| Best phone preamp for around $500? The Musical Surroundings Phonomena II can be found for that price and is very well reviewed. I love mine. Here is a II+ for $525. That is a great deal. I'd jump on it if I wasn't so comfortable with my II.https://www.audiocircle.com/index.php?topi... | |
| Furukawa power cables The points made by @biketech60 reinforce my belief that the main problem with high-end cables is the shameless mark up. The just don't cost anywhere near, as in not in the same universe, what it costs to manufacture, distribute, and ship. How can ... | |

| Speed kills.... @russellrcncom ,Best of luck! I can relate. Let me know how you make out. in line with @nagel's comments, I've found a fast Class D amp leans in that direction. Mine's a Primare I32. I bet the I35 is nuts. | |
| Speed kills.... I don't know why Duke introduced Stax headphones; but that was exactly what I thought when I read the OP. Is there any way you could audition them, Russ? | |
| Where to put one's best power cords?? I leave mine at the manufacturer. It saves the most money. | |
| Opinions on these budget integrateds? I've only heard the Belles Aria and, briefly, the PL Dialogue. The Dialogue impressed me; but I don't recall the speakers. I would have bought the Aria if it had balance control. My ears are not equal. I listened extensively with Vandersteen Treo ... | |
| For those of us over 60.. Neil Young (especially with Crazy Horse); but Stevie Ray Vaughn and I have a lot in common.....except talent. | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? @bdp24 , Have you heard Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes' version? Homage to the Four Tops with an injection of Jersey Juice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hG6iNPyE4CkNo. that is not Adam Sandler on lead guitar. ;^) | |
| What improvements did you hear in going from entry level to high end Audio? When I went from a juvenile all-in-one TT/radio/speakers to a 25 watt Kenwood receiver, Dual 1218 with a Shue cartridge, and some neat little speakers a friend gave me (don't know what they are, but they still play after 45 years) the main thing I... | |
| A song murdered by someone. Technically, it's not a cover version since it was the songs first release; but I just heard Nico's version of Jackson Browne's "These Days" on the radio for the first time yesterday. Murdered might have been the literal description, since if that... | |
| Your Favorite Cover Songs? He Called Me Baby, all due respect to Patsy Cline; but I think Candy Staton owns that one now, especially since One eskim0 paid her tribute in their Kandi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_tBHoRaxns | |
| Neutral or Detailed. You can't have both I think in the real world, many of us who have more time and money to spend on our systems are getting up there in age. I am one of those. I know I have a rolled of high end starting at 12 kHz and a dip at about 5 kHz and I doubt if I can hear any... | |
| This is juvenile... @oregonpapa , never heard of Carol Kidd before. Thanks. I love Crystal Gayle's version of When I Dream, too.My answers: As a kid, Linda Ronstadt. No contest!Now, when I imagine myself young again, I think it would be Eileen Rose.https://www.youtub... | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. I ave to jump right in without reading beyond the second post, so forgive me if I post any dupes.@slaw , I am so happy to see another Nicole Atkins fan. Neptune City is indeed a favorite, as is the Bleeding Diamonds EP that preceded it. I highly r... |
