| Need assistance in selecting an integrated/power amp. I recently heard a Belles Aria integraed ($1,900) with Vandersteen Treo speakers ($6,900). It was an awesome combination. Very impressive!I know that is over your budget of about $6,000 combined; but I think the Aria is a very, very good value and... | |
| TurnTable Quest I don't know where the $1,000 budget came from (not the OP?), but for about that you can Get a Thorens 240, a Sota Moonbeam III, or a Pro-Ject RPM 3, since you like decoupled motors. I don't think you will get a worthy VPI in that range.One to kee... | |
| Favorite guitar players not named...... Good call on Glenn Campbell. I never knew how good he was until recently.I saw a Jimmy Webb concert and he played a video of Glenn doing MacArthur Park. Check it out at about the 4:30 mark. His health is already affecting his voice in this one; bu... | |
| Your first component that was "special" I could say my Stax SR-40 electret head phones. My first amazing transducer, Shure V15 III notwithstanding. Circa 1980. Still enjoying them.Or the Linn Basik I bought last year that re-infected me with the stereo bug and introduced me to vintage b... | |
| Phono Stage for Marantz 5009? I was told by Schitt to leave their phono preamp powered up all the time for best performance. For a moving magnet cartridge I have used a Schiit Mani and an Emotiva XPS-1. Both are quite reasonably priced and sound good to me. They also got good ... | |
| New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP! How do we know it's not our neurons that are burning in and getting used to a new sound? | |
| Looking for SACD player............ Pirius,Is the Lexicon still that good? I worry about buying a player that is over 10 years old. Do you know the model # of the remote? Have yo ever compared it to a Marantz or Oppo of the same era? | |
| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen Love Chinnok. Badlands is one of my favorite LPs and definitely stands the test of time. I don't remember why I bought it, but I'm glad I did. Never heard much about him and I don't think I ever met anyone else who ever heard of him. I noticed tha... | |
| Long lost songs Can someone help?Heard the song once about 12 years ago, maybe.Sounded like Phil Collins.Some of the words were along the lines:'Don't go by the water' or don't go somewhereand 'If they can do it to her, they can do it to you' | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Candi Staton - EvidenceOne Eskimo turned me on to her. | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You crazyeddy,I can relate to what you are saying. But there are some songs that got my attention the first time I heard them and I still haven't gotten enough of them. This thread seeks to identify those recordings.But I, too, have a box full of 'Wha... | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Hey! I loved Crazy Horse. | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You Bruce Springsteen's first 3 albums.As soon as I read the reference 'The Next Dylan' my mind snapped shut like a steel trap.Born to Run had been out about a year when my girlfriend practically locked me in her dorm room and forced me to listen to i... | |
| Songs that have stood the test of time. Gimme Some Lovin' - Spencer Davis Group. It's been covered at least 65 times; but nothing comes close to the original. THE definitive rock song!Hallelujah has got to get a mention, I agree. Jeff Buckley's version on SACD gives me chills.I didn't s... | |
| Long lost songs Some one post some thing! I miss searching. I'm depressed. |
