I prefer the bass of Grado SR-225 over HD600, it's tighter and isn't so heavy/accentuated, very groovy sounding, although they seriously lack extension.

Maybe the original recording isnt too hot, and the "high fidelity" remasters are simply revealing that where as the original mastering was produced to cover up the flaws? I say this because most of the jazz remasters I have sound awesome.

sacd lover - which other pre amps have you tried in your system? The main interest I have in the gilmore dynamic is for preamp duty.

It's the mods again with their lame ass power trip stuff... Could have just moved the thread to the correct forum, but since it's gilmore amp related, they just do the prejudice thing. Wait, he posted it again in the correct forum after realizing the mistake, but was also deleted? What?

I suggest that you try a different amp, perhaps an Audiovalve RKV. If you're looking for dynamics, the Headroom amp isn't it. Also, some people have commented that the CNR cables are of a laid back nature. Maybe try some silver ones? If you are crazy enough, read about power cords and their...

HL was one of the best single player games I've ever played. After watching the HL2 20+min video of ingame footage, the game looks massively deep with full of fun adventures to come... Can't wait. idsoft lost their interest with me when they released Quake3, they went commercial meaning hype...

I love the Planet, a truely awesome source, it's a love it or hate it player, it happened to move me. I think its best trait is that it just swings, makes music very enjoyable to listen to. It has a pretty sound, beautiful you could also call it, soft touch without the nasties of digital like...

I am so down for it, I hate how all these newbies keep flooding the for sale forum of useless crappy junk, which makes it hard for people to find out about stuff actually worth getting.

I think the military is stupid, and so are you for even bringing it up. I was originally going to go through ROTC, but I chose to just enlist, I have my reasons, get over it, and don't play this "you are young putz" crap on me, that's so friggin lame. A lot of people recommend stuff they...
