| Esoteric K-03X vs Accuphase DP-720 Too bad Dan Wright doesn't offer his tube mod for Esoteric players, ay? | |
| Artists that use the same song structure... Agree completely, Frogman. Disagree completely, Czarivey. | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Pehare, I neglected to mention the amp of Rogers that should be of particular interest to Magneplanar owners. The RM-300 is a 300 watt mono block (with the same basic circuit as that of the RM-200) which may be the best tube amp available for driv... | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Ha! That is so funny, and so great. Roger sees the designs of a lot of expensive electronics as gratuitous and vulgar. He can point to particular aspects in the results of a John Aldridge Stereophile bench test, ascribe them to elements of the cir... | |
| Artists that use the same song structure... Remember when Mick Jagger sang "It's the Singer Not the Song"? When I was younger I strongly disagreed with that sentiment, putting the song way above the singer. Hence my love of The Beach Boys, precisely because they had the best songwriter in t... | |
| Best High End Audio Manufacturer??? Somewhat taken for granted, Richard Vandersteen. | |
| Best High End Audio Manufacturer??? Good one Goose. Another like Keith Herron is Roger Modjeski at Music Reference. | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Pehare---I've done exactly that. My RM-200 MK.2 amp is the last one I'll ever buy. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Jmcgrogan2 and Kijanki, if it's on the radio now I don't blame you for not liking it. I'll bet I could play you some current Country music you would like, stuff that doesn't get played. There is a substantial and thriving "alternative" Country mus... | |
| Best SACD: Modwright OPPO vs Esoteric X03 series? I'm sure both players sound great. It's the sound of most discs that sucks! | |
| What's your favorite lyric from a song? "No matter how I struggle and striveI'll never get out of this world alive".Hank Williams, of course | |
| Hartley speakers--anyone heard/heard of? Exactly correct Marty. The tweeter Levinson used was the Decca ribbon, and the old Quad, a pair per side, was the midrange driver, with the 24" Hartley in a big box. The speaker came with an active cross-over designed by John Curl. The system was ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? John Lennon was blues, McCartney zippity-doo-dah. Steve Earle said Townes was a better songwriter than Bob, but try as I might, I just don't hear it. Ah well, it don't matter, there's a new Iris Dement album just out. God do I love her! | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Iris Dement has a new album, The Trackless Words. She set the words of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) to music, and the results are, as always with Iris, wonderful. If you haven't discovered her yet, you could start here. | |
| $510.00 for an Aluminum cover for the ARC Ref. 10? Mark and Mitch, it was when my '84 528e starting needing new parts every year that I decided it was time to let it go. $1500 a year for a couple of years was more than the car was worth! I did enjoy driving it for twenty-four years, though, and go... |
