| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones I dunno, that Yoko is a tough cookie. And, I know the Stones has a tough "image" and all but, please, a sissy and a couple of junkies versus a junky and a couple of sissies? Ha! It would probably boil down to Ringo vs. Charlie. My money woulda bee... | |
| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones I take it that you're assuming the Beatles pre-Yoko. :-) | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? Are we listening to the same LP? The Borg? Wow. | |
| Donald Fagen's Nightfly - Love it or Hate it? Nightfly, to me, is an all-time classic. I recall being floored hearing Fagen do "Walk Between the Raindrops". The arrangement in that song is, well, perfect...leading me to ask ,Does anyone know what the above poster means when they say "too perf... | |
| The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones Anyone who says "c'mon" to the Beatles, or even worse, "neither", was either not around or not listening enough to appreciate their respective influence first hand, or has absolutely no concept with respect to the history of rock and roll.Sorry, b... | |
| Steely Dan covers? The Velvet Fog asking Gretchen to pour him a Cuban Breeze? :-) | |
| Quicksilver V4 w/ Vandersteen 5 A I'm using a Platinum Modded McCormack DNA-225 with my 5's and it is one of the finest combos I've ever heard - SS or tube. Next stop - monoblock 225's. | |
| Accuphase E-202 Integrated Arthur, yes, the $700 would be for a thorough going through and replacement of most every cap, relay, diode etc., and re-soldering all PC connections from my understanding of their process (though I haven't heard from them at all). Initially, and ... | |
| Accuphase E-202 Integrated Thanks. Good tip on the speaker wires as those lugs are a pain. I saw some "converters" sold buy a guy in Hong Kong that might be a solution, as well - but still one more connection.After some other input, and considering that this one coul dnot b... | |
| Accuphase E-202 Integrated Thanks for the messages. Yes, Jaybo, the phono stage has turned out to be just EXCELLENT. The more I hear this piece, the better I like hearing this piece! | |
| 25' balanced ic that a mere mortal can afford? Based on previous experience, I gotta go with Nsgarch, here. | |
| Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable I used some of the orange HD's for a rear set of HT speakers cause I had to run them under the house through the crawl space (it's a long story). They sound fine in that position though I did not compare them to anything else. | |
| Richard Vandersteen at Audio Connection I've always loved his speakers - and have a pair of Fives now.If you want to ask Vandersteen a question - he has a "responsive" Q&A on his website. Post a question - he answers. | |
| Stock McCormack DNA 225 vs DNA 1 Rev A What are you, the on topic, police?I have not owned a DNA1 and, unlike some of us, I try not to say too much about things I have not owned personally. I've heard the DNA-1 and I think the 225 bests it stock for stock. I also heard a DNA-1 Deluxe t... | |
| Stock McCormack DNA 225 vs DNA 1 Rev A I liked very much my stock DNA-225. However, having Steve and Kris upgrade it to include Steve's Platinum Revision has made it one of the best amps I've ever heard, at any price (and that is quite a few). |
