| Green Mountain Audio at RMAF I can understand Tlday's response - I doubt Europas will impress anyone on first listen unless conditions are appropriate. I bought my Europa's used, having not listened to them previously. I did so based on all of the raves on this site and elsew... | |
| GMA Europa owners use what amp? I've driven mine in 3 configurations - in my primary system I have B&K M200 Sonata monoblocks. I've also used them for the fronts in a HT system driven by a B&K AV5125. Finally, I tried them with a Bedini 100.100 for a bit. The best result... | |
| Acoustic Progressive Rock Acoustic Strawbs "Baroque and Roll" is fantastic. Several bands have good "mostly" acoustic songs mixed oin on their albums - including Porcupine Tree, Rennaisance, Illusion, and Mostly Autumn. Anthony Philips stuff is good. While they're not exac... | |
| Camel - Nod and Wink - Impressive Album Great call by Rwwear - I received the copy of the "Coming of Age" DVD I ordered today and have finished the first viewing. It's excellent all the way through - and especially "Ice". I wish the audio as DD5.1 (it's 2.0), but the video, camera work ... | |
| Problems with shipping to Canada I had the same thing happen (I can tell we both received the same form letter). In my case I sent an email to the buyer (this happened 4 months after the sale) reminding him he agreed to pay these fees. Fortunately for me, he had already paid them... | |
| need info on phono pre......... CHEAP The Music Hall Phono pak is worth having - does MM and MC. They can be found for less than $100 used. The Belari is also decent for the $. If you contact Belari directly they have 'B' stock units with full warranty for a significant discount - abo... | |
| Any Sarah Brightman fans here? My favorite Sarah Brightman piece isn't really her release - it's Andrew Lloyd Webber "Requiem" - with Placido Domingo. It's a beautiful piece and Sarah's singing is wonderful. I also have "Songs that got Away", which is good, but I would recommen... | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? I've had excellent success (GMA Europa, Rega Ela 2000) buying used speakers without listening to them. I did my research first, and considered the purchase to be an in-home demo, confident I could resell them if disappointed. It's unlikely I would... | |
| Django Reinhardt. I posted the text below in another thread (ie, "Favorite recent discovery"). I highly recommend Duane Andrews, and the recording quality of his cd is excellent. I also recommend the 4 box set "Django in Rome". It's well worth the money ($20 @ Amaz... | |
| Your favorite recent discovery Duane Andrews, and Django Reinhardt. I was in Nova Scotia this summer, and while in Halifax the annual Jazz East jazz festival was playing. I caught one night only which opened up with Duane Andrews. He's a Django Reinhardt follower, and his play... | |
| Favorite Movie Soundtrack Matti - there are at least 2 votes for Gladiator. One is mine from 2 days ago. But it's good enough to mention again. Good call. | |
| Favorite Movie Soundtrack "Philadelphia" - various artists"Beloved" Rachel Portman"Gladiator" Hans Zimmer/Lisa Gerrard"General's Daughter" Carter Burwell"Passion" Peter Gabriel | |
| B&K Reference 125.2 I'd call B&K. They have an 800#. Ask for customer service and you'll likely speak to a tech who can tell you the exact difference. | |
| "The Ground" by Tord Gustavsen Trio. Anyone heard? I have "Changing Places" and like very much. Sounds like I'll be picking up a copy of "The Ground" this week. thanks guys. | |
| Short floorstanders? I'm surprised you can't find used Forests in that price range. I have Totem Sttafs for my mains and still love them after 2 years. They're well w/i that price range new. I have a similar screen interferance concern, and these are just short enough. |
