a well remastered CD beats a bad LP of the same. Often they are neck and neck. LPs can have a more ethereal, open quality but CDs can... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD I also have performing and listening experience to live music. I sing and perform with a 50+ orchestra in Los Angeles. I've reviewed classical music for the UCLA Daily Bruin from row 10 as rows 1 and 2 had a bright, forward sound that I didn't l... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. I forgot the great Leak and Quad amps, low powered but wonderful. | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD geoffkait No, no, no. Some high end audiophile systems bring out the finest qualities of sound from all sources, including the worst sources. Sure, I’ve trashed many recordings LP, 78 and CD based on really poor sound quality. Now, my system is so... |
