| How to find the good CD recordings? chemman, every one says it is easy but I can't seem to figure it out.First scenario: Tidal on computer, computer into back of pre-amp with a 1/4 jack to RCA. And you say sound quality is okay-ish with that set up? If so, that's what I need to try ... | |
| Cable Burn In Jim, thank you. I think it is ironic that I started this thread in my ignorance, both of the existence of this phenomenon and the debate surrounding it.The irony is that for me it makes no difference whatsoever:1) I already have great cables (from... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? I do find that the Pink Floyd stuff is very well produced, at least from DSOTM onward. Rush also. I got rid of my Yes cassettes and albums years ago. I need to look for some of their CDs. | |
| Cable Burn In " Believe what you want, but don't be so pompous as to tell me what I can or can't hear."That cuts both ways, right? How is it that person 'A' can say "I hear a dramatic difference" and another person 'B' with equally good hearing and skills sa... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? I have found that on eBay and Amazon it can be hard to get specific info about any given disc. I'm assuming I can take the i.d. number of the disc and look it up on some of the sites you guys have recommended. | |
| Cable Burn In Well, one interesting thing fleschler said was that the burn-in makes things different, not necessarily better.I have found it strange that this has not been pointed out before. There seems to be an impression that whatever happens to a cable as i... | |
| Speaker spike feet? It all came to me by chance. Was not an audiophile before now. Still have a long way to go but fortunately have no desire whatsoever to pursue any sort of serious upgrades. No need for me to get on that treadmill.I made the spikes because 1) I cou... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? shadorne, it is my understanding that for Tidal to be meaningful from a quality standpoint would require me to buy more equipment (DAC) etc and I'm not ready to go that route yet. It all sounds complicated and expensive. But I will check out the 2... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? whart,I lean toward the delta blues but like it all. I'm not an expert by any means. I lived in Clarksdale as a child and we have good friends in Greenwood. He is an engineer and worked on the BB King museum in Indianola and he met BB many times. ... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? whart, I also like the older Zep and lean strongly toward their blues based songs. So strongly in fact that I've gotten into the blues that inspired them and have collected many of the blues songs they, well, ripped off. Unfortunately all of these... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? whart wrote:None of the Zep albums are in my view of audiophile quality-- it is somewhat sad, given the significance of the band, that they weren’t able to put together better quality recordings. I came late to LZ (1978-ish) and even though never ... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? lowrider, interesting that you mention the loudness wars. I don't think loudness and volume are the same thing but certain CDs are definitely louder at a given volume than others. A new CD I purchased recently by a new glam band, The Struts, is no... | |
| How to find the good CD recordings? I'm probably not the type to want a bunch of different CDs of the same album. I realize that this would be the best, and really the only way, to find what sounds best to me, I'm just not into this enough, yet, to put the legwork and money into it.... | |
| Speaker spike feet? Madrigal Proceed HPA2. Transparent Super Bi-cable cables. | |
| Speaker spike feet? geoffkait, I wasn't sure for a fact that they are rubber but they look and feel like firm black rubber. So I looked back at the schematic Micheal Kelly sent me and it does say rubber there. |
