    Best audiophile metal and rock albums

    The new Holy Diver released by audio fidelity is the best it's ever sounded. Plus you can get most AF releases for about 10 dollars cheaper on amazon they're the only audiophile discs I still purchase. I got mine for about 15 bucks (as opposed to the ca. $25 buck list price which you WILL pay...

    Tubes failing in decware csp2+, Help!!

    Update:   I sent the amp in for repairs and after two weeks shes on her way back home. Things were really starting to go down hill before i sent it out, the volume pot would buzz every time i put my finger on it, so steve replaced it with a free upgrade to a stepped attenuator and the input...

    Mac OS X Music Players - alternatives to iTunes

    +1 for Pure Music. This program literally traansformed the sound of my system. There was a five fold increase in soundstaging, tonal realism and instrument separation. It has many cool odds and ends as well such as reverse play, automatic sample rate changes, dithered volume control and memory...

    Tubes failing in decware csp2+, Help!!

    I never used non-spec tubes in it, Where i live even amp technicians know squat about tubes so i took his advice with a grain of salt. let me be clear, that the only tubes i have put in that amp have been spec'd for it, and recommended by other users including skylab among others. Those tubes...

    I don't know if this is still under discussion, but two tracks that always please me regardless of phones are"smoke gets in your eyes" as performed by the tsuyoshi Yamamoto trio on their exemplary dxd relase on the fim label, what a wonderful trio.

    subjectivity in audiophilia

    you have a very valid point, i would say that personal opinion has a very large part to play in the way in which we all percieve a given sound and that whether its the hd800's or the k501s we all are put through the ringer when it comes to describing sound. as for the opposite sex (not...

    From the HD650s to the D7000s - initial impressions

    Quote: i agree, particularly in comparison to the HD800. the 650s even with foams removed give an impression of muffled highs, and to the chagrin of many people id say that my dt 990s are a more fitting midline phone for my taste and while they impart a definitely colored sound they are...
