| When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad I saw a short segment on Rachel Maddows show recently (I think it was), wherein an activist was promoting the idea that non-racist is not the same as anti-racist. | |
| Best speakers for $3000 One problem with the LX521 is that it requires six channels of amplification---three stereo power amps. That nullifies it's low price. | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately McIntosh has never been considered a sound-first product. It has always been about quality of construction and aesthetics. Audiophiles in the 60's bought Marantz, not Mac. When they went solid state, only non-audiophiles bought Mac. It looked real... | |
| Audio Research discontinuing lower lines components? It’s a matter of priorities too. If good sound is important enough to you, you’ll find a way to get the money. Audiophilia has always been an exclusive club---the people who don’t care enough now wouldn’t have in the 70’s either. I had to sacrific... | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... Those damn Yamaha NS10s are everywhere, and Auratones (!) are still around, to mix singles for Radio play (they sound like car speakers). I've been seeing Tannoys in studios lately, but never, ever, audiophile type loudspeakers. Pros use a complet... | |
| KUDOS to Music Direct Jed, if you're talking about the New Record Day review of the GR-modified Elac, know that he is talking about the "advanced" mod---there is also a "basic" one, much cheaper with most of the other's benefits. | |
| Upgraded banana plugs If you REALLY want the best, solder your speaker wire ends to the x/o in your speakers on one end, and the circuit board of your amp on the other. | |
| Neutral electronics are a farce... "Rich recording engineer"? You think recording engineers are rich?! I'll bet you think professional musicians are too. News flash: Most musicians live in abject poverty, making barely enough money for food and rent. Recording engineers make a mode... | |
| KUDOS to Music Direct jedinite24---Danny Richie at GR Research is offering a modestly priced replacement x/o for the Elac, which improves it's frequency response. For details and a discussion of it's merits (the speakers designer, Andrew Jones, participates in it), the... | |
| I am sick of Adele Excellent, Marty. Remember when Costello trashed Rondstat, whose version of one of his songs he detested. She was revered at the time, but he found her to sing his lyrics as if they had no meaning. To me, there are "pretty" voices, those of singer... | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... I'm about to find out about Portland, as I'm moving across the river from it in a week, to Vancouver Washington. I've visited Portland a lot, and know there are a few shops still open. Of those I've been in Echo only, and realize being in Southern... | |
| I've Noticed Lately That There's Threads About Being Noticed Lately Tomic601, ya beat me to it! | |
| How can it be that some old recordings sound sublime? In the 70’s I made some recordings of my Jump Blues/Swing band playing live, using a pair of omni condenser mics straight into a Revox A-77. No pre-amp, no mixer, no EQ, no compression, no limiting, no noise reduction---no nuthin’. Those recording... | |
| I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately They sure made great tuners, didn't they? Not many companies have a Richard Modafferi designing for them. | |
| I notice a lot of reviewers buy the sample piece Arthur Salvatore has a lot to say on this subject on his Reference Components website. |
