| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Nice to hear from you Leicachamp. Look what you started!It's not all sarcasm. Many audiophiles indulge a bit to relax their minds before/during listening sessions.However, for me, great music replayed well is the best natural high. I can't imagine... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Touché, Noromance... indeed! And Frogman, wow... I just got lost in that video. What a treat to see one of my favorite artists perform with my eyes actually open. And this happened even though I played it back on my laptop! So much for all the th... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Mr. Tennis-- Seems to me that Leicachamp is already doing what you suggested by posting his question to his audio community. Perhaps you mean that we as a group could not really help him and that maybe I should give him the name of my Shock Therap... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Hey Jtcf-- Glad we share the same surreal effect of our listening rituals! I enjoy those sessions immensely.Mapman-- I agree wholeheartedly. I got completely lost in the sound of my red plastic all-in-one record player in my early teens. Now, in m... | |
| How does one "Get lost in the music"? Hi everyone, it's been a while. System upgrade completed (could've bought a nice new car instead); everything finally broken-in. Happy beyond expectations with the life-like sound, which often sweeps me away. Hence, it was impossible to resist thi... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Congratulations Vhiner! Feels so good to arrive at a decision with all that excitement and no regrets, doesn't it? Wish I could hear your system, it "sounds" wonderful.Enjoy your Teflon-induced aural bliss. These are the moments we live for as aud... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners I looked at it... I would jump on that one, it seems in good shape and it will certainly drive the 3.7s! It's rare to see that model for sale, it won't last long. | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Cal3713: "And dammit, I don't usually fall prey to people talking up components, but I'm going to have to add a VAC amp to the list of interest. That was effective effusement."Thanks. I've been told I may have potential as a door to door religious... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Don't despair, Vhiner,If you're fast on the draw, you can sometimes find a used VAC Phi 200 on A'gon for about $5000. Not chump change, but better than $10,000! But you do have to ready to pull the trigger right away, as it's rare that someone wil... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners Vhiner,The specs are good, but they don't do justice to the sound. The Phi 200 is one of those special amps (it was just reviewed in the UK's HiFi Critic) that those who have heard it become part of this weird club of crazed enthusiasts (or maybe ... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners James,My musical tastes are very eclectic, so I need a speaker that can load my 23X23 room for listening to all my musical genres. In my reference collection that I use to audition sources, components, cables and speakers, you'll find some amazing... | |
| Attention Thiel CS3.7 owners I just bought Thiel CS 3.7s last week. I auditioned them at my local dealer with a 100 watt Macintosh tube amp and a Mac pre, which reproduced wonderful sound and were at least somewhat comparable to the performance of my VAC gear at home.I also a... | |
| Best MC step up transformer Hey Jjrenman,Well said. Even considering the excellent parts quality in the preamp I tested it with, when you replace a GOOD element in the delicate MC signal path (say, the designer chose an in-built $200 output transformer) with a GREAT $1200 SU... | |
| Is the Townshend Rock 7 "the" giant killer? Ggavetti,That's what this entire crazy hobby is all about (for me, anyway)... Falling in love with gear that makes the sound that moves your spirit. Congratulations! It doesn't get better than that... until it does!Cheers and happy listening.Alón | |
| Review: Bob's Devices MC StepUp Transformer 1131 Blue SUT Tube preamp OK, I know a SUT is not a tube preamp... for some reason the system inserted that at the end of my review title. |
