  14. Aurora - The Absolute Sound(TAS) 2001 Artistic Creation: 7.2 / 10 Entertainment : 7.5 / 10 Recording Quality : 7.3 / 10 Comments : Got this copy from Taiwan. I have a TAS 2003 that I got locally. It's not ready a one-to-one comparison, but the background for it is 'darker and quieter' than the 2003, thus the listening is more pleasing. Or my ears are trying to fool me? http://www.aurora.ws/

  16. PentaTone - Stay in Tune with PentaTone (SACD) Artistic Creation: 7 / 10 Entertainment : 6.5 / 10 Recording Quality : 7 / 10 Comments : feel that the music pieces are more tuned for multi-channel system.
  17. Hi Offroad, likely is that your 590 is revealing all the shortcomings from your media source and the amplification. Would suggest that you try your 590 with a CD player and a dedicated headphone amp. $100 for 590 is a good buy. I have attached a PDF with some info on the 590 for forumers who want to know more about it. HD590.pdf
  18. i Weilian - Chen Wei Lian Artistic Creation: 7.4 / 10 Entertainment : 7 / 10 Recording Quality : 6.2 / 10 Comments : My preferred song in the album - Fill up your Loneliness with my True Heart. This song was written in the early 90's. Support our local artist!
  19. Yvinek - Recycling the future http://www.myspace.com/yvinek Artistic Creation: 7 / 10 Entertainment : 7 / 10 Recording Quality : 6 / 10 Comments : Electronica!
  20. Hi niccon, You would still need a headphone amp to get the most out of u ATH w1000. Consonance 120 - can check with New Disk Village. Vimak - not sure but should be one of the shop in Aldephi. CEC - u want to check with our resident dealer here SE? ESound - not sure also but should be one of the shop in Aldephi. Shanling - Shangling T100 was $2000 about 2-3 years ago at Larry Hifi, I almost bought it but I had later chanced upon an used Marantz Sa17. Good luck in u search!
