| Celtic Thunder More traditional than rock styling, but try Temple Records artists: Battlefield Band, Alison Kinnaird, Christine Primrose... | |

| Speakers for MC240/C22 I pair my MC-40s with original Snell E's. I got them very inexpensively, but that allowed me to have them re-built by Miller Sound. Very happy... I should mention that the Macs are not quite original: upgraded caps and rca's. | |
| What is your favorite tv theme song/composition? What is this TV thing? I remember getting very excited about hearing "The Lone Ranger" on the radio. I think my earliest memory was standing up in my crib listening to the Popeye theme on the radio. I guess I do remember, after a while, the radio ... | |
| Danny Boy - Recommendations Al, thanks for the Paul Robeson reminder. My folks visited when my first good system was new. My mom is Welsh and has been a Robeson admirer since she was young, so I played my best Robeson vinyl for her (I have the Vanguard and some others). His ... | |
| Anyone using a USB DSD DAC? I heard that it was only an older model of the Sony PlayStation that can play a DSD disc. I just received my Korg MR-1000, so I am counting on future developments to exploit the format. For now, I want to be able to record vinyl through my preamp.... | |
| Audio Research Preamp Experts? I don't get the fortune in maintenance for the SP-11 MkII. I recently had mine completely serviced by ARC authorized tech (High End Audio Repair in Brooklyn) and it was very reasonable even if I did supply the NOS tubes (Telefunken CCA for phono a... | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt Howdy Doody (Clarabell, Mister Bluster, Flubadub, Princess Summerfall Winterspring, and I just read that Chief Thunderthud's greeting was "Kowabonga!") on a 5" square b/w TV, but later I got to be on the show in the "Peanut Gallery" at Rockefeller... | |
| Opinions on Benz Gullwing SLR Yeh! I have already started building the circular track, but I am having trouble finding someone to cut the vinyl that large. It is going to take a pretty large stadium, so I was wondering what speakers. Also 33rpm is maybe a little fast, even for... | |
| The old timers give the young'ns tips on the 60s. Off the radar... at least not mentioned yet: Sir Douglas Quintet, Sandy Bull, Harvey Mandel, The Animals, Them, West Coast Experimental Pop Art Band (saw them live with The Mothers of Invention), Ian & Sylvia, Country Joe and the Fish, Moody B... | |
| Best driving music. This takes me back a few (!) years, but my most memorable experience driving to music was with "Equinox" from the "Coltrane's Sound" album. This was not pushing the speed limit, but settling back in the groove music... very "groovy"! | |
| Canned Heat Live at the Kaliedescope Lounge Yes! I have been a fan since I heard their first album. I saw them live in 1968 (sorry, neither drugged nor naked, but still a great concert). I now have a vinyl copy of "Future Blues". It has Harvey Mandel (whom I am also a fan of since hearing C... | |
| 'they blew'em off the stage' I didn't think anyone would remember the Loading Zone. They made the bill with the Who at the Fillmore in '67, but they did not blow away the Who. The real ear opener was some unknown group not even on the bill - Santana! I saw the poster for sale... | |
| Which preamp is good for mcintosh mc275? In line with Nsgarch's comments, I have been finding that I like the counter-intuitive combination of my Spectral DMC6 pre-amp with my Mac MC-40's. The MC-40's have upgraded caps and NOS tubes and sound very good, but they are plenty "warm" enough... | |
| Any Young Audiophiles Out There? If you are young, protect your ears. Being over 50 doesn't necessarily mean that your hearing is worse than a younger person's. Heavy bass in car stereo's, loud live concert music, ear bud's turned way up can take their toll no matter what age you... |
