| List or discuss your favorite music To David99, I'm a Ram is most probably the version done by Roy Buchanan. He is a Blues/Rock artist, and has done this song on at least two releases. One is from 1975, On Polydor #2391152, and the other is a newer (1992) anthology. The song is orig... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Carl, I have heard the LO4, it is an excellent cartridge. The last cartridge I used before my Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum was the Benz Ruby, from the same family of designs as your LO4. My choice in audio cable is Purist Dominus RLS. My Aes... | |
| comments on Naim Audio One important thing, anyone buying this equipment should avoid being a NAIM DROPPER, it could run into money. (Sorry, I remembered Naim's ad's where they did a word play on this very pun). Any company that takes such liberty with their own tradema... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music One more passionate LP, (female vocal). Elizabeth Fraser, the seductive and mystical voice of "This Mortal Coil" and "Cocteau Twins" on 4AD records. | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Passionate LP's! Female vocals that force me to sit for long hours in front of the system. Jenny Warnes, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush, Sarah McLachlan, Stevie Nicks (only on Buckingham Nicks album). Female Jazz Vocals that are important to me are Anit... | |
| What happen to favorite music list? Drumsgreg, I just left there, it is alive and well and running at the Sound Advice side of postings. The date code being wrong was the problem (I guess). Anyway, it is there and I will go post something again to try to keep it alive. The Blues guy... | |
| Speakers: all-time favorite Mwp7373. I sold those speakers at a high end store about the time you describe. I remember also that they would play incredibly loud for their size. We used an Audio Research tube preamp and BGW amps (a commercial transistor amp), with the Transcr... | |
| What happen to favorite music list? There was ( I guess) a date code error at Audiogon, the postings had a strange date and got slammed to the VERY BOTTOM of the page, although the posting was new! Please revisit Sound Advise and continue with your postings and comments, I was enjoy... | |
| Old EL34 The problem with responding to this is that Mullard EL34, like other tubes, respond differently in different circuits. It depends on if they are run in triode, ultra linear, etc. Also, you need to consider how long a life you will be getting from ... | |
| best 2 channels power amp around $3k? Johnmbod, I don't know where you have been listening, but if the audio dealer that did a multi amp demo for you showed you no difference in sound, then you need to listen at another store. He must have had such poor equipment that he obscured the ... | |
| counterpoint NPS 400 with upgrade Mike Elliott is a superior designer, he has been responsible for some of the best and most important audio products around. As far as performance, I suspect that if you just got your amps back that you may have as much as six weeks ahead of you in... | |
| HELP --- Optical Cable Dilemna There is PVC pipe made for electrical (romex) installation, available at Home Depot and similar stores (I like the dark gray). There are "C" shaped clips that mount the pipe to the wall, so it looks like a regular electrical conduit (especially in... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube David, I don't know if I can help, the comments from Drumsgreg are correct in that you should seek advice from Rogue. They know about their product much better than I. As far as Kevin, his advice is excellent, and he is probably not keen on promis... | |
| List or discuss your favorite music Mikhail, when you have a "live" source, its hard to compete with electronics. Kind of like my photography trying to compete with looking out ANY window (at reality). Good point, and hope other Audiogon posters will list music that we can consider ... | |
| Whats the best and quietest 12AX7 tube David, the Sovtek 12AX7 LPS is the spiral version of the LP, some people have reported that after as little as 60 days that particular tube begins the tube rush (noise) you report. The good news is that either version is very cheap (LP or LPS, may... |
