| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? >>that weird vibraphone or vibraboard to make that eerie sound<<It's called a theremin. | |
| What is the best doors album in your opinion? Tough call."The Doors" is pure raw energy and "LA Woman" shows the band's maturation and polish."Break on Through" may be the best opening cut of any debut album. | |
| Question about 5u4 tubes ? Check with both Andy at Vintage Tubes Services and Audiogon member Jsautter.They offer superb and well tested products at fair prices.Both stand behind every sale which IMO is critical when purchasing vintage tubes. | |
| Upgrade bug has hit, interested in Pass Labs Amps >>I agree with Soix and Audiofeil, dollar-for-dollar you get the greatest improvement by upgrading the speakers<<Whoa, Nellie.I never said that. My contention is every system should be built around speakers that knock your socks out. A... | |
| Upgrade bug has hit, interested in Pass Labs Amps >>01-10-09: ArbuckleI totally disagree about speakers first<<That's a shame because you're dead wrong.Speakers first followed by an amp that matches them.It's that simple. | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? The album is very good and I suppose overrated; personally I prefer "Surfin USA" and "Surfer Girl".However, it's a marvelous showcase for Brian Wilson's production and vocal arranging skills.That is the "genius" of the album IMO. | |

| "Classic Yes" album question... If your copy is "unlistenable" I suggest you have a tonearm/cartridge alignment problem or mismatched components.Using a number of tonearm and cartridge combinations here, the passages you cite track perfectly and without sibilance.If your copy is... | |
| "Classic Yes" album question... >>None of the Yes recordings from the 70's were "audiophile" quality<<Baloney."Fragile" and "The Yes Album" are wonderful. | |

| Anyone Have A Few Queen UK 1970's 1st Pressings?? I have both original UK and US pressings of "A Night at the Opera".The UK pressing may be a bit more defined but I wouldn't go out of my way (and money) to find a copy unless it's a trophy you're after. | |
| Krell or Anthem ??? That's hardly representative of the better integrateds under $10K.You're still blowing smoke and dancing around the 11/28/08 "Stomps the 400xi and blows away most of the competition under 10K" remark. You haven't addressed any of the serious compe... | |
| Cardas Neutral Ref IC v Cross IC Sonic traits?? What you hear and prefer is not necessarily what somebody else prefers. Or is right. Or is wrong. Or is better. Or is worse.
