So there is going to be a new Nick Drake boxset in December, containing all his 3 studio albums remastered. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about this?
Amazon.com: Fruit Tree (limited): Nick Drake: Music
Well, I'm using the OS X install disc to reinstall the bundled software, but it's frustrating that it won't let me choose which ones to install but instead installs EVERYTHING.
The headphone output on the Cary 300SEI is shit for low-impedance loads: they just added a resistor from the main analog output stage to lower noise, but in the process upped the output impedance on the headphone output. High output impedance + low-impedance load = YUCK! Bloated bass plus overly tubey sound.
Does ADAM have a "house sound"? I'm looking at the larger P22A for next year, mainly because I like AMT-tweeters, but I don't know if ADAM has that cold clinical sound.
I am quite happy with my monitors, and I had a headphone rig that was much better than his
But seriously, having full-range, floor-standing speakers is pretty much next to impossible in college, since space is limited, and we move every year.
It's probably better to get some decent monitors plus a good sub.
so I think I might have fucked up: when I tried to cork the bottle after pouring a glass, I think I might have used a little too much force. Now the cork is kind of stuck there, and I can't pull it out.
I would welcome any kind of suggestion.
So my TVC just got here today; it uses the S&B transformer.
Let's just say that I like it a lot. It has enough gain for me in my system, and the biggest things that I noticed are improved dynamics and more realistic decay of instruments.
Overall the TVC makes my current system has a more of the "there-ness" to the music. I was listening to "Cookin' with Miles Davis Quintet", and every instrumental just sounds more real I guess. The decay on Paul Chamber's bass is ridiculously natural, the most natural I've heard so far.
