So would you go as far to say that the qualia's are very much source dependant or recorded music quality dependant????? Or may be both!!!!

I have decided to buy a used high end cd player. Two options have become available to me but I don't know which one to get. They are both highly regarded in the hi fi scene and either one would not dissappoint. The two which have become available are Marantz CD 7 or Mark Levinson No 37 player+No...

Jahn>Try using the solo with orbitals a perfect sunrise track and crank it up!!!!! Old skool rules.

The list u all gave are probably the essential ones and my list is similar apart I really loved listening to the wall. So here are my top 3 1. wish u were here 2. dark side of the moon (sacd hybrid version) 3. the wall I've got the sacd hybrid version of DSOTM so it works in ordainary...

seriously you can get a levinson 390s for less than $4000. Now u got me interested big time. I don't need amplifiers or speakers for that matter. It's just gonna be a headphone only system. I am just about completing a purchase of a headphone amp (valve based), the headphones I already have and...

mbratrud>What do you think of the wadia 860x. I have read reports that some people think this is better than the 861 although you can upgrade it to the 861 if you wish. I have recently been looking on ebay UK and there is a wadia 860x for £2900. Is this the going price or is it under/overvalue...

I have an earmax standard. What I want to know is how Do I go about tube rolling???I want to increase the sound quality but know nothing about this sort of thing. I do not even know where to get the tubes from!!!! Is ebay a good place????

I hace got in to the habit now of sleeping with my headphones on that if I don't wear them I can't sleep well. Sometimes there's not even music playing!!!! Only probs are they are grado RS-1's

What headphones are there for under £50 for using with my laptop for playing games???

I reckon we should set up a minimeet at pinkfloyds place that way I could "play" with all his amps. How much would it cost for a train to scotland?????Probably more than the headphone amps are worth!!!!

Pinkfloyd>are you interested in the valve amps or is it just solid state amps. I thought I asked as I wanted know your thoughts on the valves. I have an earmax standard via hd600 but I have to try them out with my rs-1's. I am also trying to pick up an rp5 valve amp but I still like the...

We could build a headphone amp enclosure out of bricks for pinkfloyd to build one his new amp projects in it.....

I was thinking about getting the dCs combo but at £3500 I could get the tri-vista SACD by musical fidelity for £3000. I think the dcs would be better though.

Ha I decided to nostalgic>Huey lewis and the news cd. £6 it cost me. A real dynamic opus of cerebal enjoyment.........

defintely page but I think the list is too small. I would like to see jimi hendrix, ry cooder, joe satriani (funnily enough I don't like Vai, technically he is better but play sqealy guitar music....) and I bet u sooner or later somebody will mention that tosspot kirk hamett

they have lowered the buffer time on max setting. It has a more balanced sound. Version 1 was the rs-'1's totally exciting, edge of your pants sound. This more balanced I prefer the version 1. The version 2 is good but I think it is far more suited to classical/opera jazz. I think the cardas are...

Does anyone know where I can get these flats in the UK or is there any dealer willing to ship international?

do you think $650 is a good price if it is I will **** the hammer and pull the trigger on this one. My dealer/ friend is giving it to me at a special price and a new pair of cardas golden reference for about $720 is this right???
