Posted by tgibbs on 2010-12-22, 11:47:23 (162.27.9.20)
Hey guys, I broke down and emailed PG about six weeks ago for his MMG crossover schematic. I ordered the parts (I did make some substitutions, and decided to forego the resisitor) and put it all toget .......

73: Hi-Rez Highway, RE: Any reason NOT to choose Proprius Antiphone Blues (0.00)
Posted by tgibbs on 2007-08-27, 08:46:46 (205.174.22.27)
I find the Proprius releases of both JATP and Antiphone Blues to be superior in every way to the FIM releases. The Proprius discs seem closer to the originals, as if the FIMs are not sourced from the .......

Posted by tgibbs on 2005-04-06, 04:12:56 (65.77.136.126)
I have one, and really like it – with certain qualifications. First of all, there's a history of problems with this machine – you must make certain that you get the latest firmware version, which is v .......

Even on my thoroughly pieced-together, upper-mid-fi system with hi-fi ambitions, the multichannel presentation of this disc is nothing short of stunning, and absolutely offers one of the finest and mo .......

Posted by tgibbs on 2004-12-23, 05:34:23 (65.77.136.126)
These discs are stereo only – at least the set available in North America. Don't let anyone dissuade you from getting these essential performances – they sound fabulous on my system (I don't know what .......

Posted by tgibbs on 2004-11-24, 07:04:01 (65.77.136.129)
I just got this one a couple of weeks ago. It's great, because it upconverts DVD Video via HDMI, which looks superb on my Infocus projector. SACD sounds really great, especially in multichannel. Redbo .......

I've listened to this album countless times in both the LP and SACD incarnation. I don't find the bass lacking at all, just the opposite – it's even more overwhelming in my current SACD-based system t .......

Posted by tgibbs on 2004-03-17, 10:20:41 (205.174.22.21)
Her first disc had been ultra-marketed by Blue Note for months and months prior to its release as an SACD. The market was totally saturated, with many outlets, Tower Records included, selling the disc .......

Like most of the posters on this forum, I get my fair share of SACDs shipped with cracked/broken or otherwise damaged cases. I recently ordered a case of replacement boxes from Sleeve City, and imagin .......

The Multichannel 9th is from a later recording, from the period when Karajan was contstanly fiddling with the knobs and destroying any sonic merits that his recordings otherwise might have held. The c .......

I bought the box the day it came out in December. The transfers are not from the original analog tapes, but from the 24/96 masters – at least we're getting it in full 24/96 resolution and not truncate .......

I've owned my 222es for about 16 months, and although it did require a long break-in period (I leave mine powered on continuously), I've been nothing but ecstatic about its redbook and SACD performanc .......

I've been married for almost 20 years, and have finally just about driven my wife into submission. About 10 years ago, we had a knock-down, drag-out about a recent equipment acquisition I'd made, and .......
