Girl from Ipanima passed away As Getz said: "She was a housewife that got lucky." Meaning she didn't deserve her recognition. I disagree. Unpretentious, honest vocals are truly a rarity Her daughter has the same quality. Truly amazing singers that make owning a real stereo wo... | |
For Chet Baker Fans (and all fans of great music) excellent!!! I love Chet Baker too but kept buying poorly recorded stuff (especially CDs can be worthless) I'll order some LPs and get in the Chet groove, He is so mesmerizing and therapeutic. Unless any other! Seems to play from a place so genuin... | |
Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source Put together any tube amp and the hyper efficient Klipsch Lascalas (or Klipschorn) and that efficiency will dredge the bottom of the amp's circuit mercilessly revealing the slightest hum, Paul Klipsch must not have minded this issue. (Early on he ... | |
what cd player ? Well, I have owned the Audiolab CDT6000 for about a year shy a couple months and it has this weird tendency to skip once in a while. The disc usually is pristine and strangely can be played again with no trouble. While its rare and getting more ra... | |
Parasound CD-1 CD's here about 95% unless a vinyl recording brings more quality. Some older CD's sound like they were dubbed from 8-track. Yet I too am on the chase the best CD playback. Therefore I'm keen to hear the above discussion. Streaming is hopeless in m... | |
How rare is an audiophile Audiophile: "A music lover/hobbyist who acquires high fidelity equipment in an attempt to replicate music to a high degree of sonic accuracy." . | |
How rare is an audiophile Hey Dinov (above) youre in Florida Panhandle? Me too! Thats two rare ducks in basically the same back woods as me. The LP store in Destin area has a nice selection of LP's and even was selling some used gear. The 'on-line' businesses have crushed ... | |
How rare is an audiophile Excellent question! I've often thought the same about how rare is the audiophile. I'm in the construction industry. After a hard day many seek some kind of relief. Many use music to distract from boredom on job sites. More often now, (Happily) pho... | |
Audiophiles on Audiogon. Like many here. I scan posts to see if helpful ideas or products have escaped my notice. Often I've gleaned some tip from reading another's experience with some equipment. Like the question: Are my speakers 'in phase'? Not everyone instantly knows... | |
Casual listening Lets say you go out to eat. All you want is a steak cooked right but the chef has it too salty or too well or its too tough. You never would have "evaluated' the steak quality unless some "distortion" would have caught your attention. You intended... | |
Tube amps - what 3 things… Three things I would look for: 1. A sub out option. Some tube amps are sort of bare bones items but the sub out on mine really makes things convenient 2. Autobias feature. I was afraid of tubes due to the complexity compared to SS. If tubes can be... | |
What is the current retail cost of your reference system? Hard to say since to claim Klipsch Lascalas II retail for roughly $5000 each. The new version is much higher, I bought B stock which has played flawlessly for over 5 years. My amp was about $4000. Source components are about another $5000. Cabling... | |
Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ? Out of sheer practicality, I decided to buy dollies to place under my Klipsch Lascalas. At 175 lbs. each moving them conveniently was impossible. However, the sizes of dollies were less than ideal and seeing how simple they were, I decided to buil... | |
Klipsch Speakers At present, I’ve got the SVS SB-2000 pro sub, Raven Blackhawk tube integrated, Audiolab 6000 CDT CD transport, Nuprime 9 SE DAC, Klipsch Lascsla II, Tellurium Q Black II speaker cables, (same for interconnects), U-turn turntable with homemade susp... | |
Klipsch Speakers I’ve owned klipsch Lascala Ii’s for several years. As I’ve changed components, the Klipsch have radically transformed in sound quality. Interconnects, amps, and cartridges all created significant effects. Once too bright, then too soft…they reflec... |
