| Jolida JD 100 PC suggestions Buy a cheap cord with the long term intention of upgrading the cd player. The CD-100 is a competent albeit unremarkable player that will inevitably have you realize its'limitations, tube rolling notwithstanding. | |
| B&W 804s vs. Von Schweikert VR4jr Cowscmhm, The same local store will push McIntosh and Audio Research just as hard as B&W. Resist their efforts. Both manufacturers offer nice gear. However, there are better and less expensive options for you to consider including VAC, BAT, Qu... | |
| Shakti Stones Do they actuall work guys. They work as well as the audio clocks and audio duplex covers. Maybe better. | |
| A good 50-70 watts tube amplifier for $ 2000? First, you won't need 70WPC for those speakers. Second, rather than a "current" model why not look for an older model amp from VAC, Quicksilver, Manley, Atma-Sphere, BAT, etc. You'll get very high quality and these companies provide excellent serv... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Jsonic,I also love Slick, Jagger, and most of the artists mentioned. I hope I get what you mean and think I do. However, my post was not meant to defend Mel Torme, Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow (well I guess that's indefensible), Bob Dylan or any... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Rock music is replete with lead singers that have limited range and/or "pleasing" voices. Dreadhead mentioned Janis Joplin. I couldn't agree more. Others include, Mick Jagger, Grace Slick (who by her own admission has only a fair voice), Eric Clap... | |
| Smooth Jazz Freak needs New Artists Michael Franks is cool. | |
| Best object in your listening room. Pictures of my kids. | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? I've listened to it about 10 times so far which IMO is far too little for any final evaluation. However, at this moment I feel Highway 61, Blonde on Blonde, and Blood on the Tracks are better.Everybody has their opinion on Dylan's best as evidence... | |
| Classical Football background Music I recall a compact disc called "The Power and the Glory" which featured music from the NFL film series. That probably isn't much help but it may be a starting point for you.Good luck. | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? Tvad's right. Andy is OCD with his products. I'd also love a crack at the "junk" bin. | |
| Are NBS cables are sound better than Nordost ? Lenox says:"Valhalla is the only cable who can let you hear the highest resolution".I vigorously disagree with this. There are a handful of interconnects from PAD, Stealth, Jena, Prana, etc. which are clearly superior to this overrated product. Ho... | |
| Bob Dylan's Modern Times, a new Masterpiece? Actually it's thiry years. Last time was 1976 with "Desire". | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... Nrchy,Good comments. I've been collecting music since the late 1950's. I still purchase many of the newest releases including the stuff from Dylan, Gabriel, Young et.al. Much of the current music from older artists is excellent; some even exceeds,... | |
| Anyone else evolve beyond tubes? OK Newbee perhaps I misunderstood. That being said doesn't 50% failure speak to an incredibly flawed design and/or quality control process? Imagine if US automobiles (oops bad example) or politicians (oops another one) or audio reviewers (ditto) p... |
