Audiophiles are older than dirt
25 out of 25. Was a victim of Butch wax. I'll never forget my father massaging my scalp while my brothers made fun of me.For 2 bits one could purchase a soda and a big candy bar, then return the bottle for 2 cents and buy a popsicle.I still have t... 
Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation?
A couple months back. Was in front of my system listening to "Little Red Rooster", by Sugar Blue, off the "In Your Eyes" CD. Man can play the harp with a lot of feeling. I always play this tune with quite a bit more volume than usual.Pass Labs X25... 
I'll never listen to another record...
Get yourself some MFSL original master sleeves to put them in after you clean them. Your old paper sleeves will add dust to them as soon as you re-insert them. The MFSL are anti-static as well. That's what I do with mine. Save any original sleeves... 
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
What makes me upset is how some people don't really care about what the Op is asking about. They just have to throw in their 2 cents worth of negativity to get some sort of reaction they know would be coming. Just looking for a juicy thread to sta... 
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. When it's used to cast a negative view is unproductive when the OP was looking for positive results. This is getting ugly. 
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
I don't like classical, but I don't call it crap. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it crap. I suppose anything some of you don't agree with is all crap. Tired of this. He didn't ask for negatives. Sounds to me like he is looking for oth... 
CDP with "holographic" sound for less than 1000?
Chelillingworth, I'm wondering why you would stay away from the CDP's discussed here that have the tube output stage. Could you elaborate a bit on your reasons? How much more expensive are you talking? What associated equipment were you using with...

12AX7 tube alternatives for Jolida JD-100
I think you'll like these. The Svetlanas I was using lacked good bottom end, so I put down some serious money for the Sylvanias, which really improved pretty much everything. But they brought along some serious bottom end, a little too much for my... 
Any David Arkenstone fans?
He is on the first three of the seven total DCC New Age Omni cd's that were being auctioned here in the music section, listed in the "other" category, from Better Records. I don't see them listed now. You may want to check them out. Many different...

Windham Hill an audiophile label?
I counted 25 lp's on one shelf. Every now and again I get in this mode where I'll play many of them one after the other. I agree with others that they are of very good quality. 
Your Favorate JBL's from the 70's
Started out with a set of L-26's in '75. Bought a set of L-166's while still serving in the military in '79. Tried a set of 4312's in the 90's. Now have Wilson's in the main system, a set of L-166's in the basement hooked up to a Marantz 2252 rece... 
12AX7 tube alternatives for Jolida JD-100
I tried the Sylvania 5751 triple mica black plate and loved the richness, but not the heavy bottom end. Went back to the Svetlana 12ax7's until someone posted something about the Chinese Full Music 12ax7's. I bought a pair for around 70 dollars, a...
