Considering TT is a good source for headphone listening, does anybody know any CDP system with almost like vinyl sound? Will we have vinyl sound from CDP by adding special gear such as dACK? I read that dACK use on oversampling which will create vinyl like effect from CD playback.

Just to share with many HeadFiers. After reading many posts here and doing some A/B I have conclusion of some of the best combos (amps plus headphones) out there for total eargasm : 1. RS1 with Gilmore/Ear+ (less than $1000) 2. HD600 with Blockhead (around $3000) and PreHead (slightly...

I have also some DCCs. But why their prices are also at some multiples from original CDs while they are still producing the CDs now....if I am not mistaken. So DCCs are not collectibles aren't they?

I have just browsed the EBAY and found out some Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab CDs are being auctioned at multiple prices above original CD price. To me their prices are overvalued. Other CDs with better sounds like SACDs/HDCDs/XRCDs are sold with far less price tags. Is it because the collectible...

Ok, how about Led Zeppelin? I have the BBC Session and I like it although the recording was not good to my ear. Another band that I am interested is Blues Travelers (the live recordings).

My new Bel Canto DAC2 will arrive soon. I will pair it with my Philips DVD player or my Ikemi (as the transport). Could anybody suggest me any good cable to feed the DAC2 with signal from my sources? My budget is around $175. I am thinking about the cable from Digital Precision (i2) but looking...

I have the CD3K, RS1 and HD600 (with standard cable). To me RS 1 is the most detail headphone.

While listening to my SACD, this idea comes to my mind. Is it possible to convert SACD to MP3 format? So far I think it is impossible but I am still thinking of it. Any opinion?

Thanks, has anyone heard "In Session" album of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Albert King? Any good?

So often I get bored with the studio recorded music. Therefore I want to listen to same music but played differently with a lot of improvisations or jam sessions in it. My preference genre is rock. Could you recommend some for me. Thanks DJ

I have upgraded my source to Linn Ikemi for one year now. It improves my listening a lot. However, I am still not satisfied yet. The reason is it cannot even outclass my Sony DNE1 when paired with my EMP. My DNE-1 and EMP is a very good combo plus the CD3K. On the contrary, I don't like the...

Merton, try www.bedini.com.

Ok, I happen to see the reviews of Bedini's ultra clarifier. It said the product may increase the penetration of CD laser to produce good quality reproduction after the treatment. The technology is to polarize the polymer in the CD layer to have better penetration of the laser, as well as...

I am listening Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharah's Painted from Memory. I like this album a lot. Could anybody give some recommendation on others CD similar to this phenomenal album. Thanks DJ

Bluesaint, where do you find the R10 with that price? I am still looking also for used R10 in Japan, but no results yet.
