| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen See also the Perpetual Merry-go-round Thread. You need to find a system that helps the music connect with you. | |
| Norah Jones? I can't believe I forgot Fiona Apple. I love listening to those albums. I really get a kick (literally!) of the bass on some of those. There is one in particular but the name and album escape me. And what ever happened to Liz Phair? | |
| Your local library When I got my first CD player in middle school, I couldn't afford CDs, so I borrowed them from the library. My library borrowing habits nowadays tend to be Jazz (since I am least familiar with it), obscure classical and lots of opera. Sometimes yo... | |
| Norah Jones? I didn't think the sound quality was all that good on the Norah Jones albums. The old Madonna stuff, especially the 12inch singles are better. Way better dynamics which surprised me. Maybe try some of the Allison Krauss (sp?)albums? She sounds les... | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Don't get me started on uninvolving. My Music Hall is about an uninvolving as they come. I have the MMF-2.1 BTW. Sure the frequency extremes and soundstaging is better than a thorens 166/hadcock 242/grado gold, but that's about it. The Michell Gyr... | |
| Love it, or Hate it ? (wood trim) Neutral, USA. If it's tastefully done, all take it. I tend to prefer polished chrome and similar finishes. | |
| Song intros that really grab you? ? -Beethoven: Sym #5 (the whole first movement), -Beethoven: Fur Elise-Arthur Pryor: "Blue Blues of Scotland" (I love that trombone intro, I've played it countless times on my horn)-Nine Inch Nails: "Head Like a Hole"-Metallica: "Enter Sandman" (Thi... | |

| Vinyl Reason Thanks Nrchy. | |
| Teres vs VPI, SME, Origin Live, etc. Hey Am Dial! But most people have an ALT key and a numeric keypad. You can get all of the extended characters if you know the code (is that ASCII, ansi, or unicode?) alt and a numeric keypad. No option key needed!Aaron | |
| Anyone using Supratek amps No problem. Heck that thread is so long I wouldn't be surprised if the Supretek power amps were also discussed as well! | |
| Musical SS Amp Under $350 w/ Adcom GFP 565 Pre Amp Maybe trade the pre and power amp in for tubes? A tube integrated might work. I think you should take Rich's comments seriously. Make sure you are upgrading for a reason. B&K or Acurus have some amps in that price range that are somewhat music... | |
| Vinyl Reason For sound quality, and the $1-per-record used classical records. It's a great way to augment my CD collection. The record player more than pay for itself in that regard. It takes a cetain connoisseur to be able to certain and play records in this ... | |
| Anyone using Supratek amps Geoff, I think he means 'power amplifiers' and not full featured preamplifers or linestages. | |
| Categorizing records Readerware software on your PC then synchronize the DB to your Palm O/S PDA. No computer bootup needed. The palm starts up within seconds. Works for vinyl, CDs, DVDs, books, etc. Anything. The neat thing is that you can take the palm with you when... |
