| My All Time Christmas Song followed by O Holy NIght Yes! Both are good but "O Holy Night" Has a great melody IMO | |
| My All Time Christmas Song I always liked several pieces from "The Nutcracker", especially "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" It has a magical sense of sound IMO. But the Ballet as a whole has that sense of wonder & Awe. Maybe its a leftover from my childhood when it was a... | |
| Bob Ludwigs own Copy for sale @tablejockey 50+ years later, the only difference now is arthritis and a real Les Paul! Too funny. I can relate | |
| Tung-Sol 7581A......Wow!! Wow! Glad to see so many 7581 tube lovers. @mulveling I see you are using them in a Rogue ST-100 amp. That amp has been coming into view for me for the last 2 weeks. I thought they only used the KT 120. Its nice to learn that they use a variety ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Mf-2500a amp and PF-1 Preamp Recap? CJ gear is top tier equipment and well worth fixing if you are going to keep it. The 2500a gets lots of love from its owners. I recapped my CJ PFR preamp and it was well worth the $$$ spent. | |
| Bob Ludwigs own Copy for sale @tablejockey They are out there, in various degrees of ruin from being stacked and played on the BSR all in one rigs from the 70's Old Zep friends and I enjoyed it the other night because of this thread-thanks! The mighty Zep and the rest are... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode @mulveling There’s some paranormal audiophile force that makes us feel like the more "purist" approach must always be better: triode versus pentode, DHT versus separate heaters, single-ended versus push-pull, ladder-dac versus delta-sigma, disc... | |
| I hate to say it, but now I think maybe I like my amp in ultralinear mode versus triode The jury is still out on this, but I do have some CDs in mind that I want to listen to over the next few days as I continue to evaluate. Sounds like a good thing to me if music comes to mind and then to your system. not sure why you "hate to sa... | |
| Are using hearing aids for stereo listening like trying to push a river through a straw? said it was like trying to push a river through a straw! I think I would stay away from him. It sounds like he has little understanding of his product or little faith in it. Hearing aides have a very similar task as subwoofers. They only ampli... | |
| Bob Ludwigs own Copy for sale @tablejockey I agree with you. My only thought is that the RL pressing is somewhat legendary as is Zep, themselves. Maybe it's the historic value. But then I think about how obscure this might be in 30 yrs. Then too, collectors are a breed which ... | |
| Music Hall Classic Turntable I'm surprised some smart a** hasn't chimed in saying "yes, switch to a XYZ brand of table for the upgrade". Why is that such a bad answer @rpeluso? My thought is that an external phono preamp is a good move if you don't already have one. And ... | |
| An audio component you just can't let go Harman Kardon 730 receiver I bought it new in 1978 It was my first real system with great sound with the Large (Orig) Advent speakers Teac V770 Cassette player Came around early mid 80’s. Just forgot about it. Just like Magnavox CDP 650 CD Player... | |
| Why does USB feature so much in discussions about DACs when the newer HDMI seems better? @richardbrand Why is it so? You'll have to talk to the Accountants, then Marketing, Then the Lawyers who must grease the palms of the proper officials who will make sure they have your complete cooperation with the proper authorities who wil... | |
| PSAudio Directstream DAC M-1 (refurb) vs Denafrips Venus II. Quick decision needed! @yesiam_a_pirate I had a DirectStream Mk 1. It sounded good to me but I didn't like it's streamer card Ill give a hearty Amen on that. I'm not sure I ever got it working...at least not correctly. DaC is fine for now. It plays well with my sy... | |
| Tube Preamp with "pass through" for HT option? Conrad Johnson has theater pass through. |
