| Friday Night Listening cool, thanks for sharing. I can see we have comparable tastes as some of your list are among my fav's.One I just picked up is Toshiko Akiyoshi/Lew Tabackin "Road Time" I like this band a lot and this double live LP is great (though my copy is in r... | |
| Shipping damage protocol? Please Help. I agree with the other who say you're entitled to a refund immediately on fulfilling your responsibility of giving the speakers back to UPS. The issue is now between the seller and UPS, and you should have your money to pursue another purchase. Yo... | |
| Shipping a VPI TT, Arm & Cartridge. Help Needed If you can't find a dealer to handle this properly for you, and assuming your uncle can disassemble it, and you know how to reassemble it, I would have him take it apart and package **each part** separately in its own box (using appropriate packag... | |
| the best music dvd video?? This subject has been covered previously in multiple threads. Here's one of the latest threads which also has links to some the others.I've picked up a few since my last post that I would rate as "very good":Mike Oldfield "Live at Montreux 1981"Ac... | |
| Rotel RB-1080/Totem Model 1 Signatures? I'm not familiar with the Mod 1's, nor do I have a good comprehension of how loud you're playing them when you "turn them up". I do have Mani-2's and they will play as loud as I can imagine anyone wanting to listen with no problem. I previously ow... | |
| Von Schweikert VR 4 jr. Worth upgrading to MKII? search the archives . . . there was a discussion a while back about the differences between the 2 versions. My (vague) recollection is that the difference is minor and only exists because one of the components in the MkI is no longer available, so... | |
| Rotel RB-1080/Totem Model 1 Signatures? It's fine, and won't be a problem unless you overdrive them (try to play them too loud). But you could overdrive them even with a 100 w/c amp, and likely have bigger problems as a result because the amp may break up. | |
| vpi tonearm v.s. clearaudio I can't speak for the JMW arm, but I have a Clearaudio Satisfy arm and am very happy with it. I replaced a Rega RB300 with OL structural mod and Cardas rewire, and found it to be much more to my liking. | |
| Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Vinyl... the idea is intriguing, but I probably wouldn't spring for a lot of $. For my purposes the CD's are fine, mostly because it's once a year for a few listens only. | |
| Trans-Siberian Orchestra on Vinyl... There was an interesting article in the Washington Post on these guys 2 weeks ago. It's turned into a Rock franchise with 2 bands touring during the Christmas season. I doubt they have or intend to put out any vinyl. I do like their take on many o... | |
| Top 5 Entry-level audiophile speakers $1500-2000? Totem should also be on your list. Soundworks in Kensington, Md. has them (or the did last time I was there). They also carry Vandersteen, Gallo, and probably several others. | |
| Magnepan Ultra Tonearm you may want to post this question on Vinyl Asylum. A couple of guys there are very familiar with the Magnepan arm.Also, Vinyl Engine has the owners manual you can download for the arm. It may shed some light. | |
| B&K St-202 vs St0202+ plus the ST202 is rated 150 w/c; ST202+ is rated at 200 w/c. Both have the same current rating (28 amps).Here's B&K's amp spec's for their older amps.According to the spec page, both had a production run of '88-'93. I believe the black/gold models ... | |
| What's your favorite remake of a song Many of my fav's are mentioned above.Cowboy Junkies released a CD called "'Neath Your Covers". It was actually a throw in with "One Soul Now" when I bought it. Among the songs on 'neath your covers are 3 I like better than the original:"Thunder Ro... | |
| How to make sound less detailed with warmth? I can't imagine the amp is the root of your problem (ie lack of warmth/musicality). You're not likely to find an amplifier that's warmer than the B&K M200 without spending ~$1000+, and even at that price SS amps aren't likely to bring more war... |
