| Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s Thanks again for everyone's comments and suggestions. At this point I'm preparing to go to the store for a comparison listen and have narrowed it down to three integrated amplifiers. There's Mcintosh's MA9500, Hegel's H400, and Bryston's Bi200. ... | |
| Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s Thanks for everyone’s thoughtful responses. Crustycoot and Secretguy, that’s an idea that’s been rattling around in my brain (upgrading my Maggie’s) and would be less expensive than a new amp. Here’s where my ignorance shows however. I remember b... | |
| Peachtree Gan 400 What do you use for a pre amp? | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps Just wondering about hybrid integrated amps like Macintosh MA352. Does that represent a best of both worlds solution? Or is that more of a gimmick? | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. The Who - Who’s Next Taj Mahal - The Real Thing Charles Mingus - Ah Um Rosanne Cash - The River and The Thread Procol Harum - A Salty Dog Jimmy Buffett - A1A Grateful Dead - American Beauty MUSICAL BLISS!!! | |
| Favorite Obscure Rock Song Kudos to UZJ100 for nominating McGuiness Flint’s - When I’m Dead and Gone. I found it on Qobuz and heard it for the first time since high school 1970! Unfortunately it became an earworm and I found myself humming the chorus all day until I went to... | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming Because my better-half insists on having a land line telephone number we’re using the standard Xfinity rented modem with voice for 400 mb service. Is anyone in a similar situation who has purchased a modem with voice that they’re happy with? | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". Regarding Robbie’s behavior, I suppose musical genius and being a jerk are a not necessarily mutually exclusive. RIP to a gifted song writer. | |
| "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". I had the good fortune of seeing the Band twice. Once during the Last Waltz tour at the Spectrum In Philadelphia and again in Oct. 1983 at the Brandywine Club in Chadds Ford, PA. The difference between the two shows couldn’t have been more apparen... | |
| Is 12'x12' too small for Magnepan 1.7's? My thanks to all who offered advice and suggestions regarding my plight. I think, even if I had optimized the 12'x12' room from a listening standpoint I still would have felt a little claustrophobic with the arrangement. I finally dragged the ma... | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? Some great responses here to a great question. I would simply say picking at random a few of my favorites and listening for the joy of the artistry and any subtle instrumental nuances or undeciphered lyrics as yet unheard. | |
| Upgrade Internal DAC of Node or go with Atoll ST120. Looking at upgrading to a external DAC for my Bluesound Node Several folks mentioned bypassing the DAC in the Blue Sound Node and using an alternate DAC, but no one explains how that is done. Can someone help a neophyte ? | |
| Best progressive rock album side What a great topic! Plenty of forgotten albums I’ll have to rediscover on Tidal tonight. Aside from what’s offered I’d suggest A Salty Dog by Procol Harum. Though there’s not a single long composition, there are plenty of the other characteristics... | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs Classically speaking - Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis. I hope to hear this playing when I die, on my ascent into the next world. | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good Van Morrison - Moondance Charles Mingus - Ah Um Taj Mahal - The Real Thing The Band - Rock of Ages Stephen Stills - Manassas |
