| What time do you wear? Stainless steel Omega Seamaster which I usually wear, a TAG Heuer Formula 1 with a red dial I wear to auto events in my 1966 Corvette, a stainless steel Mickey Mouse watch and several others cheapies that mostly sit in a drawer.. | |
| Best SS preamp $1000 You might consider a couple of McIntosh Preamps. The C712 and C15. Both have remote controls. Both usually sell for under $1000.00 here on Audiogon.. | |
| HDMI cable differences I used to be in the commercial video editing and media duplication business. Believe it or not, I have used budget mass market HDMI cables that I've bought at wholesale for under $10.00 and seen little or no difference in picture quality vs. some ... | |
| Is JM Lab 927 BE better than Electra 936? I have 927BEs and love the sound. Have them paired with a McIntosh 2002 200 watt amp...Superb dynamics, highs and midrange..As well as plenty of bass punch for my 11 X 14 listening room | |
| Do connection/contact solutions work or not? I use a product called STABILANT 22A; which is an electrical contact enhancer. It has been around for a long time and is used heavily in the electronics industry. I own a 20 year old media duplication and media editing company; and have used it ex... | |
| Where to buy nice audio chairs / loveseats? We have a dual reclining loveseat in leather that we bought from LazyBoy this past winter and it's well made and very comfortable. In fact, I've lost track of the times I've fallen asleep in it fully reclined. Not sure of the price, but their high... | |
| speakers for classical music Well I moved up to a pair of JM Lab 927BE Speakers and the midrange and highs are simply light years beyond the older Thiels I had for some time. Truly a great speaker and usually a pair comes up on Audiogon every month or so. They also look as go... | |
| audiophiles get mention in today's WSJournal I agree that the Wall Street Journal article had a biased view of audiophiles - but don't forget it's still the nation's leading financial newspaper. And their website is one of the most active on the internet. | |
| Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system Might look into the smaller 700 series JM Lab speakers. I have a pair of JM Lab 714S speakers paired with a McIntoch receiver in our family room and they sound great - especially once I got them positioned and installed the spikes. | |
| Did anyone see the Rolling Stone article? Maybe the real question is if anything in Rolling Stone has any real validity. I don't know an adult over 40 that even reads that rag. And I rarely see it on news stands. Sure there are always doomsayers yapping about how CDs and the music industr... | |
| How many hours weekly do you listen to your system Maybe 8-10 hours a week. I listen to classical FM in the mornings monday through friday for about an hour or so each day. And another 4 or 5 hours mostly on weekends. I'm getting back into enjoying more listening since I've recently bought some JM... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? JM Lab Be 900 Series Speakers might work. Slim cabinets with furniture grade finishes. I just upgraded from older Thiels to JM Lab 927Bes and my girlfriend liked the fact that they have a smaller footprint and nicer finish. | |
| Vinyl Nightmare - flooding in Western WA Sorry to hear about that. I'm in Portland,OR and as you know we also had more than our share of flooding issues here as well. Though the hundreds of record album covers are probably ruined, I suspect the records can be dried out carefully, cleaned... | |
| Stereophile or Absolute Sound I've subscribed to both over the years. Currently, I'm only subscribing to Stereophile. I do enjoy "Sam's Space". Yes - I know he shills for way to many products - but he's an entertaining read most of the time. I suspect I will give TAS a try as ... | |
| Cable Elevators Thanks For posting this thread. I am going to give this tweek a try this weekend with some wood blocks. If it improves the sound of my new JM Lab speakers, so much the better. |
