| No love for 70's guitar bands? Something I thought about is that in my youth I was more into "hard rock" and had a disdain for "pop" or "mellow" artists. As I've grown older I still enjoy blasting some AC/DC or Judas Priest, but I've opened up to some things that I wouldn't ... | |
| Lets replace my Klipsch La Scala Speakers Those are huge speakers for that room. I’ve listened to La Scalas in a large sound treated dealer showroom and they hurt my ears. I like and own a lot of klipsch speakers, but don’t care for the La Scalas. I think the recommendations to downsize t... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Police - Ghost in the Machine and Zenyatta Mondatta. It was arresting. | |
| No love for 70's guitar bands? I don't know how "relevant" these bands are today, but they are the stuff of my youth. I was a little more into AC/DC, Judas Priest, Krokus, UFO, Scorpions, Led Zeppelin and the like, but listened to and saw my share of more pop oriented bands li... | |
| CD ripper Foobar2000 does a nice job of ripping CDs and also works on your computer. Agree about ripping to FLAC (not DSD). | |
| Advice Please On Subwoofer Choices For My Secondary System. What's the size of your room? If it's not too large, I'd suggest adding about $100 - $150 to your budget and look at a small sealed sub, a couple I would check out are Rythmik's L12 or SVS SB1000 or a used SVS SB12-NSD. I picked up a SVS SB12-... | |

| Tom Petty "Best of Everything" HD download I got so caught up in the emotion of listening to so many great songs that have been a part of my life for so long that the thought "hey, these sound compressed!" never occurred to me. | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? The amp in the previous post would be a good buy. I have the M1 HPAP and it's a solid performer. It's only good for connecting source components though, the USB is not very good. | |
| Relaxed, musical DAC around 2k used? For those interested in r2r DACs take a look at MHDT Labs. I picked up an Orchid recently for a 2nd system and really like it. They have a couple of balanced models, no MQA. | |
| Best Headphone system under $1000??? One of the great things about the HD-6XX is that since the HD-600/650 have been around forever there are a lot of aftermarket accessories for them - cables, earpads, etc. Putting some nice earpads on mine made them a lot more comfortable. I didn... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? A copy of Some Girls on orange vinyl. It has the original sleeve with all the celebrity photos. Sounds great! |
